Thinking of Selling — Or Just Curious What You Have?
From the distinctive trees of Ilex Way and Sea Lane to St Mary’s Church and the Goring Gap, Goring-by-Sea has its own character along this quieter stretch of the West Sussex coast.
If you have an old watch, jewellery, coins, silver or antiques at home, you don’t have to decide to sell before getting in touch.
Perhaps you’ve inherited something and simply want to know what it is. Maybe you’ve discovered an old watch or box of coins in a drawer. Or perhaps you already know you’d like to sell and want a straightforward valuation.
Whatever the reason, you’re welcome to contact me.
I offer free private home valuations throughout Goring-by-Sea (BN12). I’ll examine your items, explain what I can about them and, if you’re interested in selling, provide a clear offer.
If you decide to sell, that’s great. If you don’t, that’s absolutely fine too.
An Old Watch Can Be Worth More Than Its Gold Weight
Vintage Ladies 9ct Gold Rolex Watch
A vintage ladies Rolex watch crafted in solid 9ct gold, featuring a classic textured dial and decorative gold bracelet strap.

A vintage gold watch shouldn’t automatically be valued simply for its precious-metal weight.
With a piece like this 9ct gold Rolex, I consider the maker, movement, condition and complete watch alongside its gold content before reaching a valuation.
If you have an old watch tucked away and aren’t sure whether it’s valuable, you don’t need to research it first. Show it to me and I’ll take a look.
Not Sure What Carat Your Gold Is?
9ct Gold Curb Chain and 18ct Gold Textured Cufflinks
A selection of solid gold jewellery featuring a 9ct yellow gold curb chain alongside a pair of gentleman’s 18ct yellow gold textured oval cufflinks.

Different pieces sitting in the same jewellery box can contain very different amounts of gold.
Here, the chain is 9ct gold, while the cufflinks are 18ct gold. I examine each piece individually, checking its purity, weight and whether it has value beyond the precious metal itself.
You don’t need to separate 9ct from 18ct or understand the hallmarks beforehand. That’s my job.
Found a Box of Old Coins?
Collection of Mixed Antique and Vintage Silver Coins
A diverse collection of antique and vintage world coins, including British silver pieces, US silver dollars and continental European coinage.

Old coin collections can contain a surprising mixture of dates, countries and silver contents.
If you’ve inherited or discovered a box of British and foreign coins, don’t worry about identifying or pricing every coin yourself. I’m happy to go through them and identify anything that deserves closer attention.
Even if you’re only curious about what you’ve found, you’re welcome to show me.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I contact you even if I’m not sure I want to sell?
Absolutely. You don’t have to be ready to sell before contacting me. You may simply be curious about an old watch, jewellery, coins or another item you have at home. I’ll explain what I can see and, where appropriate, arrange a valuation. There is no obligation to accept an offer or sell anything to me.
Do you offer free home valuations in Goring-by-Sea?
Yes. I provide free, no-obligation home valuations throughout Goring-by-Sea (BN12) and the surrounding area.
Do you buy vintage gold watches such as Rolex?
Yes. I’m always interested in looking at vintage and luxury watches. With a gold watch, I consider the maker, movement, condition and complete piece, rather than automatically valuing it only for its gold content.
I’ve found a mixture of old British and foreign coins. Should I sort them first?
No. There’s no need to identify, clean or sort the coins beforehand. I’m happy to look through mixed collections and identify anything that deserves closer attention.
Do I need receipts, boxes or certificates?
No. Original paperwork, boxes or certificates can be useful when available, but you don’t need them before getting in touch.
