I have a watch I don't wear and decided to sell it.  I sent emails to several online dealers and got offers back, pending inspection.

Has anyone dealt with a company called Crown and Caliber?  They made the best offer by several hundred and I am hoping someone here has dealt with them.

Thanks for any help

I’ve heard good things about them but no first hand experience.

I’m curious if these offers were better than selling on a forum or similar, or is it just ease of transaction that makes it worthwhile?

Mostly ease of sale.  Right now it needs a battery.  It has been sitting in my safe for 5 years and I haven't worn a watch for longer than that.

I bought it back when I had a pawnshop, it was represented as recently serviced and it does look like almost new.  However I don't want to sell it to someone and find out there was an issue that needed addressed

Quick update for anyone interested.

I contacted three companies on my watch,  Crown and caliber, Gray and Sons, and European Watch Co.  

European Watch said they didn't deal in Quartz, but I could expect between $800 and $1400 for my watch.

Gray and Sons made an offer between $1000 and $1200, pending inspection of the watch.

Crown and Caliber estimated between $1400 and $1900, pending inspection.  I sent my watch to C&C and got a finalized offer today of $1725 and I took that one.
