Thought this might be of use to some of you guys. TH March - Specialist Watch Insurance. http://www.thmarch.co.uk/
Very useful, thanks. My dear lady wife suggested getting my watches specially insured only this week. Now I can give her a little job to do
Any experience in having to claim or dealing with insurers on watches? I've just got my SMPC added to the home insurance for £40 for 6mths. They only need to know about items over the value of £2,000...and in the event of a claim would want a receipt. (Although i'll have everything documented with pictures as well.) I got a standalone quote from a "protect my bubble" type site, and it was over £200 a year for one watch!
To cover all mine worldwide (travel a lot) is only £710 and i have to have original receipts - Like you i have eveything Im not tempting fate with the claim text - will skip that!
Many thanks for the post, spoke to my home insurers over a week ago and gave them a brief run down +values on my meagre collection along with some more expensive artworks. Lassie tells me oh it will be fine you'll be covered, asked her to confirm in writing, still waiting.
I have my wifes jewellery with TM March they where recomended to me.....but have my rolex just listed on home insurance along with some art.
Normal insurance only covers for 30 day international cover, i travel a lot and live in 2 different countries for extended amount so i need good cover. It covers enough watches
Unfortunately I don't have receipts (too many cash and eBay deals) so March want an independent valuation and an authorised safe (which I have). They quoted me £1200 a year for mine...
Hi - I think it depends what you've got. My collection is mostly vintage and so is a bit difficult for some people to value. I was quoted £500 for someone to come to my house and see them and then go away and research.
