Has anyone here has appraisals done for insurance purposes? If so, how much did you pay? A lot of the jewelers/ad's I've talked to want to charge $150 per watch, which seems ridiculous. Have you successfully been able to negotiate?

My AD does mine for free, even watches I didn't buy from there. I have bought 4 of my watches from them and each time they provide me with an appraisal for them at no additional charge.

Yeah, I have a couple of people who will do appraisals for free if I need them. In most cases though my insurance company trusts me with watch valuations as I have a good relationship with them and they know that I have a track record with watches. They sometimes ask for purchase price, or will ask for an assessment if I am putting a valuation on that is significantly higher than I paid, but don't pay for them.

I have had some jewellery appraised that I had to pay for, it was a couple of years ago but I think it was something like $25 + 1% of the value or something like that.

Over 1k (£) and of my local ADs will kindly do this for me (even if not purchased from them).

Two great ADs in Bath (where the sun always shines)

Free altho they did charge 10 per watch when I first used them.

That seems pretty ridiculous, especially if they carry the brand since they already have access to the replacement costs.

My AD appraised my watch free of charge when it was purchased.
