You must have a list of links ready and waiting given the amount of reoccurring questions that pop up.

It would have been quicker but I had to edit because you can only have 10 links in a post and there are a lot more than 10 topics. |

With all due respect to ROFF, I checked the first 8 of those 10 links and they were either from Europe and/or they were asking for advice about insuring their watches. The person who posted this question lives in America and was asking for opinions about insuring timepieces. I know a lot of you guys have been around these boards forever, but not every question is the same and it's good to get some new opinions from time to time. I personally think it depends on the value and/or scarcity of your timepiece and how much the insurance costs. I do not insure my Omega or my Breitling because I think they are easily replaceable at a reasonable cost. Both also lost considerable value as soon as I took ownership of them. I do include my Panerai and my wife's Patek because the Patek is a rare watch and would be extremely difficult and expensive to replace and the Panerai holds its value much better than the other watches I own. So in my opinion, I think you need to weigh the value of the watch against the premium of the insurance cost PLUS the actual rarity of the piece you are going to insure. I hope that helps! |

If anything, I never even thought to insure my watches, so I'm definitely going to look into that now. Thanks. |

I insure both of my Breitlings. At $40/year per watch, it's a no brainer for me. |

I don't insure my watches but think that I should. Anyone from Canada insure their watches? I too looked at the links ROLF and a lot of them were about UK insurance. |

My AD actually sends me a letter with the Jewelery store's letterhead stating the replacement cost of the watch for insurance purposes. I have yet to be worried enough about it that I should be taking out a policy for my watches alone. |

As I said on a number of the previous threads (!), I have mine on my household insurance (Intact, formerly ING) and as long as they are named items then I don't have to pay extra as long as the total contents value doesn't exceed a percentage of the total insurance coverage. I've had the same policy for quite a number of years now, so no idea if they still offer that or whether I am grandfathered. |

My household new for old policy covers items like Lings...expensive golf clubs, ect ..if you declare them as seperate items...including full photo evidence, serial numbers, and reciepts........up to a certain value within the current year. For the SA it also covers it for out of house theft and loss......along with a police report.
