WJD Exclusives

What to know about shopping at WJD Exclusives

WJD Exclusives is a US dealer in pre-owned luxury watches and fine jewelry, selling direct from its own store rather than through a marketplace. It is worth understanding what that means before shopping: this is secondhand and, in a large part of the range, customized stock rather than manufacturer-supplied new inventory, and the listings are unusually explicit about the distinction.

On the watch side, the seller describes each piece component by component - which parts are original to the manufacturer and which have been added afterwards. Aftermarket diamond bezels, diamond-set dials and custom bracelets are common, and are named as custom rather than presented as factory specification. WJD states that pieces are professionally serviced, refinished and tested before sale, and that they ship with a third-party certificate of authenticity carrying matching serial numbers. Most listings also record that the original manufacturer papers are not included, which is the detail to check first if provenance documentation matters to you, and it is stated on the listing rather than buried. We have not inspected or verified any item ourselves.

The jewelry half is more conventional and considerably more affordable: rings, bracelets, earrings, chains, pendants, necklaces, anklets and matching sets, largely gold and diamond-set, with a made-to-order custom service alongside. Prices here start well under a hundred dollars and run up into the thousands, so the same store serves a small gift and a serious purchase.

Practical points. Shipping is free on US orders. The company states a one-year seller warranty on watches, and a lifetime diamond replacement warranty covering a large part of the range - worth reading in full, since a replacement warranty and a repair warranty are different things. Financing and insurance referrals are offered at checkout, which is a reflection of the price bracket the watches sit in. For a high-value purchase, contact them before ordering: they publish a phone line and live chat, and a conversation about condition and documentation is worth more than any listing photograph.
