How do I check a used gold chain or ring?

Look for the BIS hallmark and the six-character HUID, verify the HUID in the BIS CARE app, and have the piece weighed at a jeweller. Buy only in person.

Is a restored or redialled watch worth buying?

It can be, for wear and enjoyment, as long as the restoration is disclosed and the price reflects it. Original, unrestored watches in good condition are usually valued more by collectors.

Does Olditems verify watches or jewellery?

No. Olditems does not inspect items or handle payment. Buyer and seller deal directly, so check the item yourself or with a jeweller before paying.

What you will find in Bengaluru

Vintage and restored hand-wound and automatic watches — HMT, Citizen, Seiko, Ricoh and other older brands — have a strong collector following in the city, and many families still have an HMT from a parent or grandparent. Collectors and restorers list these regularly. Modern branded and fashion watches, smartwatch-era trade-ins and jewellery come from professionals across Koramangala, Indiranagar, Whitefield, HSR Layout and Hebbal. Older neighbourhoods such as Malleshwaram, Basavanagudi and Jayanagar are where family pieces surface. Avenue Road and Chickpet are the city’s traditional jewellery and gold area, and Commercial Street has watch and jewellery shops — both useful for a second opinion.

Buying a vintage or used watch

Movement. Wind a hand-wound watch fully and see whether it runs through the day; for an automatic, ask the seller to wear or wind it before you meet. Ask when it was last serviced.
Restored versus original. Many vintage watches have redialled or replaced parts. A redial is not necessarily bad, but it should be stated and priced in. Compare the dial printing and logo with known originals.
Case and crystal. Check the case back, crown and crystal for damage, and whether the strap is original.
Branded modern watches. Ask for the box, papers and bill. Check serial and model numbers against the papers; fakes of fashion brands are common.

Buying used gold jewellery

Hallmark. Gold jewellery sold by jewellers in India must carry a BIS hallmark with a six-character HUID. Verify the HUID using the BIS CARE app before paying.
Weigh it. Get the piece weighed — ideally at a jeweller — and confirm the purity and weight match what the seller states.
In person only. Never buy jewellery by courier or after sending money. Meet, check and then pay.

Meeting safely in Bengaluru

Meet in a busy public place in daylight, ideally near a jeweller or watch shop where you can get a second opinion. Olditems does not handle payment, delivery or pickup. Never send an advance online, never share an OTP and never scan a QR code to “receive” money. Read our safety tips.
