Used gold watches in Devonport typically sell for A$115 to A$1,150 (about $81 to $810). There are really two markets here — watches valued as timepieces and watches valued as gold — and knowing which yours belongs to sets the price.
Selling a gold watch in Devonport
Devonport is where the ferry from the mainland docks, which makes a town of this size a genuine gateway, and it sits in the middle of one of the most productive vegetable-growing districts in the country. Caravans and vehicles come off that ferry constantly.
Touring travellers sell up at the end of a trip rather than shipping things home, which puts camping and vehicle equipment onto the market here disproportionately. Agricultural work adds its own seasonal population on top.
The town is small and driving is easy. The ferry timetable shapes the traffic through town more than anything else, so it is worth avoiding the hour either side of a sailing if you are collecting something large.
On a caravan or anything that has toured, check the seals and the roof before the interior. Water ingress is what actually destroys them, and it is invisible from inside until the damage is done.
Handing it over in Devonport
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.

What gold watches are worth
What lifts the price
- A recognised maker with an established service history
- Solid gold rather than plated or filled cases
What pulls it down
- A non-running movement, which buyers price as a service cost
- Replacement bracelets or dials on collectable pieces
Working out what yours is worth
- Note whether it says solid gold, gold filled or gold plated
- Wind or wear it for a day and check how much time it gains or loses
Getting it ready
- Find the hallmark on the case back or lug and photograph it. Solid gold is hallmarked; plated is usually marked GP, rolled gold or with a micron figure.
- Weigh the watch and note whether the bracelet is also gold, since that can be most of the weight.
Photograph
- The case back with the hallmark or markings, legible
- The watch on a scale with the weight visible
Put in the description
- Total weight in grams, and whether the bracelet is also gold
- Brand, model and movement type: manual, automatic or quartz
Metal, brand and movement: “9ct Solid Gold Gentleman’s Watch, Automatic, 42g”. State solid or plated in the title — not doing so wastes everyone’s time and reads as evasive. Weight matters because buyers calculate a metal floor price from it.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
