LBC Pawn Cash 4 Gold 3% Loans* buys Chanel Première watches in Boston — from the original 1987 edition to the current relaunch — authenticated at the counter and paid in cash the same visit. The Première was Chanel's very first watch: an octagonal case echoing the N°5 stopper and the Place Vendôme, on a chain bracelet interlaced with leather lifted straight from the handbags. It is the most Chanel object the watch division has ever made.

The Première watches we buy
- Première Original — the current edition of the 1987 design
- Vintage Première — 1980s and 90s originals
- Première in stainless steel
- Première in yellow gold and gold editions
- Première Édition Originale — the relaunch collector version
- Diamond-set Première models
- Première with leather-interlaced chain bracelet
- Première metal-bracelet and Ruban versions
- Première Sound and special editions
Gold and vintage split this market. Gold Premières price on metal plus icon status; the 1980s–90s originals have become collectibles in their own right, especially in complete, unpolished condition. Steel current editions are the steady trade.
What makes a Première pay more
- The chain bracelet complete and un-stretched
- Leather interlacing intact and unfaded
- Case edges sharp — the octagon shows polishing instantly
- Running well; vintage pieces with recent service
- Full set — box and papers
- Diamond versions with complete settings
The Première's bracelet is half the watch. A chain that still drapes like jewelry — not stretched, not missing its leather — is the difference between a nice example and the right example.
Authenticated in store — no receipt needed
Première watches are authenticated in store — case, dial, serial, bracelet construction and movement behavior are checked at the counter, with professional authentication equipment where it applies. No receipt is required. Box and papers support the offer if they survive — on vintage pieces, they often don't, and the watch still trades.
The more you bring in, the more you get. The Première pairs with everything Chanel in the drawer — the flap whose chain it echoes, the fine jewelry, the J12 beside it. Bring the watch wardrobe together and price it as one lot. The more you bring in, the more you get.
Conditions we buy
- Complete, unpolished, running — pays the most
- Current editions in light wear
- Vintage originals with honest patina
- Bracelet wear priced in
- Non-running pieces bought as-is

How it works
1. Text photos first. Photos of your Première watch, front and back, plus any details, to 857-867-6468 — get a realistic range before you travel.
2. Bring it in. 1107 Commonwealth Ave, Boston — Mon–Fri 11–6:30, Sat 11–4:30. Bring a valid photo ID (18+). We authenticate and price the item at the counter, in front of you.
3. Get paid the same visit. Cash on the spot — or a pawn loan at 3% per month* if you would rather borrow against it and keep it yours.
Sell it, or borrow against it and keep it?
Small watch, iconic collateral. Borrow against your Première at 3% per month* for up to 4 months, renewable — gold and diamond pieces handled in our private VIP room — or sell it into a collector market that keeps warming up.
Private VIP room: for loans and purchases over $2,000, ask about our private VIP room when you book — high-value pieces are handled there, not across a busy counter.
Why bring your Première here?
Mail-in buyers quote one number online, then grade your piece down in a warehouse you have never seen — and hold your item hostage while you argue.
Marketplaces and consignment mean weeks of messages, flakes, fees and scam risk on a piece worth serious money.
At LBC Pawn your Première watch is authenticated and priced at the counter in front of you, the offer is the offer, and you leave with cash the same visit — or a loan ticket and your ownership intact.
Skip the drive-first guesswork. Text photos of the item to 857-867-6468 and get a ballpark before you come. Prefer to talk? Call the same number during shop hours.

Questions we hear
- Is a vintage 1987 Première worth more than a new one?
- In collector terms it can be — the originals are where the design started, and complete unpolished examples are genuinely hunted. New gold editions price on their own metal-and-retail logic. Bring either; we price the actual watch.
- My Première needs a battery. Problem?
- No — quartz Premières needing batteries are routine buys, priced with the service noted. Tell us it's not running when you text.
- The leather in the bracelet is worn. Still OK?
- Yes — it is the model's known wear point and it is priced in. Intact leather simply earns more.
- Can I pawn my Première?
- Yes — 3% per month* (plus the one-time 8% first-month charge), up to 4 months, renewable.
