LBC Pawn Cash 4 Gold 3% Loans* buys Day-Dates in Boston in yellow, white and Everose gold and platinum, and prices them the way they deserve: as watches first, with the gold value as the floor, never the ceiling.
Sell for cash the same visit, or borrow against it at 3% per month* — a President secures one of the strongest loans we write. Text photos to 857-867-6468.

Dial rarities pay: factory stone dials (onyx, lapis, malachite), Stella colors and the green ombré are worth real premiums — tell us the dial before you come in and we will be ready.
A Day-Date is worth more than its weight — here is the proof
Most gold buyers see a Day-Date as 100-plus grams of 18k and quote melt. That leaves the watch's real value — the reference, the dial, the movement generation, the bracelet's condition — on the table, in their pocket. We price both layers: full precious-metal value as the base, plus the Rolex premium on top, and we will walk you through both numbers at the counter.
Bracelet stretch matters most on Presidents — the hollow-center-link bracelets on older cars wear, and a tight bracelet is worth a visibly better offer. Correct factory dials (never refinished) and unpolished cases with sharp fluting on the bezel complete the picture.
Box & papers — they pay more, but they are not required
A full set — inner and outer box, warranty card, booklets, hang tags and links — adds real money to a Day-Date offer, because the next buyer pays for completeness. No box, no papers? We buy it anyway. Our staff authenticate and inspect the watch in-house: the movement, the reference and serial engravings, the dial, hands and bracelet are all checked at the counter, and we price what is in front of us.
Bringing more than the watch? The more you bring in, the more you get — a second watch, the gold chain you never wear, the coins in the drawer. Bundles are priced piece by piece in front of you, and the total is almost always stronger than selling each item separately somewhere else.
Bring a valid photo ID. Sellers and borrowers are 18+ with ID; serial numbers are checked and every transaction is recorded and reported exactly as Massachusetts law requires.
How it works
1. Text photos first. Photos of your Day-Date — dial, case back, clasp, plus the box and papers if you have them — 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+). Rolex deals are handled in our private VIP room, and we inspect and price the watch at the counter, in front of you.
3. Get paid the same visit. Cash on the spot if you sell — or a pawn loan at 3% per month* if you would rather borrow against it and keep it yours.
Why sell your Day-Date here?
Cash-for-gold shops are the worst place in Boston to sell a Day-Date — melt pricing on a President throws away thousands. We are a watch buyer that also buys gold, not the other way around.
Online marketplaces mean weeks of messages, shipping a five-figure watch to a stranger, and real fraud risk on the payment.
At LBC Pawn the watch is inspected at the counter in front of you, the offer is the offer, and you leave with cash the same visit — or with a loan ticket and the watch still yours.
Skip the drive-first guesswork. Text photos of the watch — dial, case back, and the box and papers if you have them — to 857-867-6468 and get a ballpark before you come. Prefer to talk? Call the same number during shop hours.
What a loan costs — in plain numbers
| If you borrow | After month 1 | After month 2 | After month 3 | After month 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $100 | $111 | $114 | $117 | $120 |
That first month includes the one-time 8% charge; after that it is a flat 3% per month. No hidden fees, no surprises — the full cost is printed on your ticket.
*Pawn loans: 3% per month interest plus a one-time 8% charge in the first month only. Example: a $100 loan costs $111 after month 1, $114 after month 2, $117 after month 3 and $120 after month 4. Loans run up to 4 months and may be renewed by paying the interest due. Borrowers must be 18 or older with valid photo ID. Items not redeemed by the end of the loan term may be sold as allowed by Massachusetts law.

Questions we hear
- How do you price a Day-Date — as a watch or as gold?
- Both, in your favor: the precious-metal content sets the floor, and the reference, dial, condition and completeness add the watch premium on top. You see both parts of the number before you decide.
- Do you buy platinum Day-Dates?
- Yes — the 228236 and earlier platinum references, including ice-blue dial cars. Platinum is tested and weighed in front of you and priced at full platinum value plus the watch premium.
- My President bracelet is stretched. Is it worth bringing in?
- Absolutely. Stretch is common on five-digit cars and is priced in, not used to reject the watch. The head, dial and movement carry most of the value.
- Can I get a loan on a Day-Date instead of selling?
- Yes — precious-metal watches are premium collateral. Borrow at 3% per month plus the one-time 8% first-month charge, up to 4 months, renewable, handled privately in our VIP room.
