Given a recent thread and a recent purchase, who are the go to people for watch insurance?

Thanks

I have used Highworth for a few years. Not the cheapest but very comprehensive that gives me peace of mind abroad, diving, and even in London...

Thanks.. gave them a call. Fairly reasonable price I thought.

Mind me asking how much roughly?

I'd be insuring for about £8k

[thebraketester]

Approx 2.5% of the value per year. A fraction more for European cover.

I found adding to my home insurance was cheaper.

Always added mine to house insurance (Admiral) under listed items of high value, which you have to do for anything over a certain limit.. maybe 2.5k from memory. I have multiple watches and an EMTB listed and it only added on about £40 to the annual policy.

Me too. I have £10,000 for two watches included and it didn't add much to my annual home contents bill.

Good idea about adding it as an item on home insurance. Will investigate.

Added mine to house insurance too for about £25. Covers whilst out wearing it too.

Absolutely the right move -- see my posting in https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&... for my accident with my Patek as a perfect example as to why you need it!
