Modern pawnshops began to recover from 1987, and the items that can be pawned gradually changed from daily necessities to luxury goods, jewelry and precious metals. Beijing resumed pawnbroking from 1992. As the first pawnshop in Beijing, it focuses on civilian pawn business and becomes the first pawnshop in Beijing to pawn high-end watches. After 28 years of accumulation, a group of professional watch appraisers have been trained.

Many people think that pawn shops are just places to borrow money or realize it. Without the demand for money, they will not think of pawn shops. In fact, some old pawn shops that can carry out civilian goods business will have experts in jewelry or watches, because the premise of receiving them is that the items must be genuine. Moreover, these experts have mastered the identification methods of most watches on the market through continuous study and practice.
