On the very few occasions I’ve sold a watch, this is the route I’ve gone down.
This ^^^ - have used this route a few times in the past and seems like the best balance between risk/hassle on one hand and achieved price on the other. I think Chronext offers the possibility of a commission sale and so does A Collected Man (but i guess the watch you want to sell have fit their type of assortment).
