How It Works

Whether you're buying your dream watch or selling a timepiece from your collection, our platform makes it simple and secure.

For Buyers

Step 1

Browse & Discover

Explore our curated selection of luxury watches. Each listing includes detailed photos, specifications, condition reports, and seller information.

Step 2

Set Up Payment

Add a payment method to your account. When you bid, we place an authorization hold for the service fee: no charge unless you win.

Step 3

Place Your Bid

Bid on watches you love. You'll be notified instantly if you're outbid so you can bid again.

Step 4

Win & Purchase

If you win, your service fee is captured and you'll be connected with the seller to arrange payment and shipping for the watch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are fees calculated, and who pays them?

Sellers pay nothing to list or sell. The buyer pays a service fee only on a winning bid: 3% with standard checkout, or 5% with verified checkout (a $500 minimum applies to verified). Every fee is capped at $5,000, no matter how high the final price. The fee is authorized as a hold when you bid and captured only if you win.

What is verified checkout, and what does it include?

Verified checkout adds independent authentication to your purchase. The fee is 5% of the winning bid (minimum $500). If you win, the seller ships the watch to our independent authentication partner, who verifies it against the listing before you pay. You only pay the seller after the watch passes.

How does the authorization hold work?

When you place a bid, we authorize a temporary hold on your card for the service fee: 3% with standard checkout or 5% with verified. If you're outbid, the hold is released right away. If you win, the hold becomes your fee. The price of the watch itself is never charged through us.

What's the difference between no reserve and reserve?

A reserve is a confidential minimum the seller is willing to accept. If bidding ends below the reserve, the watch isn't sold and the seller may relist. A no-reserve auction has no minimum: it sells to the highest bidder when time runs out, however high or low.

Can I retract a bid?

Bids are binding and cannot be retracted. Please bid carefully.

Is my serial number public?

No. If you provide a serial number when you submit a watch, we keep it private and use it only for internal verification. It is never shown on the public listing.

How do photos and listing review work?

Every submission needs at least 5 high-quality photos, and we encourage sellers to include the box, papers, and service history. Our team reviews each submission before it goes live. We recommend buyers study the photos and condition details closely and request any additional verification they need before bidding.
