Buyer Protection
Authentication
& Escrow Service
Found a watch you want to buy from a private seller or online marketplace — but not sure it's real? We act as a trusted third party.
The seller ships directly to us. We perform a full authentication — movement, case, dial, hands, crown, and serial verification. Once confirmed genuine and as described, you send payment to the seller and we release the watch. If anything doesn't check out, you're notified before a single dollar changes hands.
