02 — The movement

Every listing is
checked by hand.

Sellers sign in with Google, send a timestamp photo of the watch with their name and the date, and wait for an admin to approve the ad. Fakes and unclear listings never reach the auction floor.

03 — Engineering

Nothing hidden.
Nothing charged.

  • Ads run free for 30 days. Pick an auction of 3 to 30 days inside that.
  • Bids extend near the end. A bid in the last 2 minutes adds 2 minutes, so nobody is sniped.
  • Direct contact. When the hammer falls, winner and seller see each other’s details and deal directly.

04 — Édition

09 — Questions

Before you bid

Does watch.bid charge any fees?

No. Listing, bidding and messaging are free. We never handle payment; the winner and seller arrange it directly.

Who can bid or sell?

Anyone can browse. To bid, sell or send messages you sign in with a verified Google account and wait for an admin to approve your account.

How do I know a watch is genuine?

Every listing is reviewed by a person and sellers send a timestamp photo with their name and the date. Still, ask for more photos, check serial numbers and pay with a method that protects you. See Buying safely.

What happens when I win?

You and the seller see each other’s contact details and a message thread opens. Agree on payment, shipping and insurance before anything is sent.

Is a bid binding?

Yes. A bid is a promise to buy at that price if you win and the reserve is met. Bids cannot be withdrawn.
