What Watchlabb is for

Watchlabb was set up to make buying and selling original watches better recorded, more transparent and safer. Every member who posts a listing verifies their phone number and identity. Individual listings are reviewed before they go live. Stores open only after they are verified with documents or a social media account.

Watchlabb takes no commission on sales. Members and stores reach each other directly and agree the price, delivery and terms themselves.

Who it is for

Individual members selling a watch: You can post listings within your monthly free listing limit, put your watch up for auction or offer it to our approved stores with Trink Saat.
Collectors and watch lovers: You can browse listings, contact sellers directly, bid in auctions and add the watch you are looking for to Watch Radar.
Stores selling original watches: You can open your own store page as a Verified Dealer or Registered Dealer and publish listings without waiting for review.
