Easy communication and a very user friendly website. Buying & selling process is very straight forward.

I opted for the managed service and can honestly say that I was kept up to date with all aspects of the sale. I was a bit nervous handing my watch over but everything was professionally recorded and I was regularly updated on the progression of the sale. I would highly recommend Watch Collecting.
Watch collecting were great
Watch collecting were great. I took advantage of their management service and they took care of everything. Photographs, write up, auction, hand over to the new owner was all included in the service. Made everything very simple and hassle free and returned more money that I was expecting. Would recommend for sure

Good experience,Hugo was a great help with the auction information and how it works with the buyers getting to the end of the auction.would definitely use the auction site for any future sales or purchases.
Excellent service
Hugo provided an excellent service and was very efficient in communication. I would definitely recommend Watch Collecting to someone looking to buy or sell their watch!
Watch sale via watch collecting
Great service from Fleur and images from Alex. Listing was sorted very quickly. Auction went well. Buyer paid and collected within 24 hrs of auction completing. So, overall very happy with Watch Collecting

Hugo was phenomenal in his attention and explanation of the process.
Watch arrived shortly after purchased and it exceeds my expectations by far.
Many thanks Hugo.
We will do more business!
Dealt with Hugo
Dealt with Hugo, I was buying. He did what was necessary to achieve a sale acceptable to both parties. That's his job and he did it well!
Poor communication
Poor communication, unclear payment system and overall you are much more protected on eBay.
Watch collecting will take their fee immediately and give you the purchaser a whole load of work to do. To be fully protected you have to use escrow services to make a payment to the owner of the watch you are buying and then pay and extortionate shipping fee (£500).
It took less than a second after I ‘won’ the auction for WC to take their fee and I didn’t receive my watch for nearly two weeks.
Overall a really stressful and unpleasant buying experience. I will never use them again.
They should make the payment process and delivery service much better rather than sending thousands of pounds to a random stranger.
Alex Hensley pulled out all the stops…
Alex Hensley pulled out all the stops to arrange a specialist courier to deliver my watch prior to going on holiday. Great service, personable and always available for queries throughout the buying process. Watch Collecting is a safe place to buy used luxury watches, with accurate descriptions and detailed photos. Can highly recommend.
Excellent customer service and support
Excellent customer service and support! From the beginning of the transaction to the end, I had a lot of questions. The team was helpful, patient, kind and exceeded expectations. They are truly in a league of their own! Anyone that does business with them, can trust it will be a fantastic experience and know they are in the most caring capable hands.
Seamless experience buying and selling
Seamless experience buying and selling with Watch Collecting. Mark Fell was very knowledgeable and provided excellent support throughout. I received a better price for my watch than I expected. I used the managed service which was absolutely worth it and Watch Collecting handled everything with the buyer. This allowed me to upgrade to a new Rolex at a great price, which I also bought on the platform.
Successfully sold my watch with WC
Successfully sold my watch with Watch Collecting.
The process went really smoothly, and I appreciated the personal contact I had with Fleur Dubois. I’ve also tried selling with other auction houses, where the personal interaction is nonexistent, so this was a pleasant surprise to me.
Worse experience with a platform I have ever encountered
I usually never post about bad experiences with sellers, I usually count it as part of business risk. But some instances where a professional platform acts in a way that's unethical, I have to share and ensure no one deals with them without knowing what they do.
In an industry dependent on trust, their conduct has been anything but trustworthy.
They auctioned a watch that was far different from their horologists report—it had inauthentic parts and severe water damage, and when I raised concerns, they say that it's up to buyers to check and ask the right questions. Well what are buyers paying such a high buyers premium for, if we can't even trust them to do basic checks. What makes them different from a marketplace like Ebay if they accept no responsibility for their trades?
When bidding, they said that it's a good watch, and the seller is credible and sold multiple times through them. The reiterated that because the watch was using their managed service, and sellers are vetted, they inspect the watch and that it's a good purchase.
After winning the auction, paying, and collecting the watch, I asked another company, one I deal with regularly and trust, to inspect the watch. They instantly showed me areas that the watch is severely damaged, and tampered with by a 3rd party.
Watch Collecting has a counterfeit protection 'guarantee', well if the parts are also not original, and has been tampered with, how is that not a counterfeit, at least partly? Authenticity is binary, either 100% authentic or not. There are many many more issues with them, including some rude colleagues, without naming names.
I see that every for bad review online, they get defensive and deny everything, rather than address the issues or try to fix it.
I had recommended, as a fair resolution, that if they really believe the paperwork on the watch that they provided to me by their horologist, then relist it on their platform and sell it again to another buyer, to which they said no. They said if it needs to be resold, they will use my findings, by an external report (which I had done as a favor to me and on my cost) and cannot mislead the next buyer. But they were very okay misleading me. They knew that their existing report wouldn't hold up with the next buyer.
They refunded the buyers premium, and think that that's sufficient. Well, that premium is what lead to me buying a completely different watch than they described so it doesn't even begin to cover their mistake.
They're completely immoral, arrogant, and take advantage of buyers' trust.

Thanks to Hugo got a great price for my watch.
Would happily use them again
Very helpful and professional
This company is very professional, and talks you through each stage of an auction.

They will harass you even if you say no!
Spoke to Hugo a few months back about the possibility of listing a watch. I wasn't dying to sell and just wanted to see the reaction. I was concerned with his demeanour, his inability to return calls at a set time and his pushiness to list at a much lower price so politely declined.
Today I receive another email and I respond telling him that we've already had the conversation and decided not to go ahead. He's carried on arguing over email comparing the value of a 2019 watch to a 2022 watch.
If anyone at Watch Collecting sees this, can you please kindly ask him to stop contacting me? At no point have I asked to be repeatedly contacted or argue about a price. I've said no and moved on. I hope Hugo can too

Amazing service from start to finish
Amazing service from start to finish. Very professional outfit, Hugo was great at walking me through the process. Will 100% be buying again and recommending… once I have financially recovered from this purchase! Thanks to the Watch Collecting team.
