Submit a search

Search a watch with a unique serial or edition number against our international database to check if it has been reported to us as lost, stolen or implicated in fraud. This service helps you to avoid unknowingly buying or selling a watch that is subject to a claim.

Your search will be processed by our team within 5 minutes during working hours.

We recommend submitting a search at the point of every purchase/loan and future sale, to ensure an up-to-date result. Every search result confirms the status of the watch at the time of search.

Our Due Diligence Guidelines give further precautions that should be taken to protect yourself when buying a pre-owned watch.

Searches cost £10 (+VAT where applicable) or 1 search credit each. If you buy or sell watches on a regular basis, you can buy a credit bundle here.

To search antique/pocket watches or jewellery, use the form on our Art Loss Register site here.

N.B. If you are looking to register a lost or stolen watch on our database instead, please click here. If you have already registered your watch as lost or stolen please do NOT search it using this form.
