Every luxury pre-owned watch should be searched against The Watch Register database prior to your transaction. This includes watches sold with box and papers, and watches which have already been checked against the database by a previous owner. A Watch Register search will offer you the best protection against lost, stolen or fake goods.

We recommend searching each watch again upon future sale to ensure an up-to-date result.

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

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.
