I was given a clear and fair valuation of the item I intended to sell, without obligation Alex was really helpful and friendly and didn't pressurise, I was nervous about sending the item via the post however all went smoothly, they arranged everything, I had a seamless service from start to finish, If I ever had to sell anything like this again, Alex would be my first port of call
Starting at the end. Essentially when you win they give you the sellers details and you sort everything out despite the offer of assistance which is ignored. Not a bad gig for £600 minimum fee. I asked what they do for their £600 and was ignored. They do offer for you to use their facilities but that adds further cost.
At time of bidding, very often the time left changes. Counting down the seconds and another two minutes are added. Hmmm
Fantastic experience buying this Watch but the seller was brilliant and the packaging was done with such care and attention. He insured. The Watch arrived safely to me a big thank you. Also a big thank you to fluer great support from Collecting Watches
Mark was very helpful and super professional from start to finish. He arranged photography of my watch at their offices in London, and made sure I was kept informed throughout the process of when the watch would be listed and when the auction would start. I didn't quite achieve the price I was hoping for, but Mark's attention to the sale during the last couple of days of the auction meant I was able to lower the reserve in order to be sure it sold, rather than miss out because I'd set the reserve too high. I'd certainly use them again if I wanted to sell another watch.
I had a very bad experience with this platform. The watch I bought arrived with a bent case, and the repair evaluation came back at over £15,000 — more than I originally paid. I sent them the official report from Switzerland, but received no help or support from the WatchCollecting team. In my experience, the watches do not seem to be properly examined before listing, so I would advise buyers to be very careful.
Hugo was extremely helpful in giving me guidance on the procedure, having not purchased through a watch auction before.
The photos were very clear and presented the watch in its true condition.
I will certainly be confident in buying further watches in the future via Watch Collecting Auctions.
Made so easy and mark was great in helping , just can’t wait for it to arrive
Great post purchase communication and help
Effortless professional performance - thank you Watch Collecting
Watch collecting offers great service and communication with successful buyers.
My only recommendation would be for them to be able to arrange freight from the UK to Australia, but now that I've opened my own Fedex account it should be simple in ther future. It would also be great to be able to pay by credit card as international transactions are not always easy and credit card Exchange rates are usually better than banks .
Overall, a great experience for my first purchase on this site.
Cheers to Alex for his help.
Straightforward to bid and secure the watch.
- Good Comms
- Straightforward payment processes
- Secure delivery to my door

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. 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.
