Watch Authentication in Melbourne: Free and No Obligation
Free, no-obligation authentication by certified watchmakers, for Melbourne owners who want certainty about what they own.
Why Authenticate a Watch in Melbourne?
Before you insure, sell or pass on a luxury watch, it is worth knowing precisely what it is. Our certified watchmakers examine the movement, case, dial and bracelet, and explain what they find in plain terms. The service is free and you are under no obligation to sell.
Melbourne has a long-established collector community, and with it a steady trade in vintage and pre-owned pieces. Older watches are where authentication earns its keep: service replacements, redialled faces and mismatched movements are far more common on a forty-year-old watch than a recent one, and none of it is visible without opening the case.
What Our Watchmakers Check
Every watch is assessed across three areas before we give you an answer
Movement
Calibre, finishing, serial and reference engravings, and whether the movement matches the case it sits in.
Case and bracelet
Machining quality, lug profile, clasp construction and engraving depth, all common tells on counterfeits.
Dial and hands
Printing, lume application and any sign the dial has been refinished, which materially affects value.
