Why Authenticate a Watch in Sydney?

Whether you have inherited a watch, bought privately, or simply want certainty before insuring or selling, our certified watchmakers examine your timepiece and tell you what it is. Authentication is free and carries no obligation to sell.

Sydney's private sale market is the largest in Australia, and the volume of watches changing hands through classifieds, forums and social media is exactly why independent verification matters. A Submariner bought privately in the Eastern Suburbs deserves the same scrutiny as one bought at auction.

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.
