Everything a dealer needs

A verified dealer network, escrow, and zero seller commission — through live, timed auctions.

Reach a bigger network

Trade with verified dealers across Europe — including countries you don't normally reach. Every dealer is checked against their national business register and AML/KYC-verified before they get access.

Trade without the risk

Funds sit in escrow with our certified payment partner until the buyer confirms receipt and condition. No public listings, no strangers, no chasing payment from someone you've never met.

Get the best price

Put trade-ins and deadstock in front of a European market of dealers, not just the one buyer down the street. Competitive bidding means you're never stuck taking the first lowball offer.

Zero seller commission

Sellers pay 0%. Buyers pay 1.5%, from €95 up to a €295 cap, for escrow and buyer protection.

Source what you need

Set up Sourcing for what you're after, and get notified the moment a matching watch goes to auction — anywhere in the network.

WatchStock, included

Free inventory management for every dealer. Free for your first 6 months, then free again every month you auction at least one watch.

WatchStock · inventory management

More than a marketplace

Most dealers track stock across spreadsheets, WhatsApp threads and memory — no single view of what the collection actually holds or what it's worth. WatchStock is WatchIT's built-in inventory system, included for every dealer.

  • ✓Track your full collection in one place, with condition, cost and status per piece
  • ✓List straight to auction the moment you're ready to sell
  • ✓Free for your first 6 months, no strings attached
Free for your first 6 months After that: €0/month whenever you auction 1 or more watches, otherwise €65/month (ex VAT)

From application to settlement

Four steps stand between you and a closed network of verified European dealers.

01

Apply & get verified

We check your business registration and run AML/KYC checks through our certified payment partner. Every dealer on WatchIT goes through the same process, so you never have to vet a counterparty yourself.

02

List for auction, or bid — with your reserve

List your stock with a reserve price, or bid on others' — always inside a closed, verified dealer network.

03

Reserve not met? Offer it anyway

Offer the watch directly to the highest bidder — they accept or decline, no relisting needed.

04

Settle through escrow

Funds sit in escrow with our certified payment partner, and reach the seller only once you've confirmed receipt and approved the watch's condition.

Shipping · built in

Delivery, handled end to end

Once a sale is confirmed, WatchIT generates the shipping label automatically through our shipping partner — no manual booking, no chasing couriers. Both dealers get full tracking from pickup to delivery, and funds stay in escrow until the buyer confirms the watch has arrived.

  • ✓Express shipping label created automatically the moment payment is confirmed
  • ✓Full tracking for both dealers, from pickup to delivery
  • ✓Express shipping through our certified shipping partner

Compliance, automated — not on you

From July 2027, the EU's Anti-Money Laundering Regulation turns trading outside a regulated channel into a legal minefield for the individual dealer — not just the platform. WatchIT builds every requirement into the trade itself, so compliance happens automatically instead of becoming your job.

  • ✓Every dealer is identity-verified and KYC/KYB-checked through our certified payment partner before they can trade
  • ✓Every dealer is checked against their national business register, so you're never trading with an anonymous counterparty
  • ✓All payments run through secure digital escrow — no cash, so the €10,000 EU / €3,000 NL cash-limit risk simply doesn't apply
The alternative is doing this yourself, deal by deal. From July 2027, trading over WhatsApp or in cash means running your own identity checks and record-keeping — with real personal liability if you get it wrong.

Things you probably wonder

Everything you need to know before you apply.

Who can join WatchIT?

Verified watch dealers across Europe. Every applicant is checked against their national business register and goes through AML/KYC verification via our certified payment partner before getting access.

What does WatchStock cost?

Nothing for your first 6 months. After that, it's free in any month you auction at least one watch, and €65/month (ex VAT) in months you don't.

How much does WatchIT charge on a sale?

Sellers pay 0% commission. Buyers pay 1.5%, with a €95 floor and €295 cap, for escrow and buyer protection.

How long does an auction run?

3 to 5 days, calibrated to the watch's value — short enough to keep stock moving and cash flowing, long enough for real bidding to happen.

What happens if my reserve isn't met?

You can offer the watch directly to the highest bidder — they accept or decline, no relisting needed.

How is payment secured?

Funds are held in escrow with our certified payment partner, Online Payment Platform, and reach the seller only once you've confirmed receipt and approved the item's condition.

Can I export my listings elsewhere?

Yes — export straight to Chrono24, WooCommerce, and Shopify, so your WatchIT stock stays in sync with the tools you already use.

Who arranges shipping?

WatchIT does. Once payment is confirmed, we generate an express shipping label automatically through our shipping partner, with tracking sent to both dealers — no manual booking on either side.

How fast is delivery?

Shipments go out express, with full tracking from pickup to delivery, so you always know exactly where a watch is. Exact timing depends on origin and destination.

Why does this matter now?

From July 2027, EU anti-money-laundering law (AMLR) makes trading through unregulated channels — WhatsApp groups, cash deals, informal networks — legally risky for the individual dealer. Every WatchIT dealer is identity-verified and KYC/KYB-checked through our certified payment partner before they trade, and every payment runs through digital escrow instead of cash. Compliance happens automatically, instead of becoming your job.

What changes if I keep trading over WhatsApp?

From July 2027, you're personally responsible for identity checks, sanctions screening and record-keeping on every deal — a chat screenshot and a bank transfer isn't a valid compliance file. Break off a deal because a buyer won't identify themselves, and you may be required to report it as an unusual transaction. WatchIT handles the verification and payment side for you, for every trade.
