Understanding the watch

When you enter, you'll see a selection of pre-owned watches up for auction.

Clear photos show the actual watch as it is, including any visible marks and wear. What you see is what you will receive. You can look through the photos and form your own view before bidding.

Key details help you understand the watch's specifications and current condition. This includes information such as its reference number, case size, movement, water resistance, functions, condition report, and the items that come with the watch.

The Value section explains what the watch offers and where it sits in the current market. It brings together the recommended retail price, current pre-owned market range, and starting bid, showing whether the starting bid offers a potential price advantage compared with the current pre-owned market range.

Value insight is included, so you know what you're looking at.
Make Decision

You decide how to bid

Every watch begins with a starting bid set by Solvera.

As people place their bids, the price moves up.

When you find a watch that interests you, you can place a bid and follow the auction until it ends. If the bidding goes beyond what you are comfortable with, you can leave it there.

Alternatively, Save Max Bid lets you set the highest amount you are willing to bid for the lot. The system then bids automatically on your behalf, only when needed and never beyond your limit. If another bidder places a bid above your limit, the system stops bidding for you.

If your bid is the highest when the auction ends, the watch is yours.
