Great communication
Will from Watch Collecting was great through the whole process and rung me to let me know there was another example of a watch that I’d previously missed out on was on the platform.
I didn’t miss out this time! Thank you 👍
Pleasant experience
Great set up smooth transaction very professional would definitely recommend
A great way to sell pre-owned luxury watches
A straightforward way to realise fair market driven prices for pre-owned luxury watches. The managed service worked well - with professional photography and liaison with buyers direct to arrange collection from WC offices. Great support from Hugo @ WC. Thank-you
Very professional service
Very professional service, website easy to navigate and bid, My only personal annoyance is payment/delivery, their commission must be made immediately by credit card/debit card! however payment then must be paid in full direct to the seller! If the seller doesn't have any credit card/paymet facilities, Paypal etc...your stuck unless paying by bank transfer? also a pain personally for me was that you have to personally book the courier and separate courier insurance! then once done send them the courier labels so it can be collected by the courier the next day. I gave up trying in the end thus drove there! Great if you live in London however I was over 4 hours away! So think they really need to include shipping/insurance within the commission they charge or as an additional fee to have a complete end to end transaction and customer journey.
They are a very professional company so even with the above negatives I still feel its a 5* from me.

A very reliable, easy to use platform. I have now purchased 4 watches via the auctions, which have all gone well, without any hitches.

The service was very slick and professional. I missed the auction but was allowed to enquire as the reserve had not been met.
Alex dealt with everything and I picked the watch up from their HQ.
I would highly recommend watch collecting and now enjoy bidding on the various auctions.
It’s a watchaholic’s dream. Get onboard!
Excellent all round
This is an excellent service and the quality of support ,in my case from Hugo, was first rate , showing a real commitment to achieving transactions in the interests of all parties going well beyond what might reasonably be expected of an online auction platform.
Typically more expensive than market
Typically more expensive than market after bidding end and additional buyer’s premium which they charge for so called service, which is very poor since they just provide email address of seller. No payment platform, no shipping service, all to be arranged between seller and buyer

Professional
Very easy service, professional and always on hand. Phone calls always returned if not answered immediately and questions always answered with satisfaction.
I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again. To note I received what my watch was worth and I was paid out in around 48 hours.
Making life easy!
Watchcollecting were brilliant, and helped secure an excellent sale price for the two items I listed with them.
Special thanks to Fleur for making the process so easy, and thumbs up for the Managed Service - yes it costs a bit, but made my life much easier!

Excellent support from Alex @…
Excellent support from Alex @ WatchCollecting who was pretty much on the ball all the way through the three transactions. Decent results by and large although one watch was let down by a silly little bidder that won the auction and then couldn’t pay so they ruined the auction for the genuine bidders, myself and Alex at WatchCollecting……perhaps that bidder should stick to ebay. l think WatchCollecting should note their details and ban bidders like that completely for the future as they waste everyones time and money.
Alex stepped up though and got the watch sold, although sadly with a reduction against the next best underbidders original bid.
All three watches sold and would certainly sell on here again.
So well done Alex, couldn’t fault him…..
Superb service
