TRADE

Open to trades and serious enquiries.

I am a private collector, not a dealer. Every watch on this site was bought to be worn and kept — but collections evolve, and a few pieces are open to trade or sale to the right person. If something here speaks to you, tell me which piece and what you have in mind.

WHERE I HAVE BOUGHT

Six years of boutique relationships.

Almost everything in the collection came from authorized dealers — the Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Omega and Swatch boutiques of midtown Manhattan, and the Bangkok boutiques inside Siam Paragon, Central Embassy, Gaysorn, ICONSIAM, CentralWorld and EmQuartier. Buying at retail across two cities is slower and less glamorous than the grey market, but it is why the box and papers are intact on nearly every piece here.

HOW IT WORKS

Slow, documented, no pressure.

01

Tell me the piece

Message me through the contact page with the reference you are interested in and whether you are looking to buy or trade. I will tell you honestly whether it is available.

 02

Full disclosure

You get the real condition report — service history, box and papers, every scratch photographed. The reviews on this site already say what I dislike about my own watches; I am not going to start pretending now.

 03

Safe handover

In person where possible, at a boutique, a watchmaker, or a bank. Otherwise fully insured and tracked, with escrow for anything significant. No rushing, no deposits into thin air.
WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR

Trades I would consider

  • Vintage Rolex with honest patina and a story attached
  • Independent watchmaking — anything with real finishing
  • Dress watches under 38mm, especially in precious metal
  • Complications I do not own yet: annual calendar, split-seconds

What I will not do

  • Replicas or superclones — there is a whole article about why
  • Anything without provenance I can verify
  • Frankenwatches sold as original
  • Deals that need to happen today — I need one to two weeks’ notice to arrange anything properly
