Watch sourcing

Frequently asked questions about watch sourcing

We find the watch you want, new or vintage, at market price and with the peace of mind that a specialist has checked it. These are the most common questions before getting started.

How does watch sourcing work?

It all starts with a phone call. You tell us which watch you are looking for and, as we know the market, we give you the price range for that model. If it suits you, we agree on the conditions (year, condition, box and papers…) and start searching. When we find options that meet what we agreed, we show them to you in photos or video.

Does the search cost anything?

No. We give you a market price for the watch you are looking for, and that price includes everything: the search, the inspection in our workshop and the warranty. There are no extra fees.

Do I need to leave a deposit to start?

Yes. Once the conditions and the price range are agreed, we ask for a reservation of 10 to 15% of the agreed budget as a commitment to the search. For example, for a €6,000 watch it would be around €600. This allows us to act quickly and secure the watch as soon as it appears, before other buyers.

How long does it take to find the watch?

It depends on the model. Usually between one week and three months, and we have found some pieces overnight. If we see that a watch is very hard to find, we tell you from the start and give you a realistic timeframe.

Do I have to buy the watch you propose?

We only propose watches that we have screened beforehand and that meet the agreed conditions: if a piece is not in the right condition, we do not even show it to you. If the option we send you does not convince you, we look at the reason and keep searching.

What happens to the deposit if you don't find the watch or if I change my mind?
  • If we cannot find the watch, we refund the full deposit.
  • If the option we propose does not meet what we agreed, we keep searching and the deposit remains.
  • If you decide to change model, we cancel that search and start looking for the new watch with the same deposit.
  • If you no longer want any watch, the deposit is not refunded: it covers the search work already done.
Can I ask for a specific year, condition or box and papers?

Of course. We define those details at the start of the search, in the first call, together with the price range. We look for current models as well as discontinued and vintage references.

When do I pay for the watch and how is it delivered?

You pay for the watch once it is in our shop, inspected and ready to be delivered. When it arrives we check it and usually service it in our workshop; if you ask, we can also polish it. You can collect it at Passeig de Gràcia or we ship it insured throughout Spain and abroad.

What warranty does a sourced watch have?

The same as any watch in our shop: a 12-month warranty. We also keep supporting you afterwards with our technical service, including outside the warranty.
