Where to Buy Watches - 3 Most Trusted Sites
Buying watches online sounds amazing, but until you’re actually ready to pull the trigger it can be a little nerve-racking. Between fake watches, broken watches, and just straight up not receiving a watch at all… that can be a challenge. Today I am going to show you the 3 BEST and most trusted places to buy watches on the internet, so that you can make a comfortable decision in where your money goes.
I endorse all of these platforms, so you have nothing to worry about.
Vintage - Wind Vintage
Eric Wind Founder of Wind Vintage
For vintage, I can only recommend Wind Vintage. Eric has been collecting vintage watches for decades, and is the world’s most important expert on vintage watches and specifically vintage Rolex. He has extremely high-end clientele, from celebrities to multi-millionaire business owners.
Eric has been featured in many online publications including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and gives lectures at the Horological Society of New York.
Vintage can get hairy has there are watches with service parts (not desirable), and some vintage fake watches that 95% of people can’t tell the difference. Eric is the number one person, and I could not recommend Wind Vintage enough.
Modern Watches
For Modern Watches there are two sites that collectors use frequently.
The first being Bezel. The company was founded mid-2022, but its watch experts have been in the business for decades. They prioritize authentication and service more than any watch marketplace platform on the planet. From their concierge service, to design, to transparency, I have loved personally buying from them since they started.
Bezel is also funded by many high profile celebrities and collectors like Kevin Hart, Kyle Kuzma, Michael Rubin, as well as institutional money that has worked with some of the biggest startups on the planet.
Buying from Bezel is just a way to give yourself piece of mind. If you want to feel totally comfortable that you are receiving an authentic watch, I would buy from them.

Founded in 1999, Bob’s is one of the leading marketplaces on the internet to buy watches. You can buy pretty much any high end brand you can think of, including Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, etc.
Paul Altieri, Founder and CEO of Bob’s, is an extremely well connected individual in the industry. The primary goal when he founded the company was the create “a trust source to buy and sell pre-owned Rolex watches”. He has done that and more with his site.
I have personally NOT bought from Bob’s, but I feel comfortable including them in this list because of their time in the business, transparency with buyers and sellers, and more importantly their reputation all over the industry.
