Who We Are

TrustMyWatch is an independent before-buy photo check service for watches listed on online marketplaces such as eBay, Chrono24, Etsy, Vinted and more. With over 10 years of experience, I specialise in evaluating pre-owned and vintage watches based solely on the seller’s listing photos. My goal is simple: help you avoid bad deals, overpriced listings and fake traps when shopping online.

Disclaimer

I focus on Japanese brands, mid-tier Swiss models, microbrands and a wide range of vintage luxury pieces that can be reliably evaluated from photos. Certain modern luxury watches (modern Rolex, Cartier, Breitling, Patek Philippe, Richard Mille, etc.) are excluded due to the rise of extremely high-grade replicas that cannot be assessed without in-person inspection.

TrustMyWatch provides clear, honest and independent visual guidance, so you can make confident purchase decisions before committing to a seller.

TrustMyWatch provides an independent visual expert opinion based solely on the photos you upload.

I am not affiliated with any watch brand or manufacturer, and this service is not an official authentication, certification, appraisal or guarantee of originality.

My assessment is limited by the quality and clarity of the photos provided.

Poor, blurry or incomplete images may reduce accuracy.

Certain modern luxury watches (approx. 2000s–present) cannot be reliably evaluated due to the existence of extremely high-grade superfake replicas.

Only vintage pieces (pre-2000) from these brands are accepted.

By placing an order, you acknowledge and accept these limitations.

Because this is a digital expert service based on time and manual analysis, all orders are final and cannot be cancelled or refunded once the review has begun.

Always buy from trusted sellers and ensure return options whenever possible.
