Before you submit

Questions,
answered.

Is this consignment?

No. Lost Watches only buys watches directly. We do not advertise your watch, take commission or wait for another customer to purchase it.

How does the quote work?

Your quote is based on the information and photographs you submit. If a material difference is found when the watch is received, we contact you before any change is made.

Do I need box and papers?

No. We buy watches with or without their original box and papers. Warranty papers, service records, spare links and accessories can support value when available.

What photographs should I send?

Include the full dial, caseback, both sides of the case, clasp or buckle, bracelet or strap, reference details and any visible wear or damage.

Can I submit from outside Melbourne?

Yes. Start online from anywhere in Australia. After you accept an offer, we confirm the appropriate secure handover arrangements before you send anything.

How quickly do I get paid?

After your accepted watch arrives, we complete routine intake, authentication and paperwork, then initiate payment immediately. Your bank controls when the funds appear.

Authentication condition

Counterfeit and replica watches.

Every watch received by Lost Watches completes routine physical inspection and authentication. If a watch is determined to be counterfeit or a replica, a $280 authentication and handling fee applies. This covers authentication by a watchmaker or specialist, return shipping, processing, administration and secure handling.

We do not purchase counterfeit or stolen watches. Full conditions are set out in our Seller Terms and Conditions.
