"Before buying, I checked the seller's profile: 4.9/5 and more than 30 successful sales. That changes everything — I could decide without stress."
Antoine R.

"The suggested price when posting stopped me undervaluing my watch. It sold in under a week, at the right price."

Seller, Speedmaster
"Tracking the value of my collection from the dashboard over time is a real plus for an enthusiast. You don't find that anywhere else."

All exchanges go through the Coin des Montres internal messaging. There's no need to share your phone number or email address — your privacy is preserved from first contact through to the completed sale. Once an agreement is reached, buyer and seller freely settle the payment and handover arrangements.
It's a weighted average of the ratings left by previous buyers and sellers, plus a seniority bonus. The more positive transactions a member completes, the higher their score and level (Beginner, Established, Expert, Top Seller).
Our price reference is based on average prices observed on the second-hand market for each brand and model. It is updated regularly and is the basis for the price suggestion when posting a listing.
Creating an account is required to post a listing. An account verified with an identity document earns you the “Identity verified” badge, strengthening buyers' confidence in your profile. Without verification you can still publish listings and talk freely with buyers through the internal messaging.
Posting and managing your listings is entirely free. Coin des Montres takes no commission on your sales. You may, however, choose to boost a listing to feature it and gain visibility with buyers.
