About Us & Authenticity Guarantee
About The Classic Watch Buyers Club
Who We Are
The Classic Watch Buyers Club Ltd is an Aberdeen-based specialist in pre-owned and classic luxury timepieces. Founded on a passion for horology and a commitment to honest, knowledgeable dealing, we exist to connect discerning buyers with watches that are genuine, fairly priced, and accurately described.
We are not a high-street chain or a faceless marketplace. We are watch enthusiasts who understand that buying a pre-owned luxury watch is a significant decision — and we take that responsibility seriously.
Our Authenticity Guarantee
Every watch we sell is personally sourced, inspected, and verified before it is listed. We do not list watches we have not physically examined.
How we source our watches:
- Direct purchases from private collectors and estates
- Established relationships with trusted dealers and auction houses
- Careful vetting of provenance and ownership history where available
How we verify authenticity:
- Physical inspection of case, dial, hands, crown, and movement where accessible
- Cross-referencing serial numbers against known manufacturer records
- Identification of correct period-accurate components for the reference
- Rejection of any piece showing signs of undisclosed modification or counterfeit parts
- Watches are checked against all stolen/lost registers
If we have any doubt about a watch's authenticity, we do not sell it. It is that simple.
Condition Grading Standards
We grade every watch honestly, using the following scale:
- Mint / Unworn — No signs of wear. May be old stock or lightly stored. Original finish throughout.
- Excellent — Light signs of age or handling only. No significant scratches or marks. May show minor patina consistent with age.
- Very Good — Some light surface wear consistent with careful use. No deep scratches or damage. Fully functional.
- Good — Visible wear and minor marks consistent with regular use. Honest condition for age. Fully functional.
- Fair / Project — Clearly stated cosmetic issues or incomplete components. Priced accordingly. Always disclosed in full.
All condition notes in our listings reflect our honest assessment. We include detailed photographs and will provide additional images on request.
