How It Works
Whether you are buying a pre-owned watch or registering a theft, our process is designed to be fast and straightforward.
Checking a Watch
Locate the Serial Number
Find the serial number on the watch case, movement, or original documentation. It is usually engraved between the lugs or on the case back. Check our brand-specific guide if you need help.
Enter it Into Our Search Tool
Type the serial number into our free search tool on the Check a Watch page. You can optionally specify the brand to narrow results. No account is required for a basic check.
We Search 120,000+ Records
Our system instantly cross-references your query against every report in our global database — stolen, lost, and counterfeit watches from police reports, insurers, dealers, and private owners worldwide.
Receive Your Result
Within seconds you receive a Clear, Flagged, or Under Review result. A free result tells you whether any record exists. A full verified certificate is available with a paid plan.
Registering a Loss
Create a Free Account
Sign up for a free account. You will need your email address and to verify your identity. Registration takes less than 2 minutes.
Enter Your Watch Details
Provide the brand, model, reference number, serial number, and a description including any distinctive features, scratches or modifications.
Upload Supporting Documents
Attach a copy of your police report number, insurance policy reference, or purchase receipt where available. These strengthen your registration.
Your Watch is Live Globally
Your registration appears in our database immediately. Every search performed by a dealer, auction house, pawnbroker, or private buyer will flag your watch. You receive an alert the moment a match is found.
