Join the 999WATCHES Private Club

We’re all here to build strong, long-term trade relationships among watch dealers and industry professionals! Checking references before a deal is standard professional courtesy that keeps our trading environment safe and comfortable for everyone. If you’re trading with a new member or dealer, feel free to ask for references or work together to find mutually agreeable terms.

Once a deal on a timepiece is locked or an inquiry is made, keep communication active. Ghosting counterparties, delaying payment or shipment without agreement, or acting unprofessionally degrades trust and will result in warnings or bans.

Club administration does not manage logistics, facilitate payments, or serve as default escrow. All counterparty vetting, watch authenticity verification, and reference checks are your sole responsibility prior to sending funds or shipping items.

Every listing must include a clear and accurate description: brand, model reference, case/bezel condition, scratches, missing links, dial flaws, serial number visibility, and included scope of delivery (box, papers, card, warranty). Vague posts or listings without detailed photos will be declined. If a timepiece received substantially differs from the description, the seller must accept a return.

Any confirmation of purchase or sale—whether made publicly in the comments ("Sold", "Mine", "Claimed", etc.) or privately via direct messages (DMs)—officially locks the deal within the club. Backing out, attempting to backchannel sell reserved watches for more money, or failing to honor agreed terms is prohibited and leads directly to removal from the club.

When posting a Want to Buy (WTB / ISO) request, clearly state your exact requirements (brand, reference number, condition, dial color, complete set vs. watch only, budget). Creating WTB posts strictly to "fish" for market valuations on timepieces is not allowed—only post if you are actively prepared to make a purchase.

Offering your own watches for sale in the comments of another seller's For Sale (FS) listing is strictly prohibited. If you want to sell your inventory, create your own post.

Replicas, counterfeit timepieces, fake cases/bracelets, or unofficial aftermarket parts passed off as original are strictly banned. Only authentic luxury watches and genuine parts (both brand new and pre-owned) are permitted in this club. Any aftermarket modifications must be explicitly disclosed.

If running a watch auction, you must clearly state starting price, bid increments, and end time in advance. Both top bidder and seller are required to complete the trade on final terms. Canceling auction results without valid justification is grounds for immediate removal.

Client poaching, spamming, backing out of commitments, harvesting member data for external groups, or any attempt to scam will result in an immediate, permanent ban across all 999 platforms without exception.
