Loss registration
Register a Lost or Stolen Watch
Add your watch to the database so its serial number can be checked by buyers, collectors, dealers, pawn shops, and marketplaces.
Make the watch discoverable
A report creates a searchable record connected to the watch's identifying details, making it harder for a stolen piece to move unnoticed.
Use accurate identifiers
The most important field is the serial number. Include the exact brand, model, case reference, photos, and ownership documents where possible.
Help future buyers avoid risk
Many stolen watches surface later through private sales, pawn shops, online marketplaces, or trades. A searchable record helps buyers stop the chain.
Practical checklist

Frequently asked questions
Is registering different from reporting?
In practice, both create a database record. Reporting focuses on the theft event, while registration focuses on the searchable watch record.
Can lost watches be registered too?
Yes. Lost watches can also be added so future holders can identify a record and contact the owner or platform.
Can someone abuse the database?
Reports should be accurate and supported by ownership details. False reports may be removed and can create legal risk for the submitter.
