Owner action
Report a Stolen Watch
If your watch was stolen, record the details quickly so buyers, dealers, and recovery partners have a better chance of identifying it.
Report early
The sooner a serial number is recorded, the sooner future buyers and dealers can discover the report during due diligence.
What information helps
Brand, model, serial number, photos, location, incident date, police report details, and proof of ownership all make the report more useful.
Keep your records
Store police reports, insurance documents, purchase receipts, and listing screenshots. These records can help if the watch appears later.
