Frequently Asked Questions

Submitting A Watch

What is Doublewrist?

Doublewrist is the world’s premier online watch auction platform. Our goal is to bring curated pieces direct-to-market, from seller to buyer, in a user-friendly format for the watch enthusiast community. We aim to bring the watch market into the 21st century!

How does a Doublewrist auction work?

All Doublewrist auctions take place over a seven-day period. With comment threads accompanying each listing, buyers and members of the community are welcomed to actively participate in the sale by asking questions and making comments.

How do I submit my watch?

Submitting your watch is easy. Fill out a brief form and provide photos for our specialists to review over a 48-hour period.

How much is the seller’s fee?

Seller pays a $50* flat fee per watch. That’s it.

What is a “reserve price”?

The reserve price is the minimum bid you would accept for your watch. You have the option of setting the reserve price at any level you like. If you have trouble knowing what a good reserve price would be for your watch, Doublewrist specialists are here to assist.

What is “no reserve”?

No reserve means there is no minimum price for your watch. Although listing your watch at no reserve might seem risky, in our experience this usually attracts more bidding and action. In addition, Doublewrist highlights no reserve auctions with its own tab on the website.

What if my watch does not meet reserve price?

If a seller’s watch does not meet the reserve price, Doublewrist’s policy is to allow the seller to run a second 7-day auction once at no fee. However, Doublewrist specialists may ask seller to lower the reserve price for the repeat auction.

How do I bid?

Registration is required to bid on Doublewrist. To prevent fraudulent bidding, a 5% hold is placed on the registered credit card upon placing a bid, minimum $100. The hold is released should you be outbid. With every bid you will be charged 5% of the bid, and every time you are outbid, each hold will be released within a short period of time. This way, the bidder will not be burdened with multiple holds on a credit card. Doublewrist encourages you to read listings in their entirety and review photos carefully before placing a bid.

Can you wait until the last minute to make a bid, as a strategy to win an auction?

In the last two minutes of an auction, Doublewrist protects against end-of-sale sniping by automatically extending the auction for an additional two-minutes after each bid. This ensures no one is outbid with seconds to spare.

How much is the buyer's fee?

Buyer pays 5% on top of winning bid, capped at $10,000. For example, a $20,000 winning bid pays $1000. Any winning bid over $200,000 pays no more than $10,000 buyer fee. Minimum buyer’s fee is $100, which is also minimum credit card hold per bid.

What happens after the auction ends?

Once an auction ends and the reserve is met, Doublewrist will put the seller and auction winner in touch by releasing contact information for each party. It is then the responsibility of the two parties to arrange payment and shipment methods. Doublewrist specialists are happy to assist with the transaction by recommending payment and shipping options.

How do I know if reserve has been met?

For auctions with reserve price, the latest bid amount in a live auction will turn from black to red color to indicate reserve has been met.
