Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Introduced in 1948, the Omega Seamaster was initially inspired by waterproof wristwatches made for the British military during World War II, evolving into a sophisticated civilian dress and sports watch by the 1950s.

These watches typically featured stainless steel or gold-capped cases, acrylic crystals, leather straps, and high-grade in-house automatic mechanical movements such as the calibre 501.

Authentication relies on matching serial numbers on the movement and case back, verifying correct dial typography, and ensuring the movement calibre corresponds accurately to the production era.

A mid-century dress watch complements tailored suiting, smart-casual blazers, and minimalist wardrobes, pairing well with leather accessories that match the watch strap.

Vintage mechanical timepieces require regular servicing every three to five years by a qualified horologist, protection from moisture and magnetic fields, and careful manual setting to preserve internal components.
