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

Developed primarily during the 1930s and 1940s, triple date chronographs combined stopwatch functionality with calendar displays showing the day, month, and date. They were engineered for pilots, military personnel, and professionals requiring precise multi-function timekeeping.

Mid-20th-century wristwatches typically featured gold, gold-filled, or stainless steel cases housing mechanical hand-wound movements. Dials were composed of printed metal with acrylic or glass crystals overhead and fitted with genuine leather straps.

Authentic pieces exhibit clear brand signatures on the dial, inside case back, and movement bridges. Markings should match known manufacturer typography, with appropriate Swiss hallmarking, reference numbers, and period-correct register alignments.

A vintage chronograph serves as a functional personal accessory paired with modern formal tailoring or smart casual attire. When not worn, it is typically displayed atop a leather valet tray, dresser, or inside a velvet-lined watch box.

Mechanical watches require servicing by a qualified horologist every three to five years to clean and lubricate the movement. Moisture exposure, high humidity, and strong magnetic fields must be avoided to protect the internal components and dial.
