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

Wristwatches from the 1960s are known for slim case profiles, minimalist dial designs, and reliable manual-wind mechanical movements. Mid-century Swiss horology emphasized functional elegance, clean typography, and precise engineering.

Gold-filled watch cases consist of a solid layer of gold mechanically bonded to a base metal core, offering greater durability and thickness than electroplating. Dials were typically painted or silvered brass, paired with acrylic crystals and leather straps.

Authentic pieces feature correct reference numbers stamped inside the case back, movement serial numbers matching manufacture dates, properly branded crowns, and crisp dial text proportional to the calibre model.

A classic mid-century gold dress watch pairs seamlessly with modern formal attire, tailored suits, or smart-casual leather accessories, offering understated sophistication without excessive bulk.

Avoid exposure to moisture, magnetic fields, and impact. Have mechanical movements serviced by a qualified horologist every three to five years to ensure proper lubrication and accuracy.
