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.

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

Military issued pocket watches were standard-issue equipment for armed forces personnel, specifically utilised for navigation, synchronisation, and tactical operations during active service.

These watches typically featured robust metal cases made from nickel-chromium, stainless steel, or silver alloy, paired with durable glass or acrylic crystals to withstand harsh field conditions.

Authentic pieces usually bear official government broad arrow markings, specific military department codes (such as HS for Hydrographic Survey or Royal Navy), and serial numbers engraved on the case back.

They can be displayed in glass top display cases, mounted in shadow boxes, or placed upon collector stands within a study or library setting.

Keep mechanical watches away from moisture and extreme temperature fluctuations, store them in a secure environment, and have them serviced periodically by a professional horologist.
