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

Military issued watches from the mid-20th century were commissioned by the Ministry of Defence for pilots and navigators, requiring high precision, readability, and durability under extreme operational conditions.

These watches typically feature robust stainless steel cases, durable acrylic crystals, manual-wind mechanical movements, and high-contrast dials designed for legibility in low-light environments.

Authentic pieces feature official government broad arrow markings, specific reference and serial numbers engraved on the case back, and military specification codes corresponding to service contracts.

Such pieces are typically housed in specialized watch display boxes, stored in safe environments, or paired with period-appropriate straps for occasional wear by collectors.

Preservation requires regular professional servicing, avoiding exposure to moisture and magnetic fields, and careful manual winding to maintain the integrity of vintage mechanical movements.
