The place to sell or swap your watch with fellow Redditors!

#Guidelines for Buyers and Sellers.

Only link posts are allowed! Text posts are not allowed. Thus, the "Text post" option is not available by design.
The wiki has more detailed information that may be useful for first-time buyers/sellers.
Click here to learn how to confirm transactions and get credit for them next to your name (user flair).
new.reddit might allow you to see fuller posts! Especially if you do not see a timestamp, please flip over to new.reddit to check.
We allow only link posts! You will no longer see the option "Submit a new text post."
If we have to remove your posts or comments multiple times for rule violations, you will be subject to a temporary ban. If your rule violation(s) are particularly egregious, you will be permanently banned. Whether you are temporarily or permanently banned is at the moderator's discretion.

##General Selling Rules:

Click here to learn more about the rules. Remember, it is your responsibility to know the rules and abide by them.

Be excellent to each other. More information about this rule is available in the Rules Wiki.
Title formatting. Titles must use the following syntax: [WTS] (Brand) (Model) (Details). Acceptable tags are [WTS], [WTT], and [WTS/WTT]. Noncompliant posts will be removed automatically. Circumventing this format will result in a 7-day ban. More info.
Timestamp. Posts must include a timestamp with your username and the date handwritten on paper and placed under the watch. The timestamp date must be within two weeks of the date of your post. Your timestamp must be the first image if you are using an album OR your timestamp must be separately linked. The watch must be visible. More info.
Price and/or trade value required. Price and/or trade value must be posted on r/Watchexchange. It is recommended to do so in the comments, as post titles cannot be changed. More info.

Reposts are allowed after 7 days. No early reposts for any reason, including price drops. If you list multiple watches at once, you may not repost the others early after one sells. We recommend listing watches separately. Violation of this rule may result in a 7-day ban. More info.
Transaction feedback. For sales from a WTS post, feedback can be left on the originating sales post via the flair bot. For sales from the pinned WTB thread, please make a new [WTS] post that includes “RESERVED” in the title. Your post must follow all of the normal subreddit rules and include a link to the originating [WTB] comment. Flair shall not be granted for sales originating from outside r/watchexchange. Instructions on using the flair system can be found here. Only the buyer and seller may leave feedback. For negative or neutral feedback, you may use r/WatchExchangeFeedback. More info.
No outside sales links, no referral links, and no raffles. You may reference completed eBay listings when discussing price. Referral links of any kind will result in a minimum 7-day ban. Do not link to, discuss, suggest, or otherwise mention raffles. More info.
Price-related comments. Sellers have the right to ask any price. Users who choose to comment on price, be it high, low, or fair, must provide specific examples including links. More info.
Fakes and replicas are not allowed. OEM homages and mods that are substantially based on OEM watches are allowed. If you believe a watch is fake, include proof when commenting. Allegations without evidence may result in a ban. More info.
Giveaways by approval. Please message the moderation team for approval to post a giveaway with the exact text you will use for the giveaway. Giveaway posts require manual approval. More info.
Requirements for participation. Your account must have positive karma and be at least 30 days old to post. More info.

Tip:

Make the best picture of your watch the leading image in your post. Here's how.
Low-effort posts are often removed with no mod comment. If you tried, your post may still get removed but with an explanation.
Have your comment with watch info ready to post as a top-level comment before you submit the post. There is no grace period for posting so your post can be removed right after you post it if all the requirements aren't met.
If you make a mistake posting, do not delete and repost. Message the mods first or you risk having your post removed and having to wait 7 days to repost.
