I'm Max. I started buying watches because I loved them, and I keep buying and selling because the hobby never really lets go. Everything I list passes through my own hands first.
I'm an independent collector and reseller — not an authorized dealer, and not affiliated with or endorsed by any manufacturer. That independence is the point: I have no quota to hit and no brand to please. I sell pieces I'd be happy to own, and I describe them the way I'd want one described to me.
If a watch has a mark, a service note, or a missing box, you'll read about it before you ever send a payment. No stock photos, no polishing the truth, no pressure.
How a piece reaches you
Sourced & inspected
Each watch is bought, opened where appropriate, and checked by me before it's ever offered for sale.
Honestly documented
Real photographs of the actual watch, an honest condition grade, and any known service history — shared in full.
Shipped & insured
Secure, fully insured shipping with tracking. You inspect the piece on arrival before anything is final.
Every watch here is pre-owned
All items are used / pre-owned timepieces. None are sold as new. Expect signs of prior wear consistent with age and use.
Each listing carries an honest condition description and the actual photos of that specific watch — never stock or representative images.
Pieces are checked for authenticity to the best of my ability. Where independent verification is requested, I'll support it.
Known service history and what's included (box, papers, links) is stated in the listing. If something's missing, I'll say so.
MaxWatches is independent and not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by Audemars Piguet, Rolex, Patek Philippe or any manufacturer.
Want more photos, measurements, or a video before buying? Ask. I'd rather answer ten questions than ship a surprise.
If it isn't as described, send it back
Three-day inspection
You have 3 calendar days from delivery to inspect the watch and confirm it matches the description and photos provided.
Not as described = full refund
If a piece is materially different from how it was described, notify me within the window for a full refund once it's returned and received.
Return condition
Returns must come back unworn beyond inspection, undamaged, and complete with everything that was included. Worn or altered pieces aren't eligible.
Shipping & refunds
For not-as-described returns I cover return shipping. For change-of-mind, buyer covers insured return shipping. Refunds are issued within 5 business days of receipt.
Note — this is a summary of the standard policy. The exact terms confirmed at the time of sale (in writing) govern each transaction. Adjust figures to your own terms before going live.
Ask about a piece,
or just say hello.
Tell me what you're looking for, or ask about anything currently available. I usually reply the same day.
