Listing rules
What may be listed on watch.bid, what is not allowed, and why listings are rejected.
Allowed
Genuine wristwatches and pocket watches you own, new or pre-owned, plus original straps, boxes and papers sold with a watch.
Not allowed
Replicas, “homage” pieces described as originals, aftermarket-modified watches not described as such, stolen goods, watches you do not have in hand, and anything illegal to sell in India.
Photos
Your own photos of the actual watch: dial, case back, clasp, and any marks. No stock photos. The timestamp photo proves you have the watch today.
Honest description
State service history, replaced parts, polishing, scratches and whether it keeps time. A buyer who was misled can report the listing.
Why ads are rejected
Unclear photos, missing timestamp, prices that look like a scam, contact details in the description, or anything that looks fake. You can edit and resubmit.
