Your Next Timepiece Awaits — Let Us Source It.
Whether it's a specific reference, rare variant, or limited edition, our sourcing service connects you with the watches you want. Backed by expertise, transparency, and a commitment to your satisfaction.
How Our Sourcing Process Works
Road and Wrist's sourcing service connects you with watches that aren't publicly available—from authorized dealer waitlist models to rare vintage references found only through private networks. Here's the complete process:
Step 1: Submit Your Request
Use the form below to tell us exactly what you're looking for: brand, model, reference number, condition requirements (new, excellent, vintage), budget range, and timeline. The more specific you are, the faster we can locate your watch. Include preferences like dial color, bracelet type, or must-have features (box and papers, specific production year, etc.).
Step 2: We Search Our Network
We contact trusted dealers, private collectors, and auction houses worldwide. Our network includes connections not accessible to the public—dealer inventory before public listing, collector pieces not actively for sale, and auction previews. Most requests are fulfilled within 1-2 weeks, though rare or highly specific references may take longer.
Step 3: Authentication and Approval
When we locate a matching watch, we authenticate it thoroughly before presenting it to you. You'll receive detailed photos, condition reports, provenance information (if available), and transparent pricing including our service fee. We explain what we found, where it came from, and why we believe it matches your requirements. You approve before we proceed—no surprises, no pressure.
Step 4: Secure Transaction
Once you approve the watch and pricing, we handle payment to the seller, coordinate authentication if not already completed, arrange fully insured FedEx Overnight shipping (domestic) or secure international delivery, and provide tracking information so you can monitor your watch's journey in real-time.
Step 5: Delivery and Satisfaction
Your watch arrives authenticated, documented, and exactly as described. We include any available paperwork (original receipt, service records, provenance documentation) and stand behind every sourced watch with our authenticity guarantee. If you have any concerns upon receipt, contact us immediately—we're here to ensure complete satisfaction.
Why Source with Road and Wrist
Luxury watch sourcing requires industry connections, authentication expertise, and transaction security. Road and Wrist provides all three—plus transparency you won't find elsewhere.
Access to Private Networks
We tap into dealer connections and collector circles not accessible to the public. Many of the best watches never reach public listings—they're sold through private networks before anyone else knows they're available. Our relationships give you access to inventory you'd never find on your own.
Authentication Guarantee
Every sourced watch undergoes thorough authentication before we present it to you. We inspect serial numbers, movement authenticity, dial originality, case construction, and compare against known authentic examples. You receive documentation of our authentication process, and every watch is backed by our money-back authenticity guarantee.
Transparent Pricing
You'll see exactly what we're paying for the watch and what our service fee covers. No hidden markups, no vague "market price" explanations. We explain where the watch came from, what it cost, and how we arrived at the final price you pay.
Secure Transactions
We handle payment to the seller, eliminating risk of fraud, chargebacks, or payment complications. We coordinate insured shipping, track the watch throughout transit, and ensure it arrives exactly as described. You're protected from the risks that come with private purchases.
Expert Guidance
Not sure which reference number you want? Uncertain about condition expectations for vintage pieces? We provide honest guidance throughout the process. If we locate a watch that doesn't quite match your requirements, we'll tell you why and keep searching rather than pressuring you to compromise.
No Upfront Fees
You pay nothing until we successfully locate your watch and you approve the purchase. Our service fee is included in the final price—disclosed transparently before you commit.
