How to write a request that finds the right piece

A link beats a description

If you have seen the piece anywhere, on any marketplace, in any country, paste the link. A link resolves to an exact reference immediately, which is what lets a common piece match in minutes rather than days.

The listing does not need to be available, in stock, or even in your country. It only needs to identify the item.

The five details that matter most

Brand and model or reference number. Size or measurements. Color or colorway, using the official name if you know it. Year or production era. And whether you need the box and papers.

You do not need all five to send a request. Each one you can give narrows the search meaningfully, and reference number plus size is usually enough on its own.

Say what you would accept, not just what you want

The lowest condition grade you would genuinely take, and a budget range, are not restrictions. They are what let us stop bringing you the wrong things.

If you would take a B-grade example to save meaningfully, say so, because in Japan that decision frequently doubles the number of pieces available to you.

Tell us what the piece is for

A watch you intend to wear daily and a watch you intend to keep sealed are different searches, even for the same reference. Wear tolerance, service history and completeness matter differently in each case.

One sentence on intended use changes what we bring you more than any other optional detail.

What you do not need to get right

Exact reference numbers, official colorway names and production years are helpful but not required. Approximations are fine, and getting one wrong will not send the search off course. We will confirm the exact reference before anything is bought.
