UAE and India, since 2020
Any watch, found.
We buy, sell, source and authenticate fine watches. There are two of us, and every piece is checked in hand.
Who we are
Two brothers. One in the UAE, one across India. Tell us the watch you have in mind, and one of us goes and finds it.
- Mostly Rolex, then Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Cartier, Franck Muller, Bulgari and Tudor.
- Mostly modern watches, and vintage to brief.
- Price on request, for every piece.
- About the two of us
In hand
Pieces we hold, or have committed to.
How we deal
- You have a figure for that piece, in that condition, before you are asked for anything.
- Settlement terms are agreed in writing before anything moves.
- You are welcome to have your own watchmaker examine a piece before you settle, where that is possible.
What we stand behind
If a piece we sold you is not authentic, we buy it back for the full amount paid. There is no time limit on it.
Not as we described it? Tell us within seven days of delivery, and we refund the amount paid, less shipping.
Hold the light
Every piece is in the hand of one of us before we offer it. Before you settle, your own watchmaker is welcome to examine it too, where that is possible.
The light follows your pointer and stays where you leave it. The arrow keys move it too.Tap the photograph to move the light.
How a watch is found
You tell us the watch.
Send the reference, or describe it in your own words. It goes straight to one of us, in the UAE or in India.
We go and look.
We ask the people we buy from in Dubai, Hong Kong and Europe.
We check it in hand.
One of us has the piece in hand before we offer it. Where a piece calls for more, we bring in a watchmaker or a specialist.
It reaches you.
In Dubai, we hand it to you in person. Anywhere else, we agree with you in writing how it travels.
Authentication, for anyone's watch
Bought from us or somewhere else, we will check your watch and set down what we find on a certificate.
How the certificate works is still being settled.
- For any watch, wherever you bought it.
- A certificate is not an accreditation, and it is not our buy-back guarantee, which covers the pieces we sold.
Selling a watch?
We buy outright when the terms work for both of us, or sell it for you on consignment. Send us the reference and a few photos on WhatsApp.
Questions
Why is there no price on any piece?
Because the honest price of a specific watch depends on its condition, its papers, what comes with it and where it is going, and none of that is settled by a number on a card. Every piece carries Price on Request. You will have a figure, for that piece in that condition, before you are asked for anything.
Who am I actually dealing with?
Two brothers own and run Luxury Drop, one working from the UAE and one from India, and we have been trading since 2020. The person who takes your brief is one of the two owners, and they see it through to the end.
Can I see the watch before I commit?
Yes, over a video call or in person. Suggest a day and a rough time, and we confirm the exact time and a place agreed with you. In Dubai, we can bring it to you.
Can I have it checked by my own watchmaker?
Yes, and we would rather you did. You are welcome to have a piece examined by your own watchmaker before you settle, where that is possible. If they find something we missed, the sale does not go ahead.
How is payment handled?
We agree the terms with you in writing before anything moves: what is being bought, for how much, and on what conditions. Nothing is released, and nothing is expected from you, until that is settled.
How does a piece reach me?
In Dubai, we hand it to you in person. Anywhere else, including India, we arrange with you how it travels before anything is settled — who carries it, what cover is on it, and who holds the risk while it moves. That is agreed in writing, never assumed.
What exactly do you guarantee?
That the watch is what we said it was — the reference, the year, what comes with it, and the condition as described. If a piece is not authentic, we buy it back for the full amount paid, with no time limit on that. On description and condition, the window is 7 days from delivery.
Can you authenticate a watch I did not buy from you?
Yes, wherever you bought it. Send us the reference first, and we agree with you how and where we see it. How the certificate works is still being settled, and it is not the buy-back guarantee, which covers the pieces we sold.
Any watch, found.
Tell us the watch, or describe it in your own words. We reply the same day, most often within a couple of hours.
