About us
Two people, and everything that follows from that.
Luxury Drop finds watches. Modern and vintage, to brief, through a network of suppliers across Dubai, Hong Kong and Europe. Two brothers, one in the UAE and one in India, and every piece offered on request.
Small, on purpose.
You deal with one of us from start to finish. Nobody answers on our behalf, and we can turn down a piece without asking anyone’s permission.
We are two brothers. One of us works from the UAE, the other from India, and we have been trading watches since 2020. Between us we buy, we sell, and we answer our own messages.
We are self-taught. What we know comes from doing this every day since then — buying, sometimes getting it wrong, and paying for it ourselves. It is also why we invite you to have a piece checked by your own watchmaker, rather than asking you to trust a certificate we wrote.
We do not keep an office. When it makes sense to meet in person, we agree a place for that meeting with you. Most of the time a video call does the job, and nobody has to travel.
Our names are not on this page yet. That is our choice for now, and it may change. In the meantime, whatever you ask, one of the two of us answers it.

Every line here is a fact we stand behind. If we cannot say something yet, we leave it out rather than round it up.
The four things we do.
Our tagline is the business — any watch, found. Everything else follows from one person asking us for one particular piece.
- Finding a piece
- Name a reference or describe the watch, and we go and look for it. Mostly modern, and more Rolex than anything else. Vintage is found to brief rather than kept waiting in a drawer.
- Selling what we hold
- Pieces we have bought and own outright. Every one is offered on request, and the terms are discussed once we know which piece and which market it is going to.
- Buying from you
- We buy outright where the deal is a good one. Photographs, the papers status and your own reading of the condition are enough to start.
- Selling on your behalf
- You can leave a piece with us to sell. What we take, how long we hold it and who carries the risk while we do are agreed in writing before it leaves you.
Everything a room would have told you.
There is no room to walk into, so we do each of these things another way. Here is how.
- Seeing the piece
- On a video call, with the watch in one of our hands and the camera wherever you want it. In person, at a place we agree for that meeting. Or, in Dubai, brought to you by hand.
- Knowing what it is
- One of us has the piece in hand, or is in the room with it at the supplier, before it is offered to anyone. Where a piece calls for more than that, we bring in a watchmaker or a specialist we work with.
- Checking our word
- Nominate your own watchmaker. Either the piece goes to them before anything is settled, or they join the video call. If they find something we missed, the sale does not go ahead.
- Agreeing the money
- We agree the terms with you in writing before anything moves: what is being bought, for how much, and on what conditions. We ask for nothing until that is settled.
- Getting it to you
- In Dubai, we bring it to you ourselves. Anywhere else, we agree the carrier, the cover and who carries the risk with you in writing before anything moves.
- If we got it wrong
- 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 you have 7 days from delivery, and the piece comes back for the amount paid, less shipping.
None of that is unusual in this trade. Writing it down, and being held to it, is the part that is.
UAE and India. One list.
A piece found in the UAE can go to a client in India just as easily, and the other way round. We share one list between us, and neither of us has an address to come to.
UAE
- Meeting
- By arrangement, at a place agreed with you, or on a video call, which needs no travel at either end.
- Delivery
- By hand in Dubai. Anywhere else, we agree with you in writing how the piece travels, before anything moves.
India
- Meeting
- By arrangement, at a place agreed with you, or on a video call, which needs no travel at either end.
- Delivery
- We agree with you in writing how the piece reaches you, before anything moves.
Two brothers, and nobody else.
Whichever of us picks up your message stays with you to the end. You are never passed on to anyone else.
No names on the site, for now.
We would rather you judge us by how we describe a piece, how quickly we answer, and how we put things right. Ask us anything, and one of the two of us will answer.
