Site Improvements

We'd like to give you more information about the improvements we're currently working on. Outlined below are some of the most significant changes, many of which are based on your feedback.

Buyer Login -

Buyers will no longer be required to login or register in order to send messages to sellers or purchase watches via PayPal. All buyer accounts will be disabled while we trial this, if the change becomes permanent then there will be no need for an account anyway.

Watch Hunter -

This feature will be a new page where users can input their email and the details of a watch - the system will then email them once the watch they are looking for has been found.

Page Layout -

All pages on the site will become shorter and more focussed to the needs of the user. The search results pages will load faster and show only relevant information. The watch information pages (the individual page for each listed watch) will be streamlined and the box giving the watch's description greatly enlarged. Where categories are not available (e.g. 'year of manufacture:') they will simply not appear rather than take up space.

Searching -

The 'advanced search' is to become more focussed in response to your feedback. The 'quick search' will be made much faster and more accurate - you will be able to input a model name, brand name or exact reference number and find what you're looking for very quickly. It will also be easier to refine your search by, for example, adding extra parameters or changing the sort order.

Shop by Brand -

There will be new options to make shopping by brand easier should you be looking for a particular make. This will take the place of the current 'gallery' feature.

Contacting the Seller -

As mentioned above there will be no need to login to do this. Users will be able to contact the seller of a watch easily via a form on the watch listing page. This form will be accessible by a tab at the top of the page.

We are making many other changes to the site over the coming weeks, each one is aimed at making the site a thriving online community and facilitating the buying and selling of watches.

Check back soon for updates on the progress of the these changes.
