Last updated September 22, 2026

01Using this site

Using modawatches.com.

By using this site, you agree to these terms along with our privacy policy and returns policy. Those pages have the actual policies we operate under.

02Listings, prices and availability

What's shown can sell.

Watches shown on the catalog are described as accurately as we can on each listing, and any of them can sell at any time. If a watch you're interested in has already sold, we'll tell you.

03How buying works

Text us, no cart.

There's no cart on this site. Text us about a watch and we'll tell you where it stands: whether it's still available, what we can do on price, and anything the photos don't show. We'd rather talk to you before money moves.

We'll confirm payment details with you by text before anything is sent.

Sales are final except in one situation. See our returns policy for exactly what that means.

04Selling to MODA

Offer, ship, get paid.

  • 01Send us your watch's brand, model and condition through the form or by text.
  • 02We reply with a real offer within hours, no fee and no obligation to accept.
  • 03Accept, and we send a fully insured overnight shipping label.
  • 04Once your watch arrives and passes inspection, we pay within 24 hours by wire, e-check, or Zelle for smaller amounts.
05Auctions and consignment

Flat, transparent fees.

Consignment fees are 4% on watches valued over $10,000, with a $750 minimum, or a flat $500 under $10,000. That fee covers inspection, photography, writing the listing, running the auction, answering buyer questions, coordinating payment, and shipping the watch out when it sells. See how auctions work and our returns policy for what happens if a buyer's watch doesn't match its listing.

06Serial checks

What a clean serial means.

A serial check runs your watch's serial number through the brand's own manufacturer database and returns the factory record and any stolen report. A clean serial only confirms the number was issued, it does not confirm that the watch in front of you is the one that serial belongs to. That's why we also recommend a physical inspection alongside any serial check. Serial check fees are non-refundable.

07Appraisals

$50 flat, signed, remote.

MODA prepares a signed insurance appraisal for a flat $50 per watch, handled entirely remotely and delivered within hours. The certificate is valid for two years, per standard insurance practice. The appraisal fee is non-refundable.

08Not affiliated with any brand

Independent dealer.

MODA Watches is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with Rolex SA, Tudor, Audemars Piguet, or any other watch brand referenced on this website. All brand names and trademarks are the property of their respective owners and used for identification purposes only.

09Liability and governing law

Legal boilerplate.

MODA Watches is operated by SNJ Mode LLC. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Dakota.

The content on this site is provided as-is, for general information. To the extent the law allows, SNJ Mode LLC isn't liable for indirect or consequential losses from using the site. Nothing here limits any obligation we've taken on in a specific deal, like the misrepresentation remedy in our returns policy, or anything the law doesn't allow us to limit.
