All too often, buying vintage watches online is a crapshoot. Fakes and frankenwatches mean it’s that much harder to pull the trigger on a luxury watch. Does it match the photo? Is it genuine or a clever ruse that’ll cost you your investment?

With eBay’s luxury watch Authenticity Guarantee, you’ll never have to worry about any of the aforementioned issues. Watches over £2,000 with the “Authenticity Guarantee” badge go through a meticulous authentication process. eBay uses third-party authenticators, who physically inspect each watch to ensure it’s the real mccoy. They do this at no extra cost to you. And now UK buyers can look out for the Authenticity Guarantee badge on watches for sale, too.

So, what’re you waiting for? Here are some notable luxury watches worth shopping on eBay.

Rolex Submariner

The king of luxury watches deserves (and frankly, needs) an authentication process. There are just so many fakes out there. But a Rolex Submariner is the king of dive watches for a reason. It’s a standard-setter, and has been since it was introduced in 1953. If you’re looking for a Rolex Sub, you can expect the real thing on eBay.

Patek Philippe Nautilus

Want to score a Nautilus? eBay’s third-party authenticators don’t just make sure the watch is legit — they double-check that it matches the original listing for the watch. Owning a Patek Phillipe watch is something many watch enthusiasts aspire too, and the Nautilus is one of the brand’s most iconic models. The design, conceived by the famous watch designer Gerald Genta, was first released in 1976 and remains one of Patek’s most sought-after models.

IWC Portugieser Moonphase

IWC, or International Watch Company, was founded by American F.A. Jones in Schaffhausen in 1868. While the Portugieser wasn’t introduced until the 1930s, it quickly became one of the brand’s most recognizable and popular timepieces. Today, the Portugieser line offers a variety of submodels, including a gorgeous gold moonphase complication. And if you shop for one on eBay, you can be sure you’re buying the IWC watch that you fell in love with.

TAG Heuer Autavia

Today, the Autavia, first introduced by Heuer in 1962 as a “wrist chronograph”, is one of the finest vintage chronographs that money can buy. Its styling is utterly timeless, and if you’re lucky enough to score a “panda dialed” version, just hang onto it. Pass it down from generation to generation and keep it in good working order — just make sure you buy an authentic one from eBay. Would be a shame to pass down a fake watch for generations.

Bremont Supermarine

And it’s not just the Swiss watches that are offered with an Authenticity Guarantee — British favorites like Bremont benefit from the service, too. The Supermarine, with its distinctive crown at the two o’clock position, features a simple and unfettered dial that is sure to match with just about everything in your wardrobe. Whether you’re desk diving or actually diving, the Bremont of your dreams just got a lot easier to get your hands on, and a lot more affordable, too.
