Strict Dealer Verification

We do not operate as an open marketplace. Every approved dealer undergoes identity verification, business verification, authentication protocols, and compliance reviews before they are permitted to list inventory on Dialist. Only verified dealers can sell through the platform.

Dialist Secure Checkout

Your purchase is protected from the moment payment is made until your watch has been delivered and inspected. Settlement is delayed for 7 days following confirmed delivery, ensuring funds are only released after you've had the opportunity to inspect your timepiece. This additional layer of oversight provides greater security and confidence throughout the transaction.

Authenticity, Without Compromise

Counterfeit, replica, and undisclosed modified watches have no place on Dialist. Every order must be backed by documented authentication evidence before shipment, and every purchase is covered by the Dialist Authenticity Guarantee. You also have 7 days from confirmed delivery to arrange an independent inspection with your preferred watchmaker.

Worldwide Insured Shipping

Every shipment follows strict packaging and handling requirements. High-value shipments are fully insured and require government-issued identification and signature verification upon collection. Whenever available, deliveries are securely held at the nearest FedEx or USPS pickup location rather than being delivered directly to a residential address.

Returns, made simple

A return process built around confidence.

If a watch isn’t right, settlement stays on hold and our team handles every step, from first contact to refund.

01

Contact Dialist Support

Get in touch with a Dialist Support Representative to initiate your return request. Once your request has been received, we guide you through each step and ensure settlement remains on hold while your return is being processed.

02

Document Your Timepiece

Before shipping your watch, take clear photographs or a video of its condition. This helps verify the timepiece remains in the same condition as when it was delivered. Returns may be declined if the watch has been damaged, modified, or otherwise changed.

03

Return Your Watch

Following our shipping instructions, securely return the watch to either the original seller or a designated Dialist Service Centre, depending on the instructions provided by our support team.

04

Receive Your Refund

Once the returned timepiece has been inspected and confirmed to be in the same condition documented in its original authentication report, your refund is processed promptly in accordance with the Dialist Secure Checkout Policy.
