I agree with this. We had a similar conversation here on one of our Dutch forums. There it was decided to only open up the platform to private sellers. Dealers have their own sales channels.
Also, no point in having the platform flooded with “deals” that are not deals but simply watches offered at market prices. Just my thoughts.
Welcome to the New WatchProSite Marketplace
Fellow collectors, After 25+ years as a trusted community for watch enthusiasts, we're excited to share what we've been building — a proper marketplace right here on WatchProSite. What's new: - Buy Now with confidence — secure payments via PayPal and cred...
Excellent!
Thanks for the hard work in the background. I will try it with my aerospace!
Thanks Bill for the hard work….
In getting this into shape. Quick question - this is only on the website right, not the app?
Thank you very much sir,
for all the hard work you are putting in this beautiful corner of the internet, this is a great addition to an already wonderful place.
Nice!
Were you able to speed anything up using new tools like Claude Code? I've been having so much fun building apps/tooling at our companies with Claude Code.
Absolutely. Layered on top of our proprietary base application.
Using a few others also.
Very cool stuff and lots of work I'm sure...a minor tweak...
...Please link the 'WatchProSite' logo in the upper left back to the main page at www.watchprosite.com
One of those things that we spent time thinking about.
The thinking was to easily get you back fro several layers deep within the market place using the logo to get you to the market home and then we had the forum link. However will give it some extra thinking of how best to make getting back into the forum m...
Yes...I see the 'Forum' now.
...maybe the 'Collector's Market' gets you back to the Market home page and the WPS logo goes to the home page? I've done a few site layouts and there are always too many options : ) But usually, a 'hard convention' is the main logo brings you back to the...
I will get it corrected.
Just got used to the market as the home page of the market for the last couple months beta testing.

Great to hear. Thanks for making this happen!
Selling watches isn't easy. Look forward to have a trusted place to buy, sell, and connect with others here.
We will have the best platform for the best community
It is hard to let go but why not in a community of like minded individuals.
That information about the regulars is already there...
But I agree there should be an indication of whether or not the seller is a dealer. ...

ChetBaker, you raise an excellent point and I appreciate the thoughtful feedback.
You're right that the seller matters enormously, we've always said "buy the seller, not the watch" and that remains a core principle of WatchProSite. The trust and reputation built over 25 years of community interaction is something no algorithm can repla...
