The Palm Beach Watch Club is not involved with watch sales or watch trading.

The Palm Beach Watch Club is a social organization, not a retailer or broker. While members are free to network, the Club is never a party to any transaction. We do not hold inventory, we do not take commissions, and we do not verify the authenticity of any items. All member-to-member interactions are performed at the members' sole risk and discretion.

While private discussions between members may occur, formal sales or solicitation are not the focus of the club, however we realize it is a natural part of collecting. Respectful conduct is expected, and all interactions should prioritize relationships over transactions.
