Serial-first search

Use StolenWatch when the serial number is the starting point and you need a clean answer fast.

Buyer proof

Use the search result as documentation before purchase, resale, or insurance steps.

Mobile-friendly flow

Keep the verification path short so a buyer can check a watch in the shop or at the table.

When to use StolenWatch, Enquirus, or both

Choose the workflow around the evidence you have and the decision you need to make. A buyer with a visible serial number needs a fast theft check before payment. An owner may also want a document vault and a broader record for watches or jewellery. Using more than one service can add coverage, but duplicate searches do not replace seller checks, ownership documents, or physical authentication.

Use StolenWatch for transaction due diligence

Start here when a watch serial number is available and the immediate question is whether it matches a reported stolen-watch record. Record the exact serial, run the search before funds move, retain the dated result, and investigate any mismatch or alert.

Use a vault for long-term ownership records

A document-focused service is useful for preserving invoices, warranty cards, valuations, photographs, service records, and other ownership evidence. Keep originals securely as well, and update records after servicing, sale, loss, or recovery.

Service features and policies can change. Confirm current coverage and terms directly with each provider before relying on a result for a purchase, insurance claim, or recovery action.

What is Enquirus?

Enquirus is a free lost and stolen watch and jewellery database with a document vault, theft reporting, and search tools for buyers and owners.

When should I use StolenWatch instead?

Use StolenWatch when your main goal is a fast serial-number lookup for a pre-owned luxury watch, especially before buying or selling.

Can I use both services?

Yes. Many owners use one service for search and another for reporting or document storage, but StolenWatch is built to answer the theft-check question first.

Do you support Rolex serial number checks?

Yes. Rolex, Cartier, Omega, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, and 50+ brands can be checked on StolenWatch.
