MEET THE FOUNDER
I’m Brad Purdy, The founder of Wrist Works.
Like many collectors, my passion for watches started long before the business itself. What began as a genuine interest in luxury timepieces, market trends, and collecting quickly evolved into building Wrist Works — a business focused on making the buying, selling, trading, and sourcing process more transparent and straightforward for clients across Australia.
From the beginning, the goal was never to become just another online watch dealer. Wrist Works was built around trust, long-term relationships, and providing a more personal experience within an industry that can often feel transactional and uncertain.
As both an enthusiast and dealer, I understand the importance of confidence when purchasing a luxury watch. Whether it is your first piece, a watch to mark an important milestone, or your next addition to the collection, every purchase should feel exciting, secure, and professionally handled.
Today, Wrist Works works with collectors and clients Australia-wide, offering carefully sourced inventory, market knowledge, trade opportunities, and access to an extensive dealer network. Every watch is authenticity checked, professionally represented, and backed by transparent communication throughout the process.
Outside of the business, I have always had a strong interest in automotive culture, collecting, and the lifestyle surrounding mechanical craftsmanship and luxury goods — passions that continue to shape the identity and direction of Wrist Works today.
Thank you for taking the time to visit Wrist Works. I truly appreciate every client, collector, and supporter who continues to trust us with their watch journey.
Why Choose Wrist Works?
Frequently Asked Questions
All Wrist Works pricing is fixed, transparent and aggressively aligned with current market conditions.
Unlike many dealers who inflate pricing to create room for negotiation, our pricing is continuously reviewed against real market transaction data, international market movements, inventory availability and demand trends.
This allows us to offer competitively positioned pricing from the outset without negotiation games, while ensuring our clients receive fair and market-relevant pricing at all times.
Are you tired of the frustrating experience of dealing with scammers and time-wasters on platforms like Facebook and Gumtree? Are you in search of a way to reach the widest possible audience and secure the best return for your watch effortlessly? Consider Consignment! It's like having your very own dedicated sales team tirelessly working round the clock to find the perfect buyer for your watch.
Unlike a standard outright sale where profit is derived from the mark-up between acquisition and selling price, we earn a modest commission from the sale.
Unlike many watch dealers, we here at Wrist Works believe every situation is unique.
We work out our commissions with the client on a CASE BY CASE basis.
It's important to note that while your watch is in our care, it is fully protected by our comprehensive stock insurance, providing coverage against potential risks such as theft, fire, and more. We'll also handle the cost of shipping your watch if it doesn't sell within 90 days.
If, for any reason, your watch remains unsold after 90 days, you have the right to request its return or opt for an extension of the consignment contract.
Please be aware that Consignment is a binding contract between the consigner and the consignee. This means you cannot accept offers or sell your watch while it is in our possession, nor can you refuse a sale once it is under our care. You are also unable to recall the watch unless the 90 days has passed. Upon the successful sale of your watch, we will promptly send the proceeds to you through your preferred payment method, minus our specified commission, within 48 hours of receiving the funds. For more detailed information, please review our complete Terms and Conditions.
Selling your watch has never been more convenient! Here's a step-by-step guide to the process:
1. Choose Your Path: Outright Sale or Consignment
First, decide whether you prefer an outright sale for a quicker transaction or consignment for potentially greater returns. Fill out our form, providing us with as many details as possible about your watch. This information helps us offer you a transparent and fair valuation for your timepiece.
2. Swift Response
After you've submitted the form, we'll make it a priority to get back to you within 48 hours.
3. Transparent Pricing
Our commitment to fairness means we'll engage with you to agree on a selling price that reflects the true value of your watch. Our team will communicate with you openly, so you know precisely what we are willing to pay and what we anticipate selling your watch for.
4. Hassle-Free Shipping
It's time to send us your watch, or if you prefer, meet us in person, the best part is that we'll cover the shipping costs. Rest assured, while your watch is in our custody, it is fully protected by our comprehensive inventory insurance.
5. Payment Process
Upon arrival of your watch, we will authenticate it and confirm its condition. Following authentication, we'll initiate the payment process via a bank transfer or your preferred payment method. Please note that authentications are conducted during weekday hours, from 8 am to 4 pm. While we endeavour to complete all authentications and assessments within 48 hours, occasional delays may occur. Your trust and confidence in the process are our utmost priorities.
Yes. Every watch we sell is 100% authentic. We verify serials, movements, components, and provenance before listing any piece.
At Wrist Works, every watch is backed by a clear and straightforward mechanical warranty. Watches under 15 years old come with a 1-year warranty, and watches 15 years and older come with a 6-month warranty. This warranty covers mechanical faults that stop the watch from operating correctly. It doesn’t cover servicing, routine maintenance, water damage, misuse, magnetisation, wear and tear, aftermarket parts, accuracy within normal tolerance, or any issue caused by third-party work.
If the watch still has an active manufacturer warranty, that warranty applies first. For any valid claim under our coverage, we cover shipping both ways, and any approved mechanical repair is handled at our cost. This setup gives you confidence when buying from Wrist Works and reflects the trusted reputation we’ve built in the Australian pre-owned watch market.
