For the trade

Source stock from every room in the country without refreshing forty sites

You buy to resell, so the margin is set before the hammer falls. First you have to find the lot across a dozen platforms and a hundred rooms. Then you work out what it will really cost you, and decide whether the house is one that pays out cleanly. For most dealers that is an hour of browser tabs every morning.

In a few steps

How Lotwatch does the job

    1

    Set one monitor instead of forty bookmarks

    Describe what you buy in a sentence. We watch every room, from the big platforms down to the onsite estate salerooms, and email you when something matches. A “dive watch” monitor catches the Seamaster and the Submariner both, because we match on what a lot is, not the exact words a room happened to type.

    2

    Know the real cost before you bid

    Each house profile lists its buyer's premium and whether it is a registered, GST-active business, and every lot shows hammer plus premium as an all-in figure. You walk in with the number, the house's GST status beside it, not a surprise at checkout.

    Price it against real results

    Search the archive for what the thing actually makes. Narrow it to the last year or the whole record, then export the comparables as a CSV.

What you get

Built for this

Estimate changes

A halved estimate the week of a sale tells you something. We re-read every catalogue and flag the lots that move.

Closing soon

Live sales sorted by close time, so nothing slips past while you are standing in another room.

The long tail

We index the small onsite estate rooms nobody else bothers with. That is where trade-priced material tends to surface.

Browse every room free. Add a monitor and we hunt stock for you.
