ObiFID is an independent market-intelligence service that brings financial-grade analytics to luxury watches: fair value, net-of-cost returns, liquidity and risk. One search shows every listing we can see, each priced against fair value.
Live search opens with our first data release. Until then, searches show a sample result so you can see what ObiFID returns.
Find pulls watch listings from marketplaces, dealers and auction houses into a single normalized view, then scores each one with ObiFID's valuation engine. You see the market as a buyer would, with a cost-aware valuation laid over it. You buy on the original site; ObiFID never touches the transaction.
Search by brand, model or reference and resolve to one canonical watch ID, down to dial, bezel and bracelet variant.
Listings from every connected source in one table: same currency, same condition scale, duplicates and relists merged.
Each ask is compared with a condition-adjusted fair-value range and shown as net edge after buying and resale costs.
Sell-through, days on market and expected time to cash, so you know how quickly a watch could be sold again.
Marketplace sentiment, listing velocity and auction momentum sit beside every price.
Direction and strength of the reference's price trend, with the current market-cycle phase.
Statistically detected turning points, flagged on the chart with the confidence behind them.
No checkout, no custody, no paid placement. Rankings can't be bought, and every listing links out to its source.
| Source | Condition | Ask | vs fair value | Net edge (median) | Grade | Days listed | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marketplace A | C2 · full set | $8,200 | −14% | +$410 | ◐ Possible bargain | 6 | Source ↗ |
| Dealer B | C1 · full set | $8,650 | −18% | +$920 | ● High-confidence bargain | 3 | Source ↗ |
| Auction C | C3 · watch only | Est. $7,000–8,000 | ≈ fair | — | ○ Auction pending | — | Source ↗ |
| Marketplace D | C2 · no papers | $10,400 | +9% | −$1,350 | ○ Not a bargain | 41 | Source ↗ |
| Marketplace E | Unverified | $4,900 | −52% | — | ▲ Suspect | 1 | Source ↗ |
Net edge = fair value on resale − (ask + fees + tax + shipping + insurance + authentication) − resale costs. Listings that look too good to be true go through a fraud check before they are graded; in the sample, Marketplace E is held back because the seller account is new, no serial is visible and the price is far below fair value.
Collector markets move on attention and scarcity. ObiFID turns both into published indicators, each with a definition, a confidence level and a record of when it fired.
Is demand warming or cooling?
How fast is supply arriving and clearing?
Are auctions beating expectations?
Is available supply tightening or loosening?
Is attention running ahead of price?
Where are the turning points?
Which way, and how strongly?
The numbers a finance professional expects.
Price predictions.
A rules-based index of the secondary watch market, built for people who think in returns. It comes with a companion index that shows what an owner actually nets after buying and selling costs.
• A price index and a net-of-cost return index, both with confidence bands
• Brand and category sub-indices
• Volatility, drawdown, liquidity and cycle-state readings
• A quarterly market report
• A published rulebook, with every methodology change announced
First release follows data licensing and a completed backtest. The full rulebook is published before the first release.
Read our approach →Collectible markets have no exchange, no standard condition grades and plenty of duplicate or misleading listings. ObiFID is designed to produce reliable numbers anyway, and to tell you plainly when it can't. More on our approach.
Each data source runs as an isolated connector with its own health checks. If one source fails, coverage and confidence drop and are flagged, but nothing else stops. Raw data is kept so fixes can be replayed across history.
Every source is mapped to one canonical model (identity, variant, condition, price, currency, fees) by configuration, not custom code. Unknown fields are preserved, never dropped.
Valuation and signal models sit behind one interface and are versioned, backtested and swappable. The same snapshot and model version always give the same answer.
A new asset class is a configuration pack (identifiers, attributes, sources, models), not a rebuild. Watches first; other collectibles only once their data meets the same bar.
Every value ships with a range. When direct data is thin, estimates fall back to comparable watches, and the range widens to show it. When data is too thin, ObiFID says "insufficient data" instead of guessing.
Each number carries a data-quality grade and plain-language flags, so you can see where it came from and how much weight to give it.
A valuation is only worth something if you can trust whose side it's on.
ObiFID does not buy, sell, broker or hold watches.
Rankings and valuations can't be bought. Any referral links are labeled and never affect results.
Every figure is timestamped and traceable to its data snapshot and model version.
We measure the market. We don't predict prices or tell you what to buy.
Every value carries a range and a data-quality grade. When data is too thin, we say so.
Know what a watch is worth before you pay. Track your collection's value, liquidity and risk over time.
Price stock against the whole market, spot sourcing opportunities and flag inventory that is aging.
Defensible, documented values for net-worth statements, replacement cover and collateral.
