Can you promote here?
Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.
From the rules · Must include a handwritten timestamp as the first image, follow the exact title syntax, have positive karma and a 30-day-old account, and do NOT post external sales or referral links.
Links
Only specific link types are allowed (docs, papers, non-commercial). Commercial links are removal bait.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: showcase
Headline must be exact [WTS]/[WTT] (Brand) (Model) (Details). Use first-person, short factual copy; posts are link-only with an image album — make the timestamp the first image. Typical posts are concise listings (photos, condition, price/trade value, location, payment and shipping). Tone: neutral, trustworthy, detail-focused. Upvoted: well-lit photos, clear timestamp, fair pricing, full set/records; removed: bad title, missing timestamp, outside sales/referral links.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked July 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/watchexchange's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
