Why Smile & Dial
The Way It Should Be
Renewably Sourced
Every watch we sell is preowned vintage — rescued, restored, and passed on instead of newly made. Choosing vintage keeps well-built timepieces out of landfills and means no new watch is manufactured to fill your order.
Expert Curation
We've handled thousands of vintage watches. Our eye for quality, originality, and value is what sets us apart.
Fair Prices · No Nonsense
We price based on real market data — not wishful thinking. Whether you're buying or selling, you'll get a fair deal.
Traveling Showroom · November & December
Catch Us at a Market
We’ll be setting up at multiple markets throughout November and December. Next up: Windy City Market – Vintage Market, November 12–13. Come say hello — always new inventory, always happy to talk watches.
Sell & Trade
Ready to Sell or Trade?
We buy single pieces and entire collections. No obligation, no pressure — just a fair offer from people who actually know what your watch is worth.
