The Importance of Quality Control in Watch Trading
In the fast-paced world of cross-border watch commerce, quality assurance separates successful traders from those who struggle with returns and dissatisfied customers. Hoobuy's comprehensive Quality Control (QC) system provides a robust solution for verifying the authenticity and condition of timepieces before international shipment.
Hoobuy QC: Precision Inspection for Timepieces
Our specialized watch inspection protocol includes:
- Movement accuracy testing (minimum 48-hour observation)
- Geniune parts verification against manufacturer specifications
- Water resistance assessment where applicable
- Case and crystal integrity inspection

- Bracelet/clasp operation testing
Each inspection comes with high-resolution photography documenting the watch from multiple angles, with macro shots of serial numbers and trademark engravings.
