Frequently Asked Questions
How does watch identification work?
Grailr technology reads visible features such as dial text, layout, hands and case shape to suggest a brand, model and possible reference. It can infer specifications from that suggested match. Confirm the reference against the physical watch and manufacturer documentation.
How accurate is Grailr’s watch identifier?
Results vary with the photo and watch. The confidence score is Grailr’s confidence in its suggested identification, not a measured accuracy rate or an authenticity score. Similar references and replicas can look alike, so check the proposed match before relying on it.
Can I identify a watch from any photo?
Use a clear, well-lit, straight-on view of the dial with the case visible. Blurred, obscured or reflective images may not support a reliable identification. Grailr cannot guarantee a match for every watch or determine every specification from appearance alone.
Is the watch identifier free to use?
A free account includes 3 identification scans per month, with no credit card required. Paid plan features and limits are listed on the pricing page. No plan certifies watch authenticity.
What information can a result include?
A suggested brand, model and possible reference, inferred specifications, estimated era and visual condition, identification reasoning and an indicative value range. Available eBay asking prices are separate market context, not completed sales. A photo cannot verify the internal movement or authenticity.
