What is Pushers? Pushers is a simple platform to help you find your next watch, directly from top dealers, without fees or a middle-man. Can I trust Pushers? Pushers only works with carefully curated dealers with strong track records in the watch business. This is not a free-for-all, every single dealer was selected directly from our network of legitimate dealers. We put you in direct contact with the dealers. That being said, we are not middle-men and have no involvement with the payment or delivery of your new watch. What happens when you contact the dealer is between you and the dealer. How do I use Pushers? Either browse our main feed of constantly updated watches, or follow your favorite dealers and curate your own feed. When you see a watch you're interested in purchase, you can contact the dealer directly with the contact information provided to us. I'm a legitimate dealer, how can I list my watches on Pushers?
