What is Subdial?
Subdial is a network-powered trading platform for collectables.

Initially focussed on watches, we harness a growing network of watch enthusiasts to enable you to buy and sell collectable pieces in a more engaging way, and without the cost of middle men.

Founded five years ago, we've established ourselves as one of the most exciting startups in the luxury goods market.

When you buy and sell preowned watches, you're often forced to choose between security and cost - buy from a reputable source who offer protections and it costs too much, or buy without them and you're open to scams.

We're the first platform to deliver both, allowing enthusiasts and collectors to trade and build their collections with all the comfort of a major dealer without the eye-watering transaction costs.

Ultimately we enable watch people to get on with the fun stuff: enjoying watches and building their collections free from the hurdles that this usually comes with.

We're growing quickly and adding to our fantastic team based out of East London.


Where we are & where we're going

We've grown rapidly over the past year, driven by our ability to understand watch markets and sell great watches, in exceptional condition, at competitive prices.

We want to become the UK's biggest trading network for preowned collectable watches within the next 18-24 months.

To deliver this we'll need to scale our team and increase our capacity to polish an increased volume of watches.

Our Polishing team is integral to this, often being the first people hands on with the watches.

This role is imperative in ensuring our products are up to the high standards of aesthetics that our clients have come to expect.

Our workshop team has quadrupled over the last 12 months and has really highlighted a need for more polishers of exceptional quality in the market.

Full training will be provided from one of the countries best polishers with a comprehensive 12 month plan in place.
