What is the Moda Watch Club?

The Moda Watch Club is a private watch trading community on Facebook. Members buy, sell, and trade luxury watches above $10,000. The group has 94,700+ members, including full-time dealers, part-time traders, and serious collectors. Vadim Moda started the Moda Watch Club in February 2018 as the first community in what is now the Moda Clubs network of 23 communities.

Trades happen daily inside the Moda Watch Club. Posts include watches for sale, watches wanted, deal references, and serial verification questions. Brands traded most frequently are Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, and Richard Mille, with strong activity on A. Lange & Söhne, Vacheron Constantin, and F. P. Journe. Watches from $500 to $10,000 go to Moda Watch Club: 10K & Under.

Members here also lean on Moda's paid watch vendors for the parts of ownership that happen after the trade, including Elite Watch Co for Rolex bracelet repair, movement service, and custom dial and bezel work.

How to join Moda Watch Club

Four steps. Free. Join requests are usually handled within one business day.

  1. 1
    Get your join code.
    Moda Watch Club is private, so the Facebook join question asks for a membership code. Get yours at modacommunities.com/join-code: add your name, email and Facebook profile link and we email it to you. You can also text the word moda plus the group name to (605) 349-1940 and fill out the short link it sends back. Codes from earlier years still work.
  2. 2
    Open the official group and click Join.
    Go to facebook.com/groups/Watchtrading and click Join. Bookmark it. This is the only Moda Watch Club. There is no separate Moda Watch Club website.
  3. 3
    Paste your code and answer the questions.
    Facebook prompts a few short questions. Paste your code into the membership question and answer the rest honestly. Mention how you found the group, your watch collecting or trading experience, and a brief reference if you have one.
  4. 4
    Wait for admin approval.
    The Moda admin team reviews requests in batches, and join requests are usually handled within one business day. Once approved, you can read the listings and respond to them. Posting a watch in Moda Watch Club is for Real Watch Buyers members, with #RWB at the top of the post.

Beware of fake Moda Watch Club sites

Several websites use the Moda Watch Club name to trick collectors out of money. They are not affiliated with Moda Clubs.

The real Moda Watch Club is a Facebook group. It is not a website that takes payments. It is not a marketplace storefront. It is not an e-commerce site. The only place where Moda Watch Club exists is facebook.com/groups/Watchtrading.

Moda Watch Club is free. Membership has zero cost. Anyone asking for a fee, an application fee, an initiation fee, a wire transfer, or a subscription to access Moda Watch Club is impersonating the brand. Moda Clubs does run separate paid tiers, Real Watch Buyers (RWB) for collectors and dealers and the Moda Dealer Alliance (MDA) for top watch dealers, each with its own application. See the Real Watch Buyers membership and the Moda Dealer Alliance pages. Joining Moda Watch Club is free and needs none of them. Posting a watch there does: posts in Moda Watch Club go up for Real Watch Buyers members, with #RWB at the top of the post.

If a site is not on the official list, it is not Moda. Paste any link into the Moda group verifier to confirm whether a community is part of the real Moda Clubs network.

Moda Watch Club FAQ

The questions buyers and traders ask most often.

Is Moda Watch Club a scam?+
No. Moda Watch Club is a legitimate watch trading community founded in February 2018 by Vadim Moda in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The official Moda Watch Club is a private Facebook group at facebook.com/groups/Watchtrading with 94,700+ members. Several websites use the Moda Watch Club name to charge fake membership fees. Those are not the real Moda Watch Club. Moda HQ never charges anyone to access Moda Watch Club. Company facts are at modacommunities.com/legit/moda.
What is the official Moda Watch Club Facebook URL?+
The only official Moda Watch Club Facebook URL is https://www.facebook.com/groups/Watchtrading/. Bookmark that link. Any other site using the Moda Watch Club name and asking for an application fee, membership fee, or wire transfer is impersonating the brand.
Is the Moda watch group the same as Moda Watch Club?+
Yes. Moda Watch Club is what most people mean when they search for the Moda watch group or the Moda watch trading group. The official group lives at facebook.com/groups/Watchtrading and is part of the Moda Clubs network. If a page calls itself a Moda watch group and asks for a membership fee, check it against the free tool at modacommunities.com/verify before sending anyone money.
How do I join Moda Watch Club?+
Get your join code first. The group is private, so the Facebook join question asks for a membership code. Go to modacommunities.com/join-code, add your name, email and Facebook profile link, and we email you your code. You can also text the word moda plus the group name to (605) 349-1940 and fill out the short link it sends back. Then visit facebook.com/groups/Watchtrading, click Join, paste that code into the join question and answer the rest honestly. Codes from earlier years still work. The Moda admin team reviews each request. Approval is free. There is no application fee and no payment required to be in Moda Watch Club.
How much does Moda Watch Club cost?+
Joining Moda Watch Club is free, with no application fee. Posting a watch there is for Real Watch Buyers (RWB) members, with #RWB at the top of the post. RWB is a separate paid membership with its own application and its own eligibility bar at modacommunities.com/rwb. For watches from $500 to $10,000, Moda Watch Club: 10K & Under takes posts from members of The Moda Club, RWB, Moda Gold+ or the Moda Dealer Alliance, with their hashtag at the top of the post.
How long does it take to get approved?+
Join requests are usually handled within one business day. If yours sits longer, contact the team at modacommunities.com/report with your Facebook name and the date you requested.
Why was my request to join declined?+
The usual reasons are a missing code in the join question, or a Facebook account under two years old, which most Moda groups decline automatically. The Moda Club is the exception, since the team can add its members manually.
Why was my post in Moda Watch Club declined?+
Posts in Moda Watch Club go up for Real Watch Buyers members with #RWB at the top, so a post without it is declined. A watch under $10,000 belongs in Moda Watch Club: 10K & Under. Every Moda group filters the dollar sign, so write the price bare (43,000 or 43k). Check a draft at modacommunities.com/post-checker before you post.
Who founded Moda Watch Club?+
Vadim Moda founded Moda Watch Club in February 2018. Vadim runs Moda Clubs, the parent organization, out of Moda HQ at 3920 E Iron Bridge Pl, Sioux Falls, SD 57108. Moda Clubs runs 23 buy and sell communities for luxury assets with 600,000+ total members.
How do I tell a real Moda Watch Club group from a fake one?+
Three checks. First, the URL must be exactly facebook.com/groups/Watchtrading. Second, the official Moda Watch Club is on Facebook only, not on a separate website. Any standalone .com / .net / .org calling itself Moda Watch Club and asking for fees is fake. Third, paste any link into the Moda group verifier at modacommunities.com/verify and the system tells you whether the group is on the official Moda list.
What watches can I trade in Moda Watch Club?+
Moda Watch Club is for luxury watches above $10,000. Members regularly trade Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, A. Lange & Söhne, Vacheron Constantin, F. P. Journe, and similar tier brands. For watches between $500 and $10,000, the dedicated community is Moda Watch Club: 10K & Under, explained at modacommunities.com/groups/moda-watch-club-10k-and-under.
Where is Moda Watch Club based?+
Moda HQ is at 3920 E Iron Bridge Pl, Sioux Falls, South Dakota 57108. The Moda team that operates Moda Watch Club works out of that office. The community itself is online and global on Facebook.
Can I pay with crypto on a Moda Watch Club deal?+
Yes, with one rule: the deal has to run through Kettle Pay, the Official Payments Partner of Moda, which screens every payment before it settles. Crypto outside of Kettle is still not allowed in Moda groups. The full rule and the Moda member offer are at modacommunities.com/kettle.
