The concept seems good, but you need to create a security about sending a prized possession or an expensive item to a unknown firm. Warranty, Guarantee, "an estimate and quote will be sent back before any work is done on your prized watch". Before and after photo's of past work...

For the site design, I would go for a more high-end feel, the fonts and language give a college or Ikea feel. Please don't use words like "bummer".

I would visit all the high end watch companies web sites and mirror their fonts, colors and images. They all spent the big bucks studying their target markets and have identified what appeals to their demographics...

hat if you did an add-on to your service where for $5 or whatever you sent the client the proper mailer/box with bubble wrap or whatever they needed to get it to you safely, already self addressed to you?

I think this is a solid idea, but I would offer it for free. Build it into your prices. Also, like the others said, offer a money-back guarantee (including if UPS/USPS loses it) as one of your Value Propositions. Carry insurance if you have to.

Start marketing the site. Text me or hit me on up Skype if you want help setting up PPC campaigns.

Hi,

Although this is not fast lane, but it definitely caters to a niche for anyone that wears a watch or has a watch they would like to sell. I've just officially launched this site tonight. I wanted to collect some honest opinions on how I can improve this site. All opinion are appreciated! :)

What do you guys think?

I think your site looks good enough for what your offering!
It is a good idea because I just sent out my Rolex Datejust for a service, which costs quite a bit.
Do you also service these watches?
