Hey everyone! I built IndieWatches because I kept running into the same problem as a watch enthusiast: incredible indie and micro brands were getting completely lost on platforms like Chrono24 and eBay. The big names dominate those marketplaces, and smaller independent makers had nowhere to reach the people who actually appreciate their craft. So I built a dedicated marketplace for them. Vibe coded the whole thing on Lovable, launched on Product Hunt, and we're at about 700 signups with our first listings live. The escrow feature was the unlock. When I talked to both collectors and sellers early on, trust was the biggest concern on both sides. Adding 14-day escrow with quality verification made people comfortable enough to actually sign up and transact. Still early days and working through the classic marketplace cold-start challenge, but the response so far has been really encouraging. Would love any feedback from this community on the product or the approach. Happy to answer questions about the build!
