Flyback.ai

Flyback.ai is the buy-side intelligence platform for luxury watches, built to kill the noise in the secondary market. The problem is simple: asking prices are fiction. Sellers slap on optimistic numbers, buyers overpay out of FOMO, and the actual good deals disappear before you can even check your notifications. Flyback fixes this with AI that aggregates listings from 20+ sources including eBay, Chrono24, Watchfinder, Jomashop, Bezel, and Yahoo Auctions Japan, then scores every single deal in real time. The secret sauce is training on hundreds of thousands of verified sold transactions, not asking prices. That means when Flyback tells you a watch is a 92 deal score, it is backed by real data on what comparable pieces actually sold for. The platform covers over 2,300 watch references across 32 brands with 100% lug-to-lug measurement coverage. You get fair value forecasts with confidence ranges, historical price trends, and a wrist fit tool that recalibrates scores based on your actual wrist size. Whether you are a seasoned collector hunting for a rare Patek or a first-time buyer looking for a clean Rolex Submariner, Flyback gives you the data edge to stop guessing and start winning. It is free to use, and it is built for anyone tired of getting burned by inflated prices.

Real-Time Deal Scoring Across 20+ Sources

Flyback aggregates active listings from over 20 global marketplaces and dealers, then scores each one from 0 to 100 based on price versus comparable sales, seller reputation, condition, box and papers, and market velocity. A score of 0 means you are getting fleeced. A score of 100 means you found a unicorn. The models update throughout the day as new listings drop and sold prices shift, so you are never looking at stale data. This is not a static price tracker, it is a live intelligence feed.

Fair Value Forecasts with Confidence Ranges

For qualifying listings, a machine learning model estimates the fair market value adjusted for condition, completeness of set, seller history, and recent transaction data. The output includes a confidence range so you know exactly how much wiggle room there is. This is trained on thousands of real sold transactions, not asking prices. If a watch is listed at $8,000 but comparable pieces sold for $6,200 last month, Flyback surfaces that gap instantly.

Wrist Fit Tool with Lug-to-Lug Analysis

Enter your wrist circumference and Flyback recalibrates deal scores based on lug-to-lug fit and lug curvature type (straight, curved, or integrated). No more buying a watch that looks perfect online but wears like a dinner plate on your wrist. The tool covers 100% of lug-to-lug measurements across 2,300+ references and 32 brands, so you know exactly how a watch will sit before you click buy.

Market Trends Dashboard

Track average sold prices and volume shifts across brands, segments, and specific references. See which models are heating up, which are cooling down, and where the market is heading. The dashboard gives you a bird's-eye view of the secondary market, powered by real transaction data. Spot trends before they hit the mainstream and position yourself ahead of the curve.

Finding Genuine Deals in a Sea of Overpriced Listings

You have been hunting for a specific Rolex Datejust reference. You see it listed on Chrono24 for $9,500, on eBay for $8,800, and on Watchfinder for $9,200. Which one is actually a deal? Flyback scores each listing in real time, comparing the price against recent sold data for that exact reference. It tells you the $8,800 listing is actually overpriced because comparable pieces sold for $7,400 last quarter, while the $9,200 listing is a steal because it is a full set with box and papers and similar pieces sold for $10,100. You save hundreds, maybe thousands.

Avoiding the "It Looks Good Online" Trap

You fall in love with a vintage Omega Speedmaster. The photos are clean, the price is right, and the seller has great feedback. You buy it. It arrives and the lug-to-lug is massive on your 6.5-inch wrist. Flyback's wrist fit tool prevents this. Before you even consider a listing, you enter your wrist size and the platform tells you if that watch will actually fit. It accounts for lug curvature type, so even watches with integrated bracelets get properly evaluated. No more returns, no more disappointment.

Tracking Market Trends for Investment Decisions

You are thinking about adding a Patek Philippe Nautilus to your collection as an investment. But you are not sure if the market is peaking or if there is still room to run. Flyback's market trends dashboard shows you average sold prices and volume shifts over the last 6 months. You see that prices have stabilized after a dip, and volume is picking up again. You decide it is a good entry point. You set up alerts for listings with deal scores above 80. When one pops up, you are ready.

International Deal Hunting with Confidence

You spot a rare Grand Seiko on Yahoo Auctions Japan that is priced way below market. But you are in the US and have no idea about the seller's reputation or the real condition. Flyback aggregates that listing, scores the deal using its models, and factors in seller reputation and condition analysis. If the score is high, you can buy with confidence knowing the data backs it up. If it is low, you skip the headache.

How does Flyback's deal score actually work?

The deal score is a 0 to 100 rating calculated by comparing a listing's price against a machine learning model trained on hundreds of thousands of verified sold transactions. The model factors in the specific watch reference, condition, whether it includes box and papers, seller reputation, and current market velocity. A score of 0 means the listing is significantly overpriced. A score of 100 means it is an exceptional deal that is likely underpriced relative to the market. The model updates in real time as new sold data comes in.

Is Flyback really free to use?

Yes, Flyback is completely free to use. There are no hidden fees, subscription tiers, or paywalls. You can browse listings, check deal scores, use the wrist fit tool, and access the market trends dashboard without paying a cent. The platform is built to give buyers an edge, and that edge is free.

What sources does Flyback monitor?

Flyback aggregates listings from over 20 global sources including eBay, Chrono24, Watchfinder, Jomashop, Bob's Watches, WatchMaxx, Bezel, DavidSW, Timepeaks, Yahoo Auctions Japan, Subdial, The 1916 Company, Tourneau CPO, European Watch, AuthenticWatches, Birmingham Luxury Watches, and Jared. The list continues to grow as new marketplaces are added.

How accurate is the wrist fit tool?

The wrist fit tool is powered by a reference catalog covering over 2,300 watch references across 32 brands with 100% lug-to-lug measurement coverage. It accounts for lug curvature type (straight, curved, or integrated) to give you a precise fit assessment based on your wrist circumference. It is as accurate as the data allows, and it is constantly updated as new references are added. If a watch does not fit, the tool will tell you before you buy.
