Adam Moore-Lynch, who ran Manchester Watch Hub on King Street in Manchester city centre, promised to sell on clients' high-value watches while taking a commission for himself.
However, the 28-year-old sold pieces including Rolexes, some worth up to £120,000, and kept the money.
Det Con Michelle Wilkinson from GMP's Complex Fraud Investigation team, said the victims had suffered "significant financial and emotional loss".
"The watches have not been recovered, and it is highly likely they were subsequently sold to unsuspecting buyers, which further complicates efforts to recover the victims' property."
