Authenticity & Functionality
We have over 40 years experience in the field of watches and jewellery, specifically in the pre-owned market. All our watches undergo rigorous inspection and testing by our qualified watchmakers. This is why we are proud to offer a lifetime authenticity guarantee as well as a 2 years warranty.
All our watches are inspected by our qualified watchmakers before processing. Every watch offered on our website is classified to be in excellent working order and prestine retail condition. Typically this means undergoing a service and a light polish if necessary however however not all watches need this. We never over polish watches. We believe in doing only the necessary work to our watches in order to maintain factory fit and finish.
All Our watches are backed by a 24 months warranty.
We are proud to use The Watch Register which is an international database for stolen watches and falls under The Art Loss Register. We are also very strict in our buying process and very selective of the watches we buy and people that we deal with.
As attractive as it can be to only consider watches with the original box and papers, it's not actually necessary. We believe the original papers make a nice complete set which could potentially make a watch easier to sell however it does not add or subtract from its originality and authenticity nor does it guarantee a clean history. We always use the phrase "buy the seller first". Which essentially means reputation and a place to come back to is everything!
