Question 9

What is your returns policy?

Accepted Answer

We know how tricky it can be when selecting the perfect watch for yourself. Should your purchase not meet your requirements, or if you are unhappy with the item we ask that you please make us aware within 48 hours of receipt. Due to hygiene purposes, we kindly ask for you not wear the watch until you are completely satisfied with it. If the security seal attached to the watch is broken, returns will be void. If you do wish to return your item, you have 14 days from receipt to return the item for a full refund. We do ask that the item is returned to us in its original packaging, in the same condition that it was received and security seal intact. You must ensure that any item returned to us has the appropriate level of shipping cover. Refunds will be issued upon receipt of the item. Items that have been worn, adjusted or personalised will only be eligible for a refund if the item is faulty.

Question 10

Is my watch guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

Our 1 year warranty is subject to the same terms and conditions as the manufacturer warranty. The standard manufacturer warranty does not cover theft or loss of the watch. Normal wear-and-tear or damage caused to the watch by accidents or mishandling/mistreatment are also excluded, as well as damage caused to a watch due to submersion in water which is against the manufacturer's guidance. In particular, wear of the watch strap is not covered by the warranty, nor is battery life. Any modification of a watch by the addition or substitution of components by aftermarket products which have not been provided by the manufacturer will also invalidate the warranty. The use of aftermarket components can severely compromise the technical performance, reliability and waterproofness of the watch. If your watch has developed a fault, you can return it to us for inspection. If the repair is covered by your warranty, it will be undertaken free of charge. To begin the warranty return process, please contact us.

Question 11

Can I claim back the VAT if I am resident outside of the UK?

Accepted Answer

The huge majority of our stock is sold under the VAT margin scheme, whereby it is not possible for customers to reclaim VAT. We may on occasion be able to supply goods on a VAT invoice where the VAT is reclaimable (but only if the item has not been purchased by us under the VAT margin scheme). For clarification on the VAT status of a particular watch please enquire via the website listing by clicking the ‘Enquire About This Watch’ button.

Question 12

Do you price match watches?

Accepted Answer

As we only sell pre-owned luxury watches, price matching is incredibly difficult as each time piece will vary in condition, age, value etc. meaning it isn’t as straight forward as regular retail price matching scheme. However, should you find your desired watch cheaper elsewhere, please contact us and we can see if there is a possible solution.
