Conditions of Sale

 

All buyer should read these conditions of sale.

Buyers should note that each watch is sold « AS IS ». All condition reports merely reflect the state and condition of the watch on the day the watch is inspected; there is no guarantee that the condition of the watch will remain the same until the time of collection by the buyer. As watches are sold as-is,  there is no guarantee of movement accuracy, due to the nature of vintage watches.

Moreover, condition report are not exhaustive and may not specify all mechanicals replacements or imperfections to the movement, case, dial. 

 

As second hand and collector’s watches often contain extremely fine and complex mechanisms, buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the buyer is alone responsible, may be necessary.  In all cases, for a perfect accuracy and working condition, a full service overhaul at the manufactory is recommended (at buyer’s expanse).
