    2. You can check and amend any errors before submitting your Order. Please take the time to read and check your Order at each page of the Order process.
    3. When you submit an Order, your Order represents an offer to us to purchase the Goods. This does not mean that your Order has been accepted. Our acceptance of your Order will take place as described in clause 2(d).
    4. If we accept your Order, we will confirm our acceptance by sending you an e-mail (Order Confirmation). The contract between us will only be formed when we send you the Order Confirmation. Any Goods forming part of the same Order which we have not confirmed in the Order Confirmation do not form part of that contract.
    5. All Goods shown on our Website are subject to availability. If we are unable to supply you with the Goods (for example, because the Goods are no longer in stock), we will let you know by telephone or by e-mail and we will cancel your Order. If you have already paid for the Goods, we will refund you the full amount within 5 Working Days of cancellation (unless we reasonably suspect a fraudulent card payment, see clause 16).

  1. PRICE AND PAYMENT

    2. The prices quoted on our Website are in Pounds Sterling. Payments must be made to us in Pounds Sterling and any refunds will only be issued by us in Pounds Sterling. We do not accept liability for fluctuations in the exchange rate, which may affect any refund if you are based outside the UK.
    3. The price quoted includes VAT (or similar sales tax) at the prevailing rate. If the rate of VAT changes between the date of your Order and the date of dispatch, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Goods in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
    4. It is always possible that some of the Goods we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before we dispatch the Goods so that where the Goods’ correct price is less than the price stated on our Website or in your Order, we will charge the lower amount. If the Goods’ correct price is higher than the price stated on our Website or in your Order, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of either continuing with your Order for the Goods at the correct price or cancelling your Order. We will not process your Order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you and you do not respond to our e-mail in relation to the pricing error within 5 Working Days, we will treat the Order as cancelled, notify you by e-mail and refund any sums already paid within 14 days of the date your Order is cancelled (unless we reasonably suspect a fraudulent card payment, see clause 16).

You will be advised of the part exchange allowance we attribute to your watch before your Order is confirmed. Where your part exchange allowance exceeds the purchase price of the Goods, we will issue you with the appropriate credit by bank transfer. Where your part exchange allowance is less than the purchase price of the Goods, you can pay the outstanding balance using another method listed above. Our Sell Your Watch terms and conditions also apply; or

If we agree that you can pay by way of an initial deposit and if after paying the initial deposit for the Goods we do not receive the balance payment in full and cleared funds within 14 days of our receipt of the deposit payment from you, then we reserve the right to cancel your Order and relist the Goods for sale on our Website. We will give you at least 3 days’ notice by e-mail before we do this and we will refund your deposit within 14 days of the date your Order is cancelled (unless we reasonably suspect a fraudulent card payment, see clause 16).
  1. DELIVERY
    1. Delivery dates will vary depending on the availability of the Goods, Work required and your address. Prior to accepting your Order, we will contact you with an estimated delivery date. All dates quoted by us for dispatch and delivery of the Goods, though given in good faith, are estimates only and in exceptional circumstances delivery may take up to 2 months from acceptance of your Order. Occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control. Please see clause 15 for our responsibilities when this happens.
    2. Deliveries within the UK are made using the Royal Mail's Special Delivery™ service. We will not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by an Event Outside Our Control or your failure to provide us with adequate delivery instructions.
    3. A signature is needed for receipt of the Goods by an adult (aged 18 years or over) at the delivery address (whether yourself or a member of your household). If no-one is available when the carrier attempts delivery, the carrier may leave a calling card for you to re-arrange delivery at a more convenient time. Alternatively, you may need to collect the Goods from your local delivery office provided you can produce adequate proof of identity. Any parcel that has been damaged or tampered with should not be signed for and delivery should be refused.
    4. We will deliver the Goods to the delivery address given in your Order. If you pay by debit or credit card, the Goods must be dispatched to the billing address of the card holder, though we will use reasonable endeavours to send the Goods to an alternative address where requested provided you comply with our dispatch department’s reasonable instructions.
    5. Goods may be collected from our shop. You acknowledge that we will not be liable for losses you incur including travel costs.
    6. Delivery of the Goods will be completed when we deliver the Goods to the address given in your Order or when the Goods are collected from our offices (by you or your representative).
    7. If you arrange for another courier to collect the Goods, delivery will be completed when the Goods are collected from our offices. This means that we will not be responsible if the Goods are lost or damaged in the course of transit.
    8. The Goods will be your responsibility from the completion of delivery.
    9. You own the goods once we have received payment in full.
  1. MANUFACTURER WARRANTY
    1. Some of the Goods we sell come with a manufacturer's warranty. For details of the applicable terms and conditions, please refer to the Paperwork provided with the Goods or to the manufacturer’s website.
    2. As a consumer, a manufacturer's warranty is in addition to your legal rights in relation to goods that are faulty or not as described.
  1. Our WARRANTY
    1. We provide either a full or limited warranty with our pre-owned Goods for a period of 12 months from the date of delivery in accordance with our warranty terms and conditions. Please take the time to read and understand these terms. Our warranty doesn’t apply to new Goods which are typically covered by a third party manufacturer’s warranty.
    2. As a consumer, the warranty we provide is in addition to your legal rights in relation to Goods that are faulty or not as described.
  1. WATER RESISTANCE
    1. Where your Order for Goods includes a wrist watch (‘Watch’), you should be aware that water resistant watches are not water proof. For example, Watches advertised as water resistant to 30 metres (100 feet/3 ATM) can only withstand splashes. All Watches sold by us are subject to our categorisation as detailed in the glossary available on our Website.
    2. All our watches are tested prior to sale to ensure that the advertised water resistance is accurate. You acknowledge and accept that we will not replace seals and/or gaskets or other parts if the Watch passes our tests before dispatch.
    3. Waterproofing (or “water resistance”), are described either in meters, or in bars (1 bar = 10 m = approx. 33 ft). It is important to note that the indication of the degree of water resistance in meters is a technical norm which does not correspond to an exact depth. “Water-resistant to 10m” does not mean that the watch can be worn to this depth, rather it indicates that the watch will resist pressure equivalent to a static immersion up to 10m deep. The wearer’s movements (diving, jumping, swimming, etc) as well as the force of the water (shower jets, river currents, waterfalls, etc) can considerably increase the pressure.
    4. Where your watch is certified as Water Resistant its water-resistance is ensured by a series of seals. Before any contact with water, it is essential to ensure that the crown and pushers of your watch are pushed in or screwed down, depending on model. When your watch is under water, do not activate the push-pieces for the chronograph function, the minute-repeater or the second time zone. After swimming, make sure to rinse your water-resistant watch in fresh water so as to neutralise the potentially corrosive effects of sea-water or chlorine. The water-resistance seals of your certified Water Resistant watch undergo natural deterioration due to ageing. It is therefore recommended that you have a regular water-resistance check performed once every year if your watch is worn during sporting activities or frequently comes into contact with water, or once every two years when worn in normal conditions. Never try and open the case yourself. In the event of water or condensation appearing under the glass, take the watch as quickly as possible to an authorized maintenance centre to prevent further damage.
  1. BRACELETS SIZES
    Given the nature of our Goods, bracelet sizes may vary as they are not always supplied to us with a full accompaniment of links. A bracelet size will be requested from you before your order is dispatched or taken from a part exchange and we will endeavour to size the watch to the requested size. Where a watch is advertised as having seals intact the bracelet will not be adjusted. Where the size exceeds our standard size, links will be supplied at your cost or at our discretion. If no bracelet size is given any additional links will be chargeable.
  1. PAPERWORK DATE
    1. If the Goods are sold with Paperwork, the age of the Goods is calculated from the date given on the Paperwork, which is when the Paperwork is officially stamped by the authorised dealer (‘Age’). You acknowledge that the date of manufacture may be significantly earlier than the Paperwork date.
    2. If the Goods are sold without Paperwork, it can be difficult for us to calculate the Age of the Goods, particularly for vintage Goods. While the Age has been given in good faith (calculated by reference to the serial number if reasonably practicable, owner information or other indicators), you acknowledge that the Age of the Goods listed on the Website is an estimate only.
    3. If the Goods are sold without Paperwork, no representation or warranty, express or implied, is made by us in relation to the accuracy of the Age of the Goods.
  1. FAULTY GOODS
    1. We are under a legal duty to supply you with products that are in conformity with the contract.
    2. You must inspect the Goods as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery and you must inform us promptly if the Goods are faulty or not as described (‘Faulty’) upon delivery or if you discover faults later.
    3. You must take reasonable care of the Goods and you must return any Goods that are Faulty (including Paperwork, links, user manual, service papers and box as applicable) promptly and within 14 days of advising us of the relevant Faulty Good.
    4. On confirmation by us following inspection and/or testing that the Goods were Faulty on delivery and provided you were not made aware of the relevant fault at the time of purchase of the relevant Good, you will be entitled to the following remedies:
    5. you may ask us to refund your payment less any reasonable deduction in accordance with clause 11(j) for loss of or damage to Paperwork if the relevant Goods (including Paperwork, links user manual service papers and box as applicable) are returned within 30 days of delivery;
    6. you may ask us to replace the Goods, though you acknowledge that given the nature of the Goods that we sell, we may not be able to source a suitable replacement, and we are under no obligation to replace the Goods where this impossible or imposes costs on us that are unreasonable, taking into account, amongst other things, the value which the Goods would have if they conformed to the contract of sale and the significance of the lack of conformity, in which case your remedy will be limited to either a refund or repair subject to the terms set out in this clause 11;
    7. you may ask us to repair the Goods, though we are under no obligation to repair the Goods where this is impossible or imposes costs on us that are unreasonable, taking into account, amongst other things, the value which the Goods would have if they conformed to the contract of sale and the significance of the lack of conformity, in which case your remedy will be limited to either refund or replacement subject to the terms set out in this clause 11; or
    8. if we are unable to repair or replace the Goods after one or more attempts, you may ask us to refund your payment less: a) any reasonable deduction in accordance with clause 11(j) for loss of or damage to Paperwork; and b) any reasonable deduction for wear and tear through use which will not exceed £90 (which equates to the cost of a refurbishment) if the relevant Goods (including Paperwork, links, User Manual Services papers and box as applicable) are returned after 6 months of delivery.
    9. All refunds payable under this clause 11(d) shall be paid 14 days of the Goods (including Paperwork, links user manual service papers and box as applicable) being returned to us following your election to receive a refund.
    10. You acknowledge that the Paperwork (where supplied) substantially increases the value of the Goods and that its absence or damage will affect the value of the Goods. If you return the Goods with missing or damaged Paperwork, we will make a reasonable deduction to the sum refunded to you not exceeding 25% of the purchase price.
    11. We reserve our rights to reduce any remedies under clause 11(d) if Paperwork is missing or damaged.
    12. Return postage, packaging and insurance will be your responsibility and you must follow our reasonable instructions. We recommend you use a tracked mail system and retain proof of postage. You must insure the Goods to their full value. You must ensure that you pack the Goods appropriately to prevent damage during transit.
    13. If your Goods are Faulty on delivery and you are based within the UK, we will refund your reasonably incurred return postage costs provided you comply with our reasonable return instructions and you provide us with a copy receipt.
    14. If your Goods are Faulty on delivery and you are based outside the UK, we will refund your reasonably incurred return postage costs to a maximum of £12 (although this may be reviewed on a case by case basis) provided you comply with our reasonable return instructions and you provide us with a copy receipt.
    15. Given our reliance at times on third parties and a world-wide shortage of watchmakers, you acknowledge that a reasonable time for completion of a repair may extend to several months for Events Outside Our Control, for example where manufacturer involvement is necessary to carry out the repair (including in the sourcing of parts).
    16. If you buy several Goods from us as part of the same Order, and only some of these Goods are Faulty, you may return the Faulty Goods in accordance with this clause 11, but this does not entitle you to return other Goods which are not Faulty.
    17. To discuss a problem with your Order, please contact us on 01896 208050
    18. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Goods that are Faulty.

    1. You may cancel your Order for the Goods without giving any reason.

The Goods must be in their original condition.
    5. You acknowledge that the Paperwork (where supplied) substantially increases the value of the Goods and that its absence or damage will affect the value of the Goods. If you return the Goods with missing or damaged Paperwork, we will make a reasonable deduction to the sum refunded to you not exceeding 25% of the purchase price.
    6. Returned Goods will be inspected by our servicing team and you will incur a charge for any Work necessary if the returned Goods are found to be damaged or otherwise compromised from you handling the Goods beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods.

    1. Clause headings shall not affect the interpretation of these terms and conditions.
    2. Unless the context otherwise requires, words in the singular shall include the plural and in the plural shall include the singular.
  1. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU
    1. If you would like to sell your watch to us you will need to provide us with details of your watch, including its model, make and condition, by either entering details on the “Sell Your Watch” page on our website or by navigating through our catalogue on the “Sell Your Watch” page to find the watch you wish to sell.
    2. Please provide information about your watch fully and accurately. Any quotation, whilst given in good faith, is derived from a combination of factors including without limitation the information supplied by you. The provision of inaccurate, false or misleading information by you may result in an inaccurate valuation which cannot be relied upon by you.
    3. You will then receive either an e-mail with an initial valuation.
    4. Any valuations are provided on a "subject to contract" basis and are not legally binding. We reserve the right to amend or withdraw the valuation at any time without liability to you.
    5. If you are happy with the initial valuation, then you will need to arrange for the watch to be posted to our offices in accordance with the clause governing “Delivery” below.
    6. On receipt of your watch at our offices, purchase of your watch is subject to due diligence checks including a search through The Watch Register(a subsidiary of the Art Loss Register) and also to an inspection. Please note: should your watch match an item on The Watch Register’s database of stolen watches then we will be legally bound to secure the watch and, where necessary, inform law enforcement. In this event, no payment will be made and you will be required to contact The Watch Register directly to resolve the issue. The Watch Register will offer its assistance to any good faith holders in negotiating an amicable settlement. As soon as a clear check result is received, an inspection of your watch and any accompanying paperwork will then be carried out. We will then contact you with a final valuation for your watch. Notwithstanding any such inspection or testing, you shall remain fully responsible for the items, and any inspection or testing shall not reduce or otherwise affect your obligations under the contract, including without limitation those listed under “Your Undertakings” below.
    7. A revised valuation may be offered where: (i) the watch does not fully comply with the information provided during the valuation process; (ii) the condition is such that it has a substantial impact on the value of the watch; (iii) other relevant factors not disclosed affect the valuation; and/or (iv) for any other reason.
    8. If you wish to proceed with a sale and accept our final valuation, we will arrange to pay you the agreed sum by bank transfer (see “Payment” below).

We will then send you an e-mail confirming when payment has been made, the sum paid and the payment method.
    9. You may purchase a watch from us in part-exchange of your current watch. The sale of your existing watch to us and your purchase of a watch from us shall be treated as separate contracts with the relevant terms and conditions applicable to each. In terms of the watch that you are selling to us in part-exchange, you are subject to these “Sell Your Watch” terms and conditions. In terms of the watch that you purchase from us, you are subject to our “Buy a Watch” terms and conditions. The contract between us under these terms and conditions will only be formed when you have accepted the final price quoted. For further information, please see “Part-Exchanges” below.

    8. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, we provide you with an incorrect valuation. If for some reason an error in the valuation quoted has occurred, we will rectify the valuation as soon as reasonably practicable after notification of the mistake.
