Scammers & Fraudsters
How we managed to catch and convict them, please watch the video below simply click on the youtube link below here. Watch how Mr Elodie Gourlaouen from Rennes Bretagne France was caught trying to cheat us out of a return item, he thought he could send us back a box with no original contents just some old junk  if the weight was the same as the watch we would have no proof or evidence how wrong he was we record all returns before opening with a witness present. Also returns are only collected and signed for at the Royal mail where they hi tech cameras can pick up all fine details. The person named above was has clearly broken the law committing fraud and deception he is awaiting trial, internet fraud is a very serious offence and when found guilty can be up to a 10 year prison sentence. All our items are security marked and serial numbers logged watches are clearly seen in video's working unless stated in our add so any parts removed or damaged will be classed as criminal damage or theft and we will 100% prosecute. Again sorry to all the genuine people in the world, but if you are that person who is thinking purchasing from us with a criminal intent think again.

THE BUYER/BIDDER
    Please bare in mind before you by from us! That you are not buying a new watch from a high street retail outlet. Infact you are buying a pre used collectors & antiquarium time piece from a individual independent seller. Note you will need to care for the watch to the highest level and it will require service at some point in time. Remember in some cases these time pieces have stood there test of time, and in most cases have lasted longer than the human who made them, and the person who purchased them from new.


         What to expect & recommendations for the owner of antiquarian watches:
All Antique watches are mechanical. Many repairs will not be cheap, as most likely they will require replacement of non-standard parts (unlike most late model watches).
          - Antique watches should not be beaten or dropped - because repairs may be expensive.
          - Antique watches are generally NOT waterproof. This is because waterproofing was not in general production until the middle of the 20th century for most watches. Therefore you should protect your antique watch from exposure to moisture.
          - If your watch becomes wet it should be dried off quickly. Carefully open all covers and use a hair drier to blow dry the movement, dial, covers, crown. This will reduce the amount of rust.
          - If your watch becomes wet with any kind of salt water you should immediately immerse or spray your watch with fresh (no-salt) water to remove all the salt from the works before drying the watch completely. Any salt left in the watch will combine with moisture in the air to rust metal components of the movement, case etc.
         - Winding any mechanical watch tight may break the mainspring. If you can avoid it do not wind the watch hard.
         - When adjusting the hands of your watch, move them in a clockwise direction only. Counter-clockwise adjustments may damage the movement.
        - If you must adjust counter-clockwise make it for small adjustments only (i.e. for minutes, NOT hours).
        - Be careful and gentle when adjusting the movement speed (faster or slower). Don't make sharp movements, and don't touch other components in the movement especially the pendulum mechanism.
       - Every 2-3 years it is necessary to service and oil vintage watches.
       - IF the watch is dirty - allow the watch to run down, don't wind it again until you have it serviced by a qualified watch repair expert. Dust will absorb and remove important lubricants and cause the movement pieces to wear down.
      - To clean the case, dial and crystal you should use a cloth that does NOT leave fibers as these may get caught up in the movement. Check with your Watch repair expert to get an appropriate cloth.
      - Keep your antiques watch away from magnets. Strong magnetic fields may affect the accuracy of your watch since some vintage watches were made with iron based components in the movement.
      - Most Cases and Covers are fine components and will not handle abuse well. The watch should not be shaken, beaten, or stressed.
     - Antique watches generally experience an error of up to 5-7 minutes a day. Any accuracy of +- 5 minutes is very good.
INTERNATIONAL PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE BIDDING OR BUYING
      Vintage & collectors watches are very delicate and I package to the highest degree to prevent damage.

      High altitude flights can be hard on watches due to extreme temperature changes. This can cause the oil viscosity to decrease (gum up) and prevent a watch from ticking (the balance moving freely etc.). It may need to be oiled when it arrives regardless of its recent servicing (if applicable). Although this is only a very slight possibility it can occasionally happen.
