Polish
We tend to not polish our watches before listing for sale, this is because we have always preferred to keep as much metal on the watch as possible and preserve the shape. We are able to offer a polish as a free service, just let us know if you wish for this to be done and we can have our watchmaker complete. This will add 4-5 working days to dispatch.
Part Exchange
We always prefer this! Being enthusiasts, the more watches we get to handle, the better. We're always on the hunt for new and interesting pieces! Please get in touch with the watch you have, along with as much information as you can such as the reference & any photos - We'd love to give you a price.
Peace of Mind
All of the watches we source are rigorously inspected. Every watch is also checked against The Watch Register for lost/stolen goods for your peace of mind. A certificate from The Watch Register can be provided free of charge upon request.
