We hope you love it! We don't recommend getting a vintage watch wet - and really don't recommend showering or diving with it - even one that was originally designed to be waterproof.
Wait until you see how big the box is that your watch is coming in! Please do remember though that while we do our very best and have careful procedures and quality control inspections - we will again fully re-test the proper functioning of your watch after you pay, right before we send it to you - from time to time some courier workers don't handle packages the way we think that they would want their own packages to be handled. Watches are ultra-precision instruments, and the timekeeping of most is governed by a small spring that is only about 1/8 the thickness of a human hai r.
The vast majority of our watches arrive safely and problem free. But even on a bad day there's still good news... Yes, even the older vintage watches. So sit back, relax, and dream about the first place where you're going to wear your new watch!
It does not cover things like abuse, being dropped, crystals, bracelets, crowns, case parts etc. Even if you have a problem that you don't think will qualify for coverage, tell us about it anyway. We are here to serve and just might be able to help you. After 48 hours the watch will be relisted.
