Pre-Shipment Process
Each watch undergoes rigorous verification against our website listing, inclusive of box and papers to match the description. Our watchmaking team conducts final tests for cosmetic condition, timing accuracy, and water resistance if applicable. These verifications and tests are performed to ensure the watch is in perfect working order before shipment.
Shipping Destinations and Quotes
We ship internationally through reputable carriers including FedEx, UPS, and DHL. Domestic shipments are eligible for complimentary, fully insured expedited shipping, which is processed as soon as the funds have been received and quality control on the watches have been completed. This typically results in shipping the next day.
Depending on the courier and destination, international orders are shipped following quality control and funds clearance. Initial shipping estimates are included in your purchase total. Actual charges may fluctuate based on method, location, and specific circumstances. Our team will confirm final charges with you before processing, ensuring transparency and agreement.
