Our Return Policy for Watches
Watches are subject to a very strict 30 day, must be returned in new unused condition, with all paperwork and original packaging. If a watch is worn, there are indentations in the leather or fabric band it is considered used and can no longer be returned. After that time, used, damaged or defective watches must be directed to the manufacturer’s service center for repair or replacement.
Each watch manufacture has its own watch repair center and procedures on how to get your watch repaired. Click Here to find the manufacturer of your watch and repair instructions. More specific details can be located on the warranty card included with each purchase.
