The difference between a piece that's been cared for and one that's been worked on. What to look for in the paperwork before you buy.

We list maybe a dozen pieces at a time. Each has been to our watchmaker. Each has paperwork. Each is something we'd buy ourselves — and have.
Every piece carries documentation: box, papers, service history. Pre-owned watches without papers are clearly disclosed.
We work with an independent watchmaker. Every watch is inspected before it lists; any issue is reported, not hidden.
5-day return on every piece. If you change your mind, we send a prepaid insured label and refund within 2 business days.
“Bought my first serious watch from them. They walked me through the service history line by line, no pressure. I'll buy from them again.”
“The piece arrived exactly as described — better, even. The packaging alone told me they take it seriously. This is how the trade should work.”
“Sold a piece on consignment with them. Honest about what they could get, and they got it. Paid out the day after closing.”

A pre-Daytona Sub came in last month with no papers. Six weeks later we had the original owner's name and the dealer that sold it.
