The Retro Watch Club

Terms & Conditions

Every watch we offer has lived a life before reaching your wrist. From decades-old Swiss classics to iconic Japanese timepieces, each piece carries its own history, character, and individuality. By placing an order, you acknowledge and accept the following terms.

Product Condition

The watch shown in the listing photographs is the exact watch you will receive. We strive to capture every detail as accurately as possible, including signs of wear, dial aging, patina, scratches, or any replaced components. We encourage you to review all photos and descriptions carefully before making a purchase.

Vintage Means Unique

Vintage watches are mechanical objects that have stood the test of time. Unlike modern factory-fresh watches, they may show natural cosmetic wear and slight variations in performance. These characteristics are part of what makes every vintage watch one of a kind.

Accuracy & Performance

All watches are inspected and tested before dispatch to ensure they are in working condition. However, due to their age and mechanical nature, daily timekeeping may vary from a few seconds to some minutes and should not be compared to modern quartz or chronometer-certified watches.

Service & Maintenance

Unless specifically mentioned in the product description, we cannot confirm when a watch was last serviced. Regular maintenance is recommended for any vintage mechanical watch to ensure reliable long-term performance.

Water Resistance

We do not guarantee the water resistance of any vintage watch, regardless of its original specifications. To preserve your timepiece, we recommend avoiding exposure to water, moisture, steam, or extreme humidity.

Originality

We make every effort to accurately represent the originality of each watch. Over the course of several decades, some watches may have received replacement crystals, crowns, straps, or service parts. Any known modifications will always be disclosed in the listing, so please do check.

Straps & Accessories

Unless otherwise stated, straps, buckles, and accessories may be modern replacements. Original vintage straps are often unsuitable for regular wear due to age.

Orders & Availability

Most of our watches are one-of-a-kind. Once a watch is sold, it may not become available again. Orders are confirmed only after full payment has been received.

Returns

Please refer to our Refund Policy for complete details regarding returns, exchanges, and refunds.
