We offer a 14 day money back guarantee on every pre-owned watch that we send out mail order unless otherwise stated. The watch must be returned to us in the exact same condition that you received it. If you are buying an unworn watch, all stickers must be kept intact until you have decided to keep the watch. We appreciate that you will need to try the watch on but we ask that when it is tried on and you take great care not to mark the watch or watch strap. If you return a watch to us and it has been marked, scratched or stickers have been removed we may charge you up to 20 percent of the sales figure, subject to the watches returned condition.
Returns
If you buy a watch from us face to face at our offices and you decide when you get home that you purchased the wrong watch we can offer you a full credit note or an exchange, you must let us know within 48 hours of the purchase.
To be eligible for a credit note or an exchange the watch must be unused and in the same condition. You must also have our sales receipt, box and any relevant booklets and warranty papers, plus watch bracelets links or extra straps.
A refund will be given if the watch is found to be faulty within 30 days after purchase or we can have it repaired for you, under our warranty.
Warranty
All Unworn and Pre-owned watches come with a 12 month guarantee from The Swiss Watch Co. unless stated otherwise.
The watches movement is covered under our 12 month warranty. SWC’s warranty does not apply to damage done by inappropriate use or miss treatment of your watch. We will also not be able to honour the 12 month warranty if a third party has opened up the watch. Please call if you have any problem with your watch within the warranty period.
The warranty does not extend to the watch bracelets, clasps, watch cases, watch glasses, buttons and crowns nor does it cover any damage done to the case and the movement by water or moisture entering the watch because of a handling error.
Our Vintage watches also come with a 12 month warranty.

Condition of the Watches
Our condition classification serves only as a guide as the estimation of the condition of a watch is always subjective. Therefore it may be possible that on rare occasions your view of a condition of a watch may be different to ours.
Unworn - Never worn, protective stickers may still be intact on the watch, however on some occasions they are removed by the original retailer.
Pre-Owned Mint - No marks or very few signs of use. Any marks will be very minute and hardly visible.
Pre-Owned Fine - Some slight surface marks that may be visible.
Pre-Owned Good - Some visible surface marks on the watch.
If we have graded a watch as ‘Pre-Owned Mint’ it simply means that it is in an excellent condition, very minute blemishes or wear marks, it will also normally include the original box and paperwork.
Older watches can be ‘Pre-Owned Mint’ or even ‘Pre-Owned Fine’ if we consider them to be so for their age and again pretty much free from marks.
If a watch is just below this grade then we would just state is as ‘Pre-Owned Good’ it might have a few visible marks on the case of the watch or some marks on the bracelet or bezel, we have notes on each watch so please ask.
We speak to clients regularly to ensure that our grading is fair and a true representation of the watches we sell. When a watch is new it will state unworn in the condition box.
