Our Process
How We Authenticate
Every watch we sell passes a rigorous, multi-point authentication process before it's ever listed. Here's exactly what we do — and why you can trust us.
The Authentication Process
Physical Inspection
Every watch is examined in-hand under magnification. We assess the case, lugs, crown, caseback, and all external components for originality. No relying on photos alone — hands-on, every time.
Dial & Hands Verification
The dial is examined under loupe for printing consistency, correct fonts, original lacquer, and any restoration or tampering. Hands are checked for correct shape, finish, and originality for the reference.
Movement Examination
The caseback is opened where possible. We verify the correct calibre for the model, check for service marks, assess condition, and confirm the movement matches the case and serial number range.
Reference Verification
Every watch is cross-referenced against period catalogues, collector databases, and known-good examples. Reference numbers, serial date ranges, and configuration details are all verified.
Accurate Condition Grading
We apply consistent grading standards. NOS means unworn with no case wear. Old Stock means light patina consistent with age only. We describe every flaw — because our reputation depends on it.
Documentation & Full Set
Every listing includes detailed description of all major components — case, dial, movement, clasp, and any imperfections. If a watch does not include full set, we will mention the included.
