Buying Guide

List Price
"LIST PRICE" is the manufacturer's suggested retail price provided to us by our suppliers and/or manufacturers. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Because we sell our merchandise over the internet on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. In addition, manufacturers may use formulas to determine the suggested retail price which may not correspond to what a product actually sells for regularly. "SAVINGS" and/or the "% OFF" shown throughout our site reflects the difference between our price and the supplier/manufacturer provided list price shown on our sites. Because the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount and may want to make an exact comparison for yourself by checking the prices of other internet or local retailers prior to making a purchase.

How can I tell if an item is in stock?
If you are able to view the item and add it to your shopping cart, the item is indeed in-stock. Out-of-stock items cannot be added to a shopping cart.

Do you size a watch before shipping?
We do not size watches. To ensure you have the best fit, we recommend that you take your watch to a local jeweler or watch repair center, where it can be properly sized to the dimensions of your wrist.

Water Resistance

A watch marked as water resistant without any depth indication is designed only to withstand accidental splashes of water. Do not submerge this watch. Watches with higher levels of water resistance are indicated by increasingly higher acceptable levels of depth, which are usually indicated in meters.

Water resistant watches have one of more features to ensure their water resistance: A water resistant watch uses a rubber gasket or "O" ring to seal the case back. A timepiece with a back that screws into the case provides a higher degree of water resistance. The crown or "winding stem" that actually screws into the case or has a protective cap, further increases water resistance.

The following usage recommendations are suggested by the Seiko Corporation of America.

  • Water-resistant to 30 meters (100 feet). Will withstand splashes of water or rain but should not be worn while swimming or diving.
  • Water-tested to 50 meters (165 feet). Suitable for showering or swimming in shallow water.
  • Water-tested to 100 meters (330 feet). Suitable for swimming and snorkeling.
  • Water-tested to 150 meters (500 feet). Suitable for snorkeling.
  • Water-tested to 200 meters (660 feet). Suitable for skin diving.
  • Diver's 150 meters (500 feet). Meets ISO standards and is suitable for scuba diving.
  • Diver's 200 meters (660 feet). Meets ISO standards and is suitable for scuba diving.

Please note that we do not recommend swimming or diving with your watch unless it has a screw-down crown (also known as 'screw-lock' or 'screw-in' crown) and is water-resistant to at least 100 meters.

Automatic vs Quartz

What is the difference between Automatic and Quartz Movements?
The intricate movements on the inside of a watch are the elements that comprise the main timekeeping mechanism. Most wristwatches feature either quartz or mechanical automatic movement inside.

A mechanical watch is driven by a mainspring mechanism inside, which has to be wound periodically and features a series of gear mechanisms. Automatic mechanical watches primarily rely on the movement of the wrist. You do not have to shake the timepiece to keep it running, since the normal everyday moment on your wrist charges the winding reserve. When the watch is removed, the movement will "wind down" in anywhere from 10 to 72 hours, depending on the capacity size of the power reserve. A watch winder is recommended if you do not plan to wear this watch for any duration after the power reserve winds down.

A quartz watch is powered by the battery inside and keeps running when removed from the wrist. The watch features an ultra-thin sliver of quartz crystal that is activated by the battery and predictably vibrates at an extremely high frequency rate, which provides accurate timekeeping movement. The battery in a quartz watch has to periodically be replaced every 1.5 to 2 years.

What is the difference between a self-winding and a manual-winding movement?
The difference between the two movements is the way in which the watch is wound.

Manual-winding watches must be wound by hand every day. Self-winding watches are wound by an internal rotor, which responds to wrist movements.

Self-winding watches usually have a power reserve of at least 35 hours and therefore have sufficient energy reserves to maintain a stable rate when the watch is not being worn (e.g. overnight).

How often should I wind my watch?
In general, you should wind your watch every day. To do this, simply turn the watch crown until it becomes slightly resistant. Some timepieces are extremely delicate, so do not force the crown to turn when you encounter any resistance.

Repair Estimates

What is my estimate about?
Once an item for repair has been received, your watch will be inspected and an estimate will be provided if needed. If the repair has been given an estimate, the repair will proceed once the estimate is paid for.

What steps are taken to service a watch?
While performing a complete maintenance service of your watch, several critical steps are followed to ensure the highest quality repair possible. Once the estimate has been approved, required replacement parts will be pulled from stock or ordered. The movement is removed from the case and is completely disassembled. The movement will then go through a five step ultrasonic cleaning process. Afterwards, the movement is reassembled, precisely lubricated, timed and tested for factory specified accuracy. Next, the case is refinished according to factory standards. Once the case is restored, all of the seals, crown and pushers etc. are replaced with new genuine replacement parts to guaranty specified water resistant standards. The case is pressure tested at this time. Once the movement is installed, your watch will begin the quality-control process which checks for timing accuracy, power reserve and visual aesthetics.

There is condensation on the inner surface of the crystal. What should I do?
Watch with condensation under the crystal needs to be examined by a watchmaker without delay, even if the condensation disappears after a short time.

This is one of the worst things that can happen to a watch. It means that minute particles of water have penetrated the case but the seals are still tight enough to prevent the water from evaporating.

The constant damp atmosphere inside the case is very corrosive and, at worst, can destroy the movement.

My watch has water damage. Can you fix it?
We'll do our best to restore your watch to working condition, but our success depends upon the extent of the damages. Beyond our pledge to put forth our best efforts, we cannot make any promises.

Did I "over wind" my watch?
There's a great deal of misinformation out there with respect to so-called over-winding. Technically speaking, it is possible to over wind a watch, but not through ordinary means. If you continue to force the crown to turn after it stops on its own, then you could break vital internal components. Nevertheless, you would have to do this deliberately as opposed to inadvertently.

Lots of people mistakenly believe that they "over wound" their watches because the watch stopped ticking after they turned the crown. Obviously, this indicates a problem, but the malfunctioning stems from something unrelated to the winding. Older watches may cease ticking after a winding because they haven't been serviced recently. In either case, we'll be happy to rectify the situation!

Repair Status

What is the status of my repair?
Please allow 4-8 weeks upon delivery for completion of repair, If you currently paid an estimate on your repair then please allow 4 additional weeks for completion.
