Seller's Story
Thank you very much for visiting our store among the many available.
We specialize in carefully selected "vintage watches," offering unique pieces with a beauty and history that have been cultivated over time.
◯ Regarding Item Condition & Operation
Every watch in our store is individually and carefully inspected, and its operation is verified.
Descriptions of the exterior condition are based on our subjective assessment, focusing primarily on noticeable scratches and damage. Please understand that there may be minor signs of wear typical of vintage (antique) items, as well as slight daily time variations (daily rate) within a range that does not affect everyday use.
We wish to pass these timepieces on to those who appreciate the "unique character of vintage items and the joy of caring for them," which differs from modern, brand-new watches. If you are looking for brand-new quality or are particularly sensitive to minor details, we kindly ask that you refrain from making a purchase.
If you have any concerns regarding the exact accuracy (such as the daily rate), please feel free to contact us via comments before purchasing.
◯ Regarding Size & Measurements
We provide detailed actual measurements, including the watch case size (excluding the crown) and the strap's wrist circumference (inner diameter).
To avoid issues such as "the size does not fit" after purchase, we kindly ask that you measure your own wrist circumference and ensure you are fully satisfied before making a purchase.
◯ Regarding Shipping
To ensure the safe delivery of these delicate timepieces, we pack each item securely using ample cushioning materials. Your order will be shipped via DHL or Japan Post, which includes shipping insurance for your peace of mind.
