BUYING PROCESS

For the first time, you can now have a complete overview of all the luxury watches available in the South African market. Our team are here to help you make an informed purchase. Since there are many pitfalls in this market, we are stepping up to protect you! We do not want you to lose money by buying an inauthentic or stolen product. Our inspection processes are thorough to ensure that you get the Luxury Watch you paid for.

  1. Select your watch from our listings.
  2. You will receive an email to confirm your order once we have concluded with the seller.
  3. Pay via EFT to Watches 24 escrow account.
  4. We will receive and inspect your watch for authenticity and timekeeping.
  5. Receive your watch via insured courier with an authenticity certificate.
  6. Approve your purchase.

INSPECTION PROCESS:

Once we have received payment for a watch, we will collect the watch for final inspection. If the watch passes our inspection, it will be delivered to the buyer. In the case where the watch does not pass inspection, we will discuss repair cost with the seller and deduct this amount from the seller if he agrees. Where no agreement can be reached, the seller will receive his watch back and the listing will be removed. The buyer can choose a different watch or receive a full refund.

Our inspection process includes but are not limited to:

We do not deliver any watches which do not meet our high standards.

When a watch is ordered from an APPROVED DEALER, the watch may be shipped to you directly from the dealer.  Only REPUTABLE AND TRUSTED dealers will receive APPROVED DEALER status on our platform.  We require dealers to have an in-house qualified workshop and watchmaker in order to qualify for this badge.  We require these dealers to inspect all watches according to the same high standards which we apply in our approved workshops.  Furthermore, you will receive a 12 month guarantee if you purchase a watch from an approved dealer.

BUYER OBLIGATIONS

When you buy a watch, you are committing to the purchase as soon as the seller accepts the sale, and you will be required to initiate payment within the specified time period.

BUYER PROTECTION VIA SECURE ESCROW

An escrow is a contractual arrangement in which a third party receives and disburses money for the primary transacting parties.

Once you have received your watch, you will have 24 hours to inspect and approve your purchase. The seller will only be paid 24 hours after you have received your watch.

An approved dealer may require payment before delivery according to their own terms and conditions. This is standard practice for the dealer network on a global scale. If you have selected a watch from one of these dealers, this process will be discussed with you before we request payment.

Any disputes need to be reported to [email protected] within 24 hours to be covered under our buyer protection policy.
