The vast majority of the watches in our pre-owned inventory were sold to us from original owners rather than things we found online or at trade shows from unreliable sources. The importance of this is that these watches are less likely to be over restored and more likely to be quite original, unlike many of the, “Franken-Watches,” being offered elsewhere. That said, watches are serviced periodically through years or decades of ownership and certifying that every component is original is not possible. When in doubt, we will always try to notate if something seems replaced or modified.
