3.1Inspection & Reporting Windows
- Reporting begins at the carrier-recorded delivery time: delivered-but-not-received within 48 hours; visible transit damage, shortage, or wrong item within 72 hours; other defects and non-defect return requests within 7 calendar days.
- An unboxing video is strongly recommended but not mandatory. Verified defects, transit damage, or wrong items are resolved without deduction, and we cover the applicable return logistics.
- A non-defect return is eligible when requested within 7 calendar days and the watch is unworn with all factory films and seals intact. No restocking fee applies; the client pays inbound return shipping. If films were removed or handling marks exist, acceptance is subject to inspection and a disclosed 20%–40% condition adjustment; the client may decline and have the item returned at their cost.
3.21-Year Movement Warranty
We cover the mechanical movement for 12 months, including timekeeping within our stated tolerance (calibrated to within ±15 seconds/day at dispatch; a warranty claim applies if a piece falls outside roughly ±30 seconds/day in its first year) and power-reserve faults. It does not cover water damage from an unsecured crown, accidental impact, or normal cosmetic wear. Everyday water resistance is for light contact only — not swimming, diving, or showering. Quartz watches are covered for 12 months against verified defects in the quartz movement or electronic components under normal use. Batteries and routine battery replacement are not covered. Battery replacement by a qualified watchmaker does not, by itself, end the remaining warranty. Damage caused during battery replacement is not covered. If a quartz watch is not working on delivery, section 3.1 applies. For a verified in-warranty claim, NCW covers shipping to and from our service facility. Outside the warranty period, the client pays shipping to NCW and NCW pays the return shipment. For a verified warranty claim during the warranty period, NCW covers shipping to our service facility and the return shipment to you. For out-of-warranty repair or service, you cover shipping to NCW; NCW covers the return shipment after service.
3.3Refund Timeline
After a return is received, inspected, and approved, we initiate the refund within 24 hours. Bank and PayPal clearing usually takes 1 to 5 business days; crypto timing follows network confirmation. PayPal returns to the original transaction, bank funds return to the original payer or a verified same-customer account, and crypto returns to the customer-confirmed asset, network, and wallet. We do not refund to an unverified third party. For non-defect returns, only the product amount is refunded; original outbound and inbound return shipping are not refunded.
