Dealers Notes

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (because of GPSR legislation, we no longer post items less than 100 years old to Europe, including Northern Ireland).

Please contact us regarding international shipping.

All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.

We are a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.

Credit / debit card purchases up to £300 can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the 'Purchase Antique' button on each listing page. Alternatively, there is a Paypal payment link if you scroll down the page and we also accept bank transfers.

We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Automatic wristwatches from the 1950s feature self-winding mechanical movements powered by the motion of the wearers wrist, housed in refined gold-toned or stainless steel cases with textured dials.

Timepieces from this era typically incorporate gold-plated or stainless steel cases, acrylic crystals, leather straps, and multi-jewelled mechanical internal components.

Authentic pieces display period-accurate typography, patinated or textured dials, jewel count marks stamped on the dial or movement, and functional self-winding mechanical rotors.

A mid-century gold automatic watch serves as a versatile accessory, pairing with formal tailoring, business attire, and classic leather accessories.

Store the watch away from strong magnetic fields and moisture, wind it periodically if not worn daily, and have the mechanical movement serviced every three to five years by a qualified horologist.
