Terms of Sale

1. One-of-one availability

Every watch is sold individually. Adding a watch to the bag does not reserve it.

Inventory is reserved only when checkout starts and is held for a limited time while payment is completed.

2. Orders and review

We may cancel or refund an order if payment fails, fraud risk is elevated, shipping information cannot be verified, the watch is unavailable, or the listing contains a material error.

3. Pricing and tax

Prices are listed in US dollars. Sales tax is calculated at checkout where applicable.

Buyer is responsible for any charges, fees, or address issues created by incorrect checkout information.

4. eBay and website timing

Some watches may also be listed on eBay. Website payment marks the watch sold and triggers eBay offer withdrawal.

An eBay order marks the watch sold here and clears any website reservation. If a rare timing conflict occurs between the website and eBay, the website order takes priority and the eBay buyer is refunded or cancelled where permitted by marketplace rules.

5. Descriptions

Descriptions, measurements, photos, service notes, and condition reports are provided in good faith.

Vintage watches can include variations and prior service history that are not always fully knowable.

6. Final sale

All watches are final sale. We do not accept change-of-mind returns or exchanges when the watch was accurately described and delivered as ordered. If it materially differs from its listing, please contact carter@25jewels.com within 72 hours of receipt with clear photographs and a description of the difference.

Contact us before returning a watch. For approved returns involving a material mismatch with the listing, we provide a prepaid, insured return label. Please ship within 14 calendar days after receiving written approval and the label, in the same condition with all included items. The Shipping & Returns policy sets out the full process.

For approved returns that meet the return conditions, we inspect the watch and refund its full purchase price and applicable sales tax to the original payment method within five business days of receiving it. No restocking fee applies. Your bank or payment provider may take additional time to post the refund.

The 72-hour reporting window, return approval process, and return conditions do not limit any rights, remedies, or deadlines that cannot legally be waived. Any mandatory legal requirements take precedence over these terms.
