Please read them before placing an order. Our Returns and Refunds Policy, Privacy Policy and any product-specific terms shown before purchase also form part of the contract between us.

Our watches

We sell new, unworn, pre-owned and vintage watches. The applicable condition will be stated in the product description.

Unless we expressly state otherwise, 5and20to is an independent watch dealer and is not an authorised retailer, agent or representative of the manufacturers whose products we sell.

References to brand names, model names and trademarks are used only to identify and describe the products. All trademarks remain the property of their respective owners. 5and20to is not affiliated with any watch manufacturer, any opinions or views stated are that solely of 5and20to Limited

4

Authenticity and provenance

We inspect the watches we offer and take reasonable steps to verify their authenticity, identity and lawful provenance.

Each watch is sold with the boxes, papers, warranty cards, accessories and service documentation specifically identified in its listing or sales description. Items not expressly included should not be assumed to form part of the sale.

Manufacturer warranty cards may be:

  • Dated and activated;

  • Undated or unstamped;

  • Previously registered;

  • Outside the manufacturer’s warranty period; or

  • Unavailable.

The applicable position will be stated in the product description where known. A manufacturer may decline warranty service where a watch was not originally supplied through its authorised distribution network. Any separate warranty provided by 5and20to will be clearly identified before purchase.

5

Pre-owned and vintage condition

Pre-owned and vintage watches are not represented as being factory-new unless expressly stated.

They may show wear, polishing, patina, age-related deterioration or previous repair. Components such as the dial, hands, bezel, crown, crystal, bracelet, clasp or movement parts may have been replaced during the watch’s life.

We will disclose material information known to us, including significant replacement components, missing accessories and notable condition issues. Minor marks may not always be individually described where they are reasonably consistent with the stated age and condition.

Photographs form part of the product description. Screen settings, lighting and photographic processing may cause colours or finishes to appear slightly different in person.

The stated year may be based on warranty papers, serial-number information, service records or information supplied by a previous owner. Unless expressly guaranteed, an indicated year should be treated as an informed estimate rather than a confirmed manufacture date.

6

Timekeeping and water resistance

Mechanical watches may gain or lose time. Performance can be affected by age, position, temperature, magnetism, power reserve, servicing history and how the watch is worn.

Any timekeeping figure we provide describes the result of our test under the stated conditions and is not a guarantee that identical performance will continue in every environment.

Water resistance deteriorates over time and may be affected by ageing seals, servicing, impact or use of the crown and pushers. Unless we provide a current written pressure-test result, you should not assume that a pre-owned or vintage watch remains water resistant to its original rating.

Damage caused by water ingress is not covered by a voluntary warranty unless the watch was expressly sold with a current water-resistance guarantee covering the circumstances concerned. This does not affect your statutory rights where the watch was misdescribed or did not conform to the contract when supplied.

7

Product availability

All watches are subject to availability. A watch may be advertised through more than one sales channel and could be sold before our website is updated.

If an ordered watch is unavailable, we will notify you and refund any amount paid without undue delay.

A product being shown on our website does not guarantee that it remains available or that we will accept an order for it. We will update the website as soon as possible after a watch is sold.

Prices

sourced watches

Where we agree to source a particular watch, the model, condition, expected contents, target price and sourcing period will be recorded in writing.

Describing a standard watch as a “special order” does not by itself remove a consumer’s statutory cancellation rights.

Cancellation rights may be restricted for goods genuinely made to your specifications or clearly personalised. We will tell you before accepting the order if we believe such an exception applies.

12

Delivery

5and20to will pay the cost of delivery and insurance to get any purchased watch to you.

All deliveries require a signature. We may restrict delivery to the billing address, an approved address or the verified payment holder.

You are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address and for ensuring that an authorised person is available to accept the parcel.

Responsibility for the watch passes to you when it is delivered to you or to a person you nominated to receive it. Where you independently appoint a carrier that we did not offer, responsibility may pass when the watch is handed to that carrier.

If delivery is delayed or unsuccessful, please contact us. Nothing in this section limits your statutory rights regarding late or failed delivery.

13

Bracelet sizing and alterations

Bracelet sizing is available only where agreed. All removed links will be supplied with the watch unless otherwise stated.

Sizing can leave minor tool marks or handling marks despite reasonable care. We will remain responsible where the service has not been carried out with reasonable care and skill.

Bracelet sizing does not automatically remove a consumer’s statutory cancellation rights. However, where the customer has damaged the watch when altering the bracelet. which  reduces the watch’s value will affect the amount refunded where permitted by law.

Engraved, materially modified or clearly personalised products may be excluded from change-of-mind cancellation rights where the legal exception applies.

15

Returns and cancellations

Your rights to cancel an online or telephone order, return a watch and receive a refund are explained in our Returns and Refunds Policy.

In summary, consumers purchasing at a distance normally have 14 days after delivery to notify us that they wish to cancel, followed by another 14 days to return the watch.

The Returns and Refunds Policy forms part of these terms. If there is any conflict, your statutory rights take priority.

There is no automatic change-of-mind right for a watch inspected and purchased in person, although we may offer an exchange or credit at our discretion.

16

Faulty or misdescribed goods

We are under a legal duty to supply goods that conform to the contract.

A watch supplied to a consumer must be:

  • As described;

  • Of satisfactory quality; and

  • Fit for any particular purpose made known to us.

What constitutes satisfactory quality takes account of relevant circumstances, including the watch’s age, price, description, disclosed condition and whether it is new, pre-owned or vintage.

Consumers may have a 30-day short-term right to reject goods that did not conform to the contract when supplied. After that period, rights may include repair, replacement, a price reduction or final rejection.
