[BBB link] DeMesy is a member of The International Watch & Jewelry Guild, The Jeweler’s Board of Trade and the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors.

How do I know that what I am buying is genuine? With over 40 years of experience, our experts meticulously inspect every item for authenticity before offering it for sale. We guarantee the authenticity of every item that we sell, in writing.

Is DeMesy an authorized dealer? DeMesy is not an authorized dealer of any of the brands that we sell, which allows us to offer our watches online and at prices substantially less than the manufacturer’s retail price.

Do you sell new watches? Since DeMesy is not an authorized dealer, we use the term “unused” rather than “new.” Our unused watches are just like the ones that you would buy from an authorized dealer, except that the 1 year warranty is through DeMesy rather than the manufacturer.

Do I get a warranty when I purchase a pre-owned watch? Just like our unused watches, your pre-owned watch will have a 1-year DeMesy warranty, with the exception of vintage watches, which have a 90-day DeMesy warranty.

Are the pre-owned watches refurbished? Yes, unless otherwise noted in the description, all of our pre-owned watches are in Iike-new condition with no dings or scratches.

Do they all have certificates/papers from the manufacturer? Almost all of our unused watches have the manufacturer’s papers as well as the box. Many of our pre-owned watches do as well, but the older the watch, the more unlikely it is to have the papers, as they tend to be lost or destroyed through the years. If the item has papers, it will be noted in the description.

Will I get an appraisal? If requested at the time of purchase, appraisals are provided at no charge.

How soon will I receive my purchase? Within the U.S., in most cases, you should have your purchase within 3-5 days. International shipments, due to the carrier and customs, may take 7-10 days or more.
