Except as expressly set forth in the Conditions of Sale, all watches are sold 'as is.' Condition reports are statements of opinion based on visual inspection and may not include all defects or replacements or those that would be revealed by disassembly of the watch.
Although we endeavor to mention in our descriptions significant defects, needed repairs, WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE DESCRIPTIONS ARE COMPREHENSIVE. We do not warrant any watch to be in good working order or warrant the accuracy of any watch function. Any repairs that might be required are the responsibility of the purchaser.
Please note that Bonhams does not warrant that any component watch part is original or that watch cases have not been altered or replaced, as virtually all pre-owned watches may have been previously repaired and could include replacement parts. A manufacturer's certificate of authenticity is not available unless described in the catalog description of a lot, and a manufacturer's refusal to service or repair a timepiece due to the presence of replacement parts shall not constitute grounds to rescind a sale.
Case screw-backs have been loosened for examination and viewing by Bonhams, and should be resealed by purchasers for water resistance. The dimensions given refer to the diameter of circular watch cases, excluding the lugs (in the case of a wristwatch) or the pendant (in the case of a pocket watch). For watches of other shapes, the corresponding width is given.
