Q: Do you always carry stock locally?

  • All pre-orders are paid in full or in part. It will be clearly stated in the watch description and can vary depending on the brand and/or model.

Q: What's the usual ETA on pre-orders?

  • Each pre-order is unique in terms of delivery time. It will be clearly explained for each watch what the ETA is. Be aware that ETA is indeed "Estimated Times" therefore they are NOT guaranteed. We do our best to give a longer ETA to take into account possible delays (which are literally the norm for micro-brands) but longer times can and will happen.

Q: What's your refund policy?

  • All sales are FINAL, whether it's a pre-order or in-stock item. Applicable Laws of Alberta, Canada regulates our Sales Terms, not the originating country of the purchaser.
