Czapek Antarctique Passage de Drake Ice White ‘Stairway to Eternity’

Every watch we sell comes with a guarantee of authenticity. We have a rigorous process of authentication which goes past just the authentication and extends to performance testing of the watch. Following as below are some of the checks we complete on our watches before we sell:

• The watches are sourced from our trusted partner network, most of which are reputed businesses of the industry.
• We inspect the finer details of the watch upon receiving, which includes an in-depth inspection of the dial, the movement and finer components.
• The watch is tested and verified using sophisticated and modern Swiss machines we have available in-house. This includes:
  • Watch movement health check which includes its movement timekeeping/accuracy, amplitude a
  • Upon authentication and examination, a pressure testing is completed to evaluate its water resistance

You are also welcome to authenticate the watch when you receive it from us. Our return policy is that you can return any watch you purchase from us within 01 day if you find any issues or if the watch is not as we described it to be, to receive a full refund.

We are a preowned and/or pre-loved watch dealer meaning that while the watch may be unused, unworn and new in condition, it was previously owned by someone as sold by the factory/flagship boutique of the brand such as Rolex, AP, Patek etc.

We take high resolution and multiple photos from each watch to showcase its true and as-is condition showing the watch from multiple angles. These photos form part of the listing so what you see in our photos, is exactly what you will receive when you purchase from us.

If, when we deliver the watch to you, you don’t find the watch in the condition as we’ve advertised it in, you can return it to us for a full refund — refer to our Returns policy.

The overnight express is the name of the service used. It doesn’t guarantee that you will receive the watch the next day. However, the service does aim to deliver overnight and in most instances, we have delivered watches the next day. The delays on the other hand, are also possible and are not something that we haven’t seen before. We request ordering 3-4 business days in advance to allow for shipping delays, payment delays etc.

We can also arrange for a face-to-face transaction in Perth, WA, provided that you are purchasing the timepiece.

Also, if you are interested in viewing a timepiece that is listed as brand new and unworn, then although we may facilitate an in-person purchase and prior viewing, we will not allow handling of the watch or try-ons – this is to preserve the condition of the watch as true new for its new owner.
