Frequently Asked Questions

Yes.

Every watch offered by Timeless Tastes LLC is inspected and authenticated prior to being listed for sale. We stand behind the authenticity of every timepiece we sell.

Any aftermarket, custom, replacement, modified, or otherwise non-original components known to Timeless Tastes will be disclosed in the applicable product listing or communicated to the buyer prior to purchase.

For vintage watches, components may have been replaced during previous servicing or ownership. Unless specifically represented otherwise, Timeless Tastes does not guarantee that every individual component of a vintage watch is original to the date of manufacture.

No.

Timeless Tastes LLC is an independent dealer specializing in pre-owned luxury watches and jewelry.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Timeless Tastes is not an authorized dealer, agent, affiliate, or representative of Rolex, Tudor, Omega, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Cartier, Hublot, Breitling, or any other manufacturer.

All trademarks, model names, logos, and brand names remain the property of their respective owners and are used solely for identification and descriptive purposes.

Unless specifically described as new or unworn, our watches are pre-owned.

Each listing includes our assessment of the item's condition and identifies notable wear, defects, modifications, missing accessories, or other material characteristics known to us.

Because many watches we sell are pre-owned or vintage, signs of previous ownership and age should be expected.

Condition ratings are general assessments designed to help buyers understand the overall cosmetic condition of an item.

Ratings may include:

• Unworn
• Excellent Pre-Owned
• Great Pre-Owned
• Good Pre-Owned
• Fair Pre-Owned
• Vintage Pre-Owned

Because condition is inherently subjective, buyers should review all photographs, videos, written condition notes, and disclosures in addition to the general condition rating.

We are happy to provide additional photographs or videos upon request.

"Watch Only" means that the sale includes the watch and only the accessories specifically identified in the listing.

Original boxes, warranty cards, manuals, tags, or other accessories should not be assumed to be included unless expressly listed.

"Box & Papers" means that the watch includes some form of original manufacturer packaging and documentation.

The exact contents vary from watch to watch.

Buyers should rely on the specific Accessories Included section of the listing rather than assuming every item originally supplied with the watch is present.

Not necessarily.

Unless recent service history is specifically disclosed in the listing or documented separately, Timeless Tastes does not represent that a watch has recently been serviced.

Pre-owned and vintage mechanical watches may require future servicing or maintenance consistent with their age, condition, and use.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing, Timeless Tastes does not guarantee a particular rate of timekeeping accuracy on pre-owned or vintage mechanical watches.

Mechanical performance may vary based on position, movement condition, service history, power reserve, temperature, magnetism, age, and other factors.

No.

Unless Timeless Tastes specifically provides a written representation regarding water resistance for a particular watch, water resistance is not guaranteed.

We strongly recommend having any pre-owned or vintage watch professionally pressure-tested before swimming, showering, diving, or otherwise exposing it to water.

Not necessarily.

If a watch has been pressure tested and we intend to represent the results as part of the sale, that information will be disclosed separately.

The absence of such a statement means buyers should not assume the watch has recently passed a pressure test.

Yes.

Timeless Tastes considers trades involving luxury watches and jewelry on a case-by-case basis.

Trade value may depend on:

• Brand and reference
• Condition
• Included accessories
• Service history
• Originality
• Market demand
• Current market value
• Liquidity
• Other relevant factors

All trade offers are subject to inspection and final approval.

Yes.

Timeless Tastes purchases watches and jewelry directly from individuals, collectors, and dealers.

We may request photographs, serial and reference information, identification, proof of ownership, service history, warranty documentation, or other information before completing a purchase.

All purchase offers are subject to inspection and verification.

Consignment may be available for select merchandise.

Commission, asking price, insurance responsibilities, possession, payment timing, price reductions, withdrawal terms, and other conditions will be agreed upon before merchandise is accepted.

Yes, subject to approval.

Our standard hold arrangement requires a 20% non-refundable deposit and allows merchandise to be held for up to seven days, unless different terms are agreed upon in writing.

The remaining balance must be paid by the agreed deadline.

Failure to complete payment may result in cancellation of the transaction and forfeiture of the deposit, subject to applicable law and the written terms of the transaction.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, deposits used to reserve or hold merchandise are non-refundable.

Any applicable deposit terms will be communicated before payment.

Timeless Tastes currently accepts:

• Bank Wire
• Zelle
• USDT

Payment instructions should only be obtained through verified Timeless Tastes communication channels.

We strongly recommend confirming payment instructions directly with us before transmitting funds, particularly if you receive unexpected or changed banking or cryptocurrency instructions.

Unless specifically arranged and confirmed by Timeless Tastes before purchase, credit card payments are not accepted.

If Timeless Tastes agrees to accept USDT, the buyer must verify the correct wallet address and blockchain network before transmitting funds.

The buyer is responsible for sending the correct asset using the correct network to the verified address.

Blockchain transactions are generally irreversible.

Customers should never send cryptocurrency to an address that has not been independently verified with Timeless Tastes.

Applicable sales tax will be collected when required by law.

The amount and applicability of sales tax may depend on the transaction, shipping destination, applicable state and local law, and any valid exemption documentation.

Valid resale certificates may be accepted when the transaction legitimately qualifies for resale treatment.

The certificate must correspond to the buyer and transaction and must be properly completed.

Timeless Tastes reserves the right to request additional information or decline a resale certificate if we cannot reasonably verify that the transaction qualifies.

Providing a resale certificate does not automatically make a transaction tax-exempt.

No.

A resale certificate should correspond to the purchaser claiming the exemption and must be used only for a legally qualifying resale transaction.

Timeless Tastes will not knowingly facilitate the use of another party's resale certificate for a personal or retail purchase.

No.

Timeless Tastes will not intentionally falsify:

• Purchase prices
• Customs declarations
• Shipping values
• Insurance values
• Invoices
• Resale documentation
• Transaction descriptions
• Other business records

Domestic orders are generally shipped using fully insured FedEx Overnight service.

Depending on the value and security requirements of a shipment, Timeless Tastes may require delivery to an approved FedEx Hold at Location facility.

Shipping arrangements may vary because of insurance requirements, destination, carrier limitations, weather, security concerns, or other circumstances.

Shipments arranged by Timeless Tastes are insured in accordance with the applicable shipping and insurance arrangement.

Coverage may be subject to carrier, insurer, packaging, delivery, identification, and security requirements.

A signature, identification, Hold at Location pickup, or other delivery verification may be required depending on the shipment.

Often, yes, but not always.

For higher-value merchandise or certain destinations, Timeless Tastes may require delivery to an approved carrier facility rather than a residential address.

This may be required for insurance, fraud prevention, or security purposes.

Address changes after payment are subject to approval.

For fraud-prevention and insurance purposes, Timeless Tastes may refuse an address change or require additional identity or address verification.

International sales may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the buyer is responsible for applicable:

• Customs duties
• Import taxes
• Brokerage charges
• VAT or similar taxes
• Import restrictions
• Destination-country compliance requirements

Timeless Tastes will not intentionally undervalue merchandise or falsify customs documentation.

Timeless Tastes may request government-issued identification or other verification for certain transactions.

Contact Timeless Tastes within 24 hours of confirmed delivery.

If Timeless Tastes confirms that the merchandise is materially different from the applicable listing or documented sales agreement, the transaction may qualify for a return and full refund in accordance with our Returns & Refunds Policy.

A full refund is not automatically available when merchandise is accurately described and the buyer simply changes their mind.

Timeless Tastes may, at its discretion and subject to applicable law, approve a discretionary return.

Approved discretionary returns are subject to a 20% restocking fee.

Examples include returns based on:

• Buyer's remorse
• Change of mind
• Fit preference
• Sizing preference
• Personal preference
• Deciding that the watch is not right for you

Please review our complete Returns & Refunds Policy before purchasing.

No.

If Timeless Tastes confirms that merchandise was materially misrepresented or materially different from the documented sales agreement, an approved return is not treated as a change-of-mind return and the 20% discretionary restocking fee does not apply.

Our standard inspection period for reporting a material discrepancy is 24 hours from confirmed delivery.

Customers should inspect their purchase promptly upon receipt.

See the complete Returns & Refunds Policy for all applicable conditions.

Customers may reasonably inspect merchandise, but an item returned to Timeless Tastes must be in the same condition in which it was delivered.

New scratches, dents, damage, modifications, servicing, polishing, excessive wear, removed components, or other material condition changes may affect eligibility for a discretionary return.

Customers considering a possible return should contact Timeless Tastes before modifying, sizing, or removing links from the bracelet.

Unauthorized sizing or modification may affect discretionary return eligibility.

If links are removed, all original links and components included in the transaction must accompany any authorized return.

If protective stickers, coverings, or similar materials materially contribute to the represented condition of the watch, removing them may affect discretionary return eligibility.

If you are uncertain, contact Timeless Tastes before removing them.

Do not open, service, polish, modify, repair, or otherwise alter merchandise during a potential return period without prior authorization from Timeless Tastes.

Unauthorized third-party work may affect return eligibility.

Certain individually negotiated transactions may be expressly designated Final Sale before payment.

A Final Sale designation does not eliminate rights or remedies that cannot legally be waived, including remedies that may apply if merchandise was materially misrepresented.

Manufacturer warranty coverage varies by brand, warranty date, region, documentation, prior ownership, and manufacturer policy.

The presence of a manufacturer warranty card does not constitute a representation by Timeless Tastes that the manufacturer warranty remains active, transferable, or enforceable.

Customers should verify manufacturer warranty eligibility directly with the applicable manufacturer when warranty status is important to their purchase.

Unless a specific Timeless Tastes written warranty is expressly included with a particular transaction, customers should not assume that an additional written Timeless Tastes warranty is included.

If Timeless Tastes offers a written warranty with a particular item, its coverage, duration, exclusions, and claim procedures will be separately disclosed.

Known aftermarket, custom, modified, or non-original components will be disclosed when identified.

Examples may include:

• Aftermarket dials
• Custom diamond settings
• Modified cases
• PVD or DLC treatments
• Aftermarket straps or bracelets
• Replacement components
• Other material modifications

We make reasonable efforts to accurately describe known modifications.

Where polishing or refinishing is known and material to the description of a watch, Timeless Tastes may disclose it.

However, because many pre-owned watches have passed through multiple owners, dealers, or service centers, historical polishing cannot always be conclusively determined.

Unless expressly represented otherwise, buyers should not assume a pre-owned watch has never been polished.

No, unless specifically stated in writing.

Vintage watches may have undergone decades of service, repair, refinishing, or component replacement.

Timeless Tastes will disclose known material replacement or aftermarket components, but we do not guarantee that every component is original to the watch's original production date unless expressly represented.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, inventory photographs are intended to depict the actual item being offered.

Lighting, camera equipment, screens, display settings, reflections, and photography conditions can affect how colors, scratches, patina, and finishes appear.

The written condition description and disclosed photographs should be considered together.

Absolutely.

We encourage customers to request additional photographs, videos, wrist shots, condition details, or other available information before purchasing.

We would rather answer additional questions before a transaction than have uncertainty afterward.

Customers should communicate with Timeless Tastes only through the contact information displayed on our official website or verified social-media accounts.

Before sending money or merchandise, confirm that you are communicating with an official Timeless Tastes representative.

If payment instructions unexpectedly change, contact us independently before sending funds.
