No. There is still a 4 business day processing time. Once the 4 business day processing time passes, your package will then ship via the expedited shipping method. - Can you ship sooner than the 4 business day processing time?
Due to our sales volume we can not ship sooner, but on rare occasions we may be able to make an exception… but you MUST contact us to make arrangements before payment. Please remember that our normal processing time is designed to make sure all watches leave our facility in the condition as described. We want to make sure every order is processed correctly and without errors. The unintended consequence of rushing an order with a timepiece of this caliber is vulnerable to a higher degree of errors. - Will the package be shipped fully insured?
Yes. All packages are shipped from our facility insured for the purchase amount. - I received my watch and it is not working?
Please email us so we can correct the issue to your satisfaction. Occasionally a rough shipping trip and/or altitude & temperature variations experienced in transit can cause a watch to not run properly. Pressure of trapped air molecules inside the case can cause either expansion or compression on the parts of the movement. Of course, this even happens to brand new watches when the manufacturer ships to an authorized dealer except the adjustments of decompression and calibration are usually made in the store after the package has been delivered. Mechanical timepieces are not made to be shipped due to the fragility and complexity of a movement.
