Crafted Time inspects each luxury watch in our collection. During our inspection process we designate the luxury watch's condition.

The following classifications are meant to help you better assess a watch's condition.

Please note that these classifications are Crafted Time's designation and that the assessment of a watch's condition is always subjective. Buyers and sellers may view a watch's condition differently.

We recommend closely examining the images, especially if it's a pre-owned watch. This helps to avoid potential disappointment resulting from unexpected defects.
