Watch & Jewellery Collection

Bidder Guide (full Terms & Conditions further below): Unless stated otherwise, watches are not tested for accuracy beyond the noted running status of ticking (and may require servicing) or not ticking. Lots of more than one watch are sold as is and where is without individual inspection or testing of each piece. Jewellery measurements and weights (where available) are included in the final photographs. Stones are not removed for testing unless otherwise noted. Any gemstone identification is an opinion only unless specifically certified. - Buyer's Premium, GST & Payment An 18% Buyer's Premium applies to the hammer price. Hammer prices are exclusive of GST where applicable. GST will be applied in accordance with Australian tax law and itemised on your invoice where required. GST is payable on the Buyer's Premium. Payment must be made within 48 hours of the sale's completion. Payment can be made via bank transfer, Mastercard, Visa or PayPal. - Shipping We ship worldwide. Standard shipping for most small lots is typically $23 AUD internationally and $9.90 AUD flat rate within Australia. Shipping insurance will automatically be added to items exceeding $300 AUD and itemised separately on the invoice. For our U.S. customers, applicable U.S. import tariffs will be prepaid prior to dispatch where required. A 10% tariff recovery fee will be added to the invoice accordingly. Applicable international duties, taxes, or additional import charges remain the responsibility of the purchaser unless otherwise stated. - Paddles on tour We're travelling throughout Queensland meeting clients, uncovering private collections, and sourcing exceptional watches and jewellery to bring to auction. Combined with our recent relocation from the Sunshine Coast to Brisbane, this means the majority of our auctions this year will be conducted online only. While we won't be offering in-person inspections or pickups for these early auctions, this approach allows us to focus on securing outstanding stock and delivering a broader range of lots to our bidders across Australia and internationally. Every lot is photographed clearly and described carefully. If you would like additional photographs, clarification, or further information before bidding, we strongly encourage you to contact us, we're here to help and want you to feel completely comfortable participating. All successful purchases will be shipped promptly and securely. We look forward to establishing a permanent in-person inspection and collection location in Brisbane shortly and will update bidders as soon as that becomes available. In the meantime, we appreciate your support as we expand, and we're excited to bring you some exceptional auctions this year. - Questions & Assistance Should you have any questions, require additional information, or would like further photographs prior to bidding, please feel free to contact the Auctioneer: Email: PaddlesAuctions@outlook.com Phone: 0420 992 380 - Agreement By registering and bidding, you acknowledge and agree to be bound by our full Auction Terms & Conditions available at: https://www.paddlesauctions.com.au/terms-of-use Terms & Conditions By bidding in our auctions, you agree to the following terms and conditions: 1.
