We advise that if you are bidding on a watch, you or your agents are completely satisfied with the condition of the lot. We recommend that all watches are serviced after the sale as they are handled throughout the viewing period. Please note that although Bonhams endeavour to include reference to any replacement parts within our Condition Reports we cannot confirm that each individual element of the watch is original or that, if replaced, the replacement has been made using original manufacturer's parts. Les montres sont vendues en l'état. Aucune garantie n'est faite sur l'état de marche des montres et pendules. La plupart des montres ont été ouvertes pour identifier le type et la qualité du mouvement, y compris les montres résistantes à l'eau, il est donc conseillé à l'acheteur de consulter un horloger pour revoir l'étanchéité de la montre. Le changement des bracelets, l'étanchéité, les restaurations, les révisions et les réglages sont à la charge de l'acquéreur. Tout devis de restauration provenant de quelques horlogers que ce soit ne pourra être pris en charge par Bonhams. Watches are sold ' as is '. No guarantee is given as to the working order of the watches and clocks. Most watches have been opened to identify the type and quality of the movement, including water-resistant watches, so the buyer is advised to consult a watchmaker to review the water-resistance of the watch. Strap changes, water-resistance, restorations, revisions and adjustments are the responsibility of the purchaser. Bonhams will not accept any restoration estimate from any watchmaker.
