Refunds & Disputes Policy
We strive to ensure every transaction is smooth and satisfactory. This policy outlines how we handle refunds and resolve any disputes that may arise.

- - Inspection: 2-3 business days after receiving the item
- - Refund initiation: Within 24 hours of approval

Refunds will be issued to the original payment method used at checkout.
Full Refunds
You are entitled to a full refund, including original shipping, when:
- - The item received is significantly not as described

Dispute Resolution
If you have a concern with your purchase, we encourage you to contact us directly before opening a dispute with your payment provider. We are committed to resolving issues fairly and quickly.
- Step 1: Contact us at evan@old.watches with your order details and concern
- Step 2: We will respond within 24-48 hours with a proposed resolution
