Without exception. Authenticity is the absolute bedrock of our business. Every single timepiece that passes through our hands undergoes a rigorous, multi-point authentication and physical inspection by expert watchmakers. We do not deal in replicas, aftermarket alterations, or compromised timepieces, and we back this with an ironclad, full financial guarantee.

Our vetting process mirrors a pre-flight inspection—meticulous and zero-tolerance. Our specialists examine the serial numbers, movement calibration, casing stamps, and accompanying documentation under high magnification to certify that every component is 100% genuine before a watch is cleared for our inventory.

Yes. Every timepiece we source, buy, or sell retains its original, intact factory serial numbers. We strictly refuse to deal in watches with defaced, altered, or missing serial numbers to ensure absolute traceability and legitimacy for our clients.

The majority of our timepieces are delivered as a complete set, including the original manufacturer’s box, warranty papers, and manuals. If a specific pre-owned watch does not include its original packaging or documentation, it will be explicitly and transparently noted in the item description.

Yes. Prior to being listed, every pre-owned timepiece undergoes a comprehensive mechanical diagnostic check. If a watch requires servicing, it is meticulously tuned, oiled, and calibrated by certified watchmakers or brand-specific service centers to ensure it performs to factory specifications.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the product description, all watches equipped with a metal bracelet will include their full complement of original factory links. If you require additional links, please inform our team during your consultation.

Because our luxury inventory moves rapidly, we occasionally utilize high-resolution stock or representative imagery for highly sought-after, identical modern references. However, we believe in radical transparency—you can request actual, high-definition media of the exact timepiece in our custody at any time, or schedule a live virtual viewing with our concierge.

To preserve the structural integrity, manufacturer heritage, and long-term investment value of haute horlogerie, Charis Watch does not offer or support aftermarket watch customization services.

For watches available for immediate acquisition, simply add the piece to your secure digital cart and proceed through our streamlined checkout. For highly exclusive, sourced, or "Price on Request" models, click the inquiry button or contact our concierge directly. We will guide you through the secure procurement process step-by-step.

We accept secure bank wire transfers, all major credit cards, PayPal, PayPal Credit, Venmo, and Affirm for clients interested in tailored financing and flexible payment plans.

We price our inventory aggressively to reflect true global market values. However, we do accept reasonable offers on select models. Furthermore, we are happy to offer optimized pricing incentives for clients paying via bank wire, as this allows us to bypass credit card processing fees and pass those direct savings on to you.

Your security is handled with the highest level of vigilance. Our platform utilizes advanced 256-bit SSL encryption technology to shield your personal and financial information. We maintain a strict privacy policy and never sell, rent, or distribute client data to third parties.

To protect our clients and prevent fraud, all high-value luxury transactions undergo a rigorous payment verification protocol that can take between 12 to 48 hours to clear. As soon as your payment is securely verified by our underwriting team, a formal flight manifest and order confirmation will be dispatched to your inbox.

An order is typically canceled only if our security system flags an unresolvable discrepancy during the payment or identity verification process. If this occurs, our compliance team will reach out immediately to help you clear up the issue or arrange an alternative, secure payment method.

We provide complimentary, fully trackable, and expedited shipping via FedEx for all orders exceeding $500. For maximum security, every single shipment is 100% covered by our specialized high-value transit insurance and strictly requires an adult signature upon delivery. Priority Overnight shipping options are also available at checkout if you need immediate delivery.

Leveraging our background as airline pilots and our extensive travels, we have established an elite, global network of trusted wholesalers, authorized dealers, private collectors, and international trade partners. This cross-continental access allows us to handpick the absolute finest examples available on the global secondary market.

As an independent, non-franchised luxury retailer, we are completely free from the rigid corporate pricing structures, artificial waitlists, and territorial restrictions imposed on traditional Authorized Dealers. This independence gives us the flexibility to source globally at optimal prices and pass those direct market savings on to our clients.

An Authorized Dealer (AD) has a direct contractual tie to a single watch manufacturer, which forces them to sell exclusively at maximum retail prices (MSRP) and manage exclusive waitlists. As an Independent Retailer, Charis Watch operates on the global open market. This allows us to circumvent artificial shortages, source discontinued or rare models, and offer highly competitive market-driven pricing.

We want you to step into your new timepiece with absolute certainty. We proudly offer a signature 24-Hour "Love It or Return It" inspection window. If the watch is not the perfect fit the moment it lands on your wrist, contact us within 24 hours of delivery to initiate a return in accordance with our return guidelines.

To begin a return within your 24-hour inspection window, please contact our support team immediately via phone, text, or email. We will guide you through the security protocols and provide you with fully insured transit instructions to return the watch safely to our facility.

Absolutely. We fiercely stand behind the mechanical integrity of what we curate. Every luxury watch purchased from Charis Watch includes our comprehensive 12-Month Movement Protection warranty, which completely covers the cost of all necessary movement servicing and mechanical repairs for a full year.

Charis Watch operates globally online and services clients locally by appointment. While our digital showroom allows us to serve collectors worldwide, we welcome face-to-face consultations. You can easily schedule an in-person appointment with our team for private viewings, trade evaluations, or order pickups.

Our communication lines are always clear. You can reach our concierge desk directly via phone or text at 801-855-6828, or email us at info@chariswatches.com. We are on standby to assist you with any questions or watch requests.
