Authenticity & Condition Disclosure
At B TIME NYC, authenticity, transparency, and professionalism are at the core of everything we do. Luxury watches represent significant craftsmanship, value, and history, and we believe buyers deserve clear and accurate information before making a purchase.
This Authenticity & Condition Disclosure explains how we evaluate, represent, and disclose the watches offered through B TIME NYC. By purchasing a watch from us, you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined below.
Our Authenticity Commitment
Every watch offered by B TIME NYC is represented as authentic and is carefully reviewed prior to being listed for sale. We utilize industry knowledge, market experience, documentation review, and physical inspection to evaluate each timepiece.
We do not knowingly buy, sell, trade, or offer counterfeit, replica, imitation, or unauthorized products. Our reputation is built on trust, and authenticity remains one of the most important aspects of our business.
Unless otherwise disclosed in writing, all watches offered for sale are genuine products manufactured by their respective brands.
New, Unworn & Pre-Owned Timepieces
The luxury watch market consists of many different categories of inventory. Depending on the specific listing, B TIME NYC may offer:
- Brand-new watches
- Unworn watches
- Pre-owned watches
- Vintage watches
- Discontinued references
- Collector-owned pieces
- Limited-production models
Unless a watch is specifically described as brand new, factory sealed, or unworn, buyers should assume that the watch has been previously owned or handled.
Pre-owned watches may naturally display signs of ownership, age, servicing, storage, or wear that are consistent with their history.
Understanding Condition
Condition is one of the most important factors when evaluating a luxury watch. However, condition assessments are inherently subjective and may vary between collectors, dealers, manufacturers, and individual buyers.
At B TIME NYC, we strive to describe each watch honestly and accurately based on our professional evaluation at the time of listing.
Depending on the watch, minor signs of wear may include light surface scratches, hairline marks, bracelet stretch, polishing from previous ownership, handling marks, or age-related characteristics that are common within the luxury watch market.
These characteristics do not necessarily impact the authenticity, functionality, collectability, or value of a watch.
We strongly encourage buyers to carefully review all photographs, specifications, descriptions, and disclosures before completing a purchase.
Product Photography & Descriptions
We make every effort to provide detailed photographs and accurate descriptions whenever possible. Product images are intended to assist buyers in evaluating the overall appearance and condition of a watch prior to purchase.
Because photographs may appear differently across screens, devices, lighting conditions, and resolutions, images should be considered a helpful reference rather than an exact representation of every detail.
Buyers are encouraged to request additional photos, videos, or clarification if they would like further information regarding a specific timepiece.
Original Boxes, Papers & Accessories
The inclusion of original manufacturer boxes, warranty cards, certificates, manuals, hang tags, accessories, spare links, or other items varies from watch to watch.
Any accessories included with a purchase will be disclosed in the product listing whenever available.
Unless specifically stated, buyers should not assume that a watch includes its original packaging, paperwork, warranty card, or accessories.
The presence or absence of these items may impact collectability and market value and should be considered when evaluating a purchase.
Independent Dealer Disclosure
B TIME NYC operates as an independent luxury watch dealer and is not affiliated with, authorized by, endorsed by, or sponsored by any watch manufacturer unless expressly stated in writing.
As a result, manufacturer warranties may not apply, manufacturer service records may be unavailable, and manufacturers have no involvement in transactions conducted through B TIME NYC.
Any statements regarding a watch are made independently by B TIME NYC and not by the manufacturer.
Service History & Replacement Parts
Luxury watches often undergo maintenance throughout their lifespan. Servicing may include movement maintenance, polishing, bracelet adjustments, crystal replacement, gasket replacement, or other repairs performed by manufacturers or qualified third-party watchmakers.
Because many watches change ownership multiple times throughout their life, complete service histories are not always available.
Unless specifically stated in writing, B TIME NYC does not guarantee that:
- Every component is original to the watch as originally sold by the manufacturer
- The watch has never been serviced
- The watch has never been polished
- Factory seals remain intact
- Original factory finishing remains untouched
Any material modifications, known replacements, or notable alterations that are known to us will be disclosed whenever reasonably possible.
Mechanical Performance
Luxury watches are precision mechanical instruments. Performance can vary depending on factors such as age, service history, usage habits, environmental conditions, storage position, and movement design.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing, B TIME NYC does not guarantee specific accuracy standards, power reserve measurements, timing results, or water resistance ratings.
Water resistance can deteriorate over time and should never be assumed regardless of original factory specifications.
Buyers seeking specific performance information are encouraged to contact us before completing a purchase.
Buyer Responsibility
We believe informed buyers make better decisions. Prior to completing a transaction, customers are encouraged to ask questions regarding authenticity, condition, service history, accessories, sizing, functionality, or any other aspect of a watch.
Additional information, photographs, and clarification may be available upon request.
By completing a purchase, the buyer acknowledges that they have reviewed the information provided, accepted the disclosed condition of the watch, and had the opportunity to request further clarification if desired.
