A story about accessories that are surprisingly unknown.
Vintage watch accessories include:
①Genuine box
②Genuine belt
③Warranty
etc. may be included.
Furthermore, regarding some Cartier products in our store,
④Manufacturer repair statement
⑤Lifetime warranty
There are also rare items that come with a .
Sometimes I get asked, "Do you have any accessories?"
This time, I would like to introduce you to "vintage watch accessories".
Regarding the original box in ①...
If it is a used item (from 2000), it often comes with a box that is in good condition...
When it comes to vintage and antique items, there aren't many beautiful ones...
Even if it comes as an accessory for a watch, it may have quite a few stains, so
Honestly, I'm not happy to receive it (lol)
At our store, we also provide genuine boxes in good condition as a service.
Basically, we deliver our watches in our original watch boxes so that they can be used for a long time.
Regarding the genuine belt ②...
If it comes with a genuine leather belt, it is usually a used item.
In most cases, the back side is quite dirty, so we never wear it unless it's dead stock.
Our store has a rich lineup of leather belts, including Italian-made Morerato and Japanese manufacturer Cassis.
We provide a service to install what you like.
Metal bracelets are more durable than leather belts, and can be washed and refinished.
Even if it is vintage, if it comes with a bracelet that is in good condition, you can continue to use the bracelet for a long time.
Regarding the warranty in ③
Some vintage watches also come with a warranty from the time.
The manufacturer's warranty only lasts for 1 to 2 years from the date of purchase, so it is of course not valid.
If the warranty has expired, it's just a piece of paper, but when I look at the location and month of the store where I purchased it,
Huh, I wonder if I bought it on my honeymoon in Guam (lol).
It was purchased at Cartier in Paris... I wonder if it was worn by a French person.
You can get that kind of information (lol)
By the way, we offer a 6-month warranty on all our products.
You can rest assured that we will take responsibility for maintenance even after the warranty has expired.
From here, we will talk about Cartier products.
Regarding ④ Manufacturer repair details
As the name suggests, it is attached to products that have undergone a complete service at Cartier.
Complete service means replacing the machine with a new one.
This is a service unique to our store, and some watches are repaired at Cartier.
At our store, we list it as "manufacturer repaired".
A repair statement issued by Cartier is included and is warranted by Cartier for two years from the date written on the statement.
In addition, if parts need to be replaced,
In some cases, the dial, hands, crown, glass, etc. may be replaced at Cartier.
The repair bill will state that the item was replaced.
Occasionally, we sell complete services with dial replacement, hands replacement, and glass replacement.
Even though it looks vintage, it's brand new.
Regarding ⑤, perpetual warranty
Comes with a rare, phantom "lifetime warranty"
This is a special warranty that Cartier only attached to some models from the 1980s.
Surprisingly, you can receive the complete service for free forever.
Cartier's unique and extremely generous service at the time, which is unthinkable now (lol)
When you purchase a watch, you don't have to worry about future repair costs if you have this lifetime warranty.
This warranty can be used forever, so you can pass it on to your children and grandchildren in the future.
Watches that come with this warranty are rare, so there are probably many people who don't know about it.
However, the price of the watch is higher than that without a lifetime warranty.
Being able to use it for a long time without worrying about future repair costs is a unique privilege.
If you look at it like this, it would be better if it came with various accessories! I tend to think that,
As for the box and the original warranty (not valid), there is no problem at all even if you don't have it.
Rather, the warranties and services that can be used now are more important.
At our store, we place the utmost importance on ready-to-use warranties, service, and peace of mind.
Warranties and services that can be received now are much more meaningful than focusing on accessories.
The above is about "vintage watch accessories" that are surprisingly unknown.
Please use this as a reference when looking for a vintage watch.
