A BUYER’S QC CHECKLIST
QUALITY
QUESTIONS.
Four practical details to review when choosing a watch: alignment, movement, finish and water exposure.
MOVEMENT & TEST RECORDS
Ask which movement is fitted and what was measured. A movement name alone does not establish accuracy or power reserve.
- Exact movement identification
- Dated test results and conditions
- Demonstration of advertised functions
FINISH & CONDITION
Ask for close-ups in clear light, including areas hidden in a front-facing catalogue photo.
- Crystal and dial cleanliness
- Case edges and surface finish
- Bracelet, clasp and caseback
WATER EXPOSURE & DELIVERY
Do not infer water resistance from a dial marking or the genuine model. Confirm evidence for the supplied item and get delivery terms in writing.
- Item-specific water-test documentation
- Confirmed delivery terms
- Written returns and support policy
