Panerai Luminor Marina Carbotech PAM01661

Established in 2008, The Watch Buyers Group is sanctioned by the Pasadena Police Department and licensed through the California Department of Justice to buy and sell watches. Why should this matter to you? Each member of our buying team has undergone fingerprinting and background checks and the serial number and a description of every watch we purchase are uploaded to a Department of Justice-run database. Prior to being listed on this website, all watches have gone through a state-mandated holding period. Purchasing from a DOJ-licensed buyer protects you from making the mistake of buying a watch that was involved in a theft.

The Watch Buyers Group has also built a reputation as one of the most respected independent watch repair locations in the United States having serviced more than 10,000 watches for the public since 2008, so there’s some weight (and value) behind the 1-Year Performance Guarantee we offer with every watch we sell. All watches also come with an Insurance Appraisal and Certificate of Authenticity with your name on it performed at the point of purchase by one of our in-house, NAJA-certified watch appraisers. Insurance providers often require an insurance appraisal to add a watch to a new or existing insurance policy.

BANK WIRE: For the best price, select Pay by Bank Wire. From the shopping cart, you will place a $100 deposit. The watch will then be marked as RESERVED preventing its purchase by others and allowing you 72 hours to pay the balance via bank wire. The $100 deposit is non-refundable but it is applied to the purchase price of the watch. So a $5,000 watch for which a $100 deposit has been made, has a balance due by bank wire of $4,900. After submitting the $100 deposit, you’ll receive a receipt by email that includes all of our bank wire details.

CREDIT CARD: For those preferring payment by credit card, the fees charged by our merchant processor (around 3%), as well as the fee we pay to a 3rd party payment verification company (around 1%), have been added so that the net sale price of this watch remains the same regardless of your preferred payment method.

Preowned Timepieces: The purchase of any Preowned, Vintage, Neo-Vintage, or Mint condition watch can be returned for a full refund of the purchase price for up to 2 weeks from the date of delivery and/or in store pickup. The purpose of this 14-day return period isn’t so that you can wear the watch for a few weeks, rather, the purpose is to afford you the opportunity to try the watch on, to decide if you like it, and to even have it inspected by a local watch professional should you so choose. We fully expect to resell this watch for the same amount if returned. If this watch is returned to us in lesser condition (requires polishing or other repairs prior to being resold again), those expenses and/or the loss of value may be deducted from the refund. This includes any damage that may occur to the watch, its box, or its accessories in transit during return shipping to us. Return shipping to be provided by and paid for the purchaser.

New Timepieces: The sale of any Brand New watch is final, no returns are accepted.

FREE WITHIN THE UNITED STATES: The purchase of any item valued at less than $10,000 will ship via FedEx 2Day Air. The purchase of any item over $10,000 will ship FedEx NextDay Air. Per insurance requirements, packages valued at over $10,000 can’t be shipped over the weekend so any orders exceeding this amount for which payment is received and verified after 2:00 PM on a Thursday will be shipped out the following Monday. An adult signature is required for delivery.

$150 FLAT-RATE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: We ship DHL Express which can arrive in as little as 2 business days, however, this is greatly determined by how quickly the package clears customs. You will be expected to pay any/all duties/taxes at the point of entry into your country before the package is released to you. Taxes vary by country, region, and address, so we won’t be able to provide you with an accurate estimate of your total tax liability, rather, you should research this for yourself in advance of any purchase.
