Returns Policy:
We encourage all buyers to ask questions in detail; we find this very important when purchasing vintage or pre-owned watches.
We do not accept returns for change of mind, damage done to the watch by the buyer, or timekeeping discrepancies. However, please contact us, and we will do our best to cater to your needs.
Goods & accessories are final sale and are not accepted for returns or refunds. However if there is an issue, please contact us, and we will do our best to cater to your needs.
Sourcing Returns Policy:
If we are sourcing a watch and it does not meet your expectations we will accept a return with a 10% restocking fee of the total order value.
We do not accept returns for damage done to the watch by the buyer, or timekeeping discrepancies. Please contact us, and we will do our best to cater to your needs.
Refunds:
We only refund watches that have failure of operation.
For orders with outstanding balances, a 20% restocking fee will be kept if the order is cancelled or voided by the customer.
Postage and insurance will be covered by the buyer, and the watch must be in its original condition when it was sold. Standard refund times are 3–14 business days once the watch has been delivered to us.
Please contact sales@wynnandthayne.com to process a refund, return or exchange.
Wynn & Thayne is pleased to provide a 30-day warranty on all watches that have been listed for sale on our website. The warranty includes mechanical servicing if the watch stops working.
This warranty does not include any polishing or cosmetic changes to the watch. It also does not include any servicing if the watch has changed in timekeeping accuracy, if it has been dropped, physically damaged in any shape or form, or if it has been put under water. While each watch is tested and checked, we cannot guarantee their timekeeping and waterproofness due to their vintage and/or second-hand nature.
Wynn & Thayne is pleased to have a partnership with Auckland International Airport. This allows us to offer tax-free pricing (15%) on select watches when a client is departing Auckland International Airport for an overseas destination.
The client will be required to collect their purchase tax-free within the following 3 months (90 days) from the date on their final paid invoice. Failure to do so legally requires Wynn & Thayne to charge New Zealand GST at a rate of 15% on top of the listed total.
