Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How does the bespoke watch sourcing process work?

Simply fill out our request form with the details of the watch you are hunting. Our team will review the reference, check our global inventory and private networks, and return to you with verified options, condition breakdowns, and firm pricing.

Is there a fee to initiate a watch search?

No, initiating a search request with Time Sublime is entirely complimentary. You only pay once we have located a piece that meets your exact criteria and you agree to proceed with the acquisition.

How long does it typically take to source a watch?

Sourcing timelines vary depending on the rarity, production volume, and specific condition of the reference requested. Readily available models can often be located in 24 to 48 hours, while ultra-rare or high-complication pieces may take a few days to a couple of weeks to locate through private channels.

How do you guarantee the authenticity of a sourced watch?

Every watch sourced through our network must pass our strict physical and mechanical authentication protocol. Our watchmaker team inspects internal movement components, case serial numbers, dial integrity, and factory documentation to ensure 100% authenticity and uncompromised condition.

Can I source a watch using a trade-in?

Yes. You can trade in one or more timepieces from your current collection to offset or completely cover the cost of the watch we source for you.

What if I am looking for a specific vintage or discontinued reference?

Vintage and discontinued pieces are our specialty. Our global network includes specialized vintage collectors and international dealers, allowing us to find hard-to-find references with verified period-correct components and authentic provenance.

What happens if the sourced watch arrives and doesn't match the agreed condition?

We operate with complete transparency. Detailed photos, videos, and full condition reports are provided and approved by you before the watch is shipped. In the rare event that a timepiece does not match the agreed-upon description upon arrival, we will resolve it immediately under our customer satisfaction guarantee.

What details do I need to provide to start a request?

Having the specific reference number, preferred metal (e.g., steel, rose gold, platinum), dial color, and whether you require a "full set" (box and papers) helps us narrow down the search quickly. If you don't have exact details, clear photos or descriptions are plenty to get us started.

Do sourced watches come with a warranty?

Yes, all timepieces sourced through Time Sublime carry either the remaining duration of the manufacturer’s original warranty or our own comprehensive internal mechanical warranty for complete peace of mind.

Is shipping insured when my sourced watch is delivered?

Absolutley. All shipments are fully insured for 100% of their declared value during transit, utilizing high-security signature-required shipping methods.
