Refund policy

Refunds & Returns

At Open Link Company, we pride ourselves on supplying quality, authentic luxury watches and providing an honest, transparent service. Due to the high-value nature of the products we sell and source, we operate the following refund policy.

All Sales Are Final

Unless otherwise required by applicable UK consumer law, all purchases are considered final. We do not offer refunds, exchanges or returns simply because you have changed your mind, don't like the fit, or no longer wish to proceed with ownership after receiving your order.

This policy applies to:

  • Watches held in stock.
  • Watches sourced at a customer's request.
  • Special orders.
  • Custom or personalised items.
  • Deposits paid towards sourcing or securing a watch.

Why We Operate This Policy

Luxury watches are often sourced specifically to fulfil individual customer orders. Once a watch has been purchased or reserved on behalf of a customer, significant costs and market risks are incurred that cannot be recovered if an order is cancelled.

In addition, due to the high value of the products we sell, this policy helps protect our business from fraudulent purchases, weekend wearing, component swapping and other forms of misuse that unfortunately occur within the luxury watch industry.

For these reasons, all sales are treated as final once payment has been accepted.

Faulty or Incorrectly Described Items

Your statutory consumer rights are not affected by this policy.

If the watch you receive:

  • has a genuine fault that was not disclosed prior to sale; or
  • is materially different from the description provided at the time of purchase,

please contact us within 48 hours of receiving your order.

We may request photographs, videos or arrange for the watch to be inspected by ourselves or an independent specialist before determining the appropriate resolution.

Where a claim is accepted, we may, at our discretion:

  • arrange a repair;
  • provide a replacement where available; or
  • issue a full or partial refund where appropriate.

Condition

Many of the watches we sell are pre-owned. Reasonable signs of wear consistent with the watch's age, previous use and the condition described within the listing do not constitute a fault.

Customers are encouraged to carefully review all photographs, descriptions and specifications before purchasing. We are happy to answer any questions or provide additional photographs before a sale is completed.

Inspection Upon Delivery

Please inspect your watch immediately upon receipt.

Any concerns regarding condition, transit damage or discrepancies must be reported to us within 48 hours of delivery. Failure to notify us within this timeframe may affect our ability to investigate your claim.

Authentication & Tampering

Every watch supplied by Open Link Company is inspected and authenticated prior to sale. Many watches are recorded by serial number and photographed in detail before dispatch.

Returns or claims may be refused if:

  • the watch has been opened, altered or modified;
  • components have been replaced or removed;
  • serial numbers have been tampered with;
  • the watch has been damaged after delivery; or
  • we reasonably believe fraudulent activity has occurred.

Sourced Watches

When we source a watch specifically on behalf of a customer, any deposits paid are non-refundable once we have begun the sourcing process or secured the watch from a supplier.

Once the sourced watch has been purchased or committed to on your behalf, the order cannot be cancelled except where required by law.

Return Process (Where Applicable)

If you believe your watch is faulty or not as described, please contact us before returning the item.

Unauthorised returns may be refused.

If a return is approved, the watch must be returned:

  • securely packaged;
  • in the same condition in which it was supplied;
  • with all original contents, boxes, papers and documentation where applicable; and
  • using a tracked and insured delivery service if instructed.
