FAQ

Authenticity

Every watch offered by Reference Room is guaranteed to be authentic. Each piece is carefully inspected prior to sale, with attention given to originality, condition, and overall integrity.

Watches are evaluated by experienced watchmakers where necessary, and any known details regarding condition or past intervention are presented with clarity. The aim is to provide a transparent and accurate representation of each piece, allowing it to be assessed with confidence.

All prices are listed in Singapore Dollars (SGD).

Warranty

All watches are accompanied by a six-month mechanical warranty. This covers internal movement faults not caused by accidental damage, misuse, or external factors.

Due to the age and nature of vintage watches, water resistance is not guaranteed unless explicitly stated. It is advised to avoid exposure to water and high humidity.

As each piece is unique, returns are not accepted for change of mind.
If a mechanical issue arises upon receipt, please make contact within 7 days with supporting photos or videos. Each case will be reviewed and addressed accordingly.
