How it works
Take Your Time purchase flow
Buying a watch can be quick — peace of mind is worth taking your time.
Whether you already have a reference in mind, or spotted a piece on Chrono24, an overseas site, social media or elsewhere — just send us the model, photos or page link.
Based on your style, budget and requirements, Take Your Time searches our own and global partner networks for the same model under suitable conditions — with a free quote and relevant details.
Saw a watch online? We'll find the same model.
Links and images are for style and condition reference only. We do not purchase the exact listing shown on that site — we source the same model through our own and global partner channels.

Seven steps
Seven steps to buy with confidence
-
Watch consultation
Understand your taste — find a watch that truly fits you
You can share:
- Brand and reference
- Photos, screenshots or page links
- Budget range
- Year and condition preference
- Full set or watch-only
- Other preferences
We'll give an initial analysis and buying advice. Even without a full reference, photos or screenshots are enough for us to help identify the model and clarify your needs.
-
Global sourcing
Find suitable stock of the same model via our global network
Alex searches our own inventory, global partners and specialist channels against your brand, reference, year, budget and condition needs.
We compare year, accessories, appearance, price and source reliability — then share details and a quote reference.
One enquiry. A global watch network.
-
Confirm order
Confirm watch details, price and terms
Once a suitable piece is found, we provide:
- Photos of the actual piece
- Year and reference details
- Accessories status
- Appearance and overall condition
- Price and expected delivery plan
After you confirm details and terms, a deposit locks the order. Typically about 10% of the watch price — the exact ratio depends on brand, model, price and source requirements, and is explained clearly before you order.
-
Professional inspection
Inspection first — handover only after checks are done
On arrival, our professional team inspects the piece against pre-order information, including:
- Authenticity
- Appearance
- Movement condition
- Timekeeping
- Function tests
- Accessories and paperwork check
- Stolen / lost record check
- Water resistance test (subject to year, construction and condition)
No handover until inspection is complete.
-
Transaction protection
If the piece differs from agreed terms, we resolve it before handover
If inspection is clear, we notify you and arrange maintenance or handover next.
If condition differs from pre-order information or agreed terms, we explain the findings clearly and propose options — including sourcing a replacement when needed.
We care about more than closing a deal — you should understand the watch fully, then collect with confidence.
-
Pre-delivery care & warranty
Optional care · up to 12 months warranty
Depending on the watch and your needs, you may choose pre-delivery care or movement servicing, which can include:
- Basic movement check
- Oil service and regulation
- Gasket replacement
- Cleaning and basic finishing
- Other suitable care recommendations
Services are quoted based on the watch's actual condition and explained before work begins.
Without pre-delivery care 3-month warrantyFrom the handover date
With selected care service 12-month warrantyFrom the handover date
If no care service is needed, handover can follow inspection. Warranty coverage depends on the watch and services performed. Normal wear, cosmetic damage, misuse and improper handling are generally excluded. Full terms are explained before handover.
-
Exclusive handover
Confirm the watch in person — then collect with confidence
After final confirmation, we arrange an exclusive handover. In person, you can re-check appearance, functions, accessories and overall condition, settle the balance, and receive warranty details.
Handover options:
- Free delivery meet-up
- Designated Tsim Sha Tsui location
- Other locations as arranged
Once handed over, the watch becomes part of your collection.
