Important Conditions of Sale for Watches Please note: As many of the timepieces are old, or their history is unknown, Dunbar Sloane offers no guarantee as to mechanical condition or condition of seals etc. A timepiece described as ‘fine’ or ‘as new’ is an opinion as to appearance only. All watches are sold as viewed. It shall be assumed that all buyers have inspected the lots and that they are happy with them in all respects. Watches cannot be returned on the grounds that repairs or service have been carried out, or parts (including straps or bracelets) have been supplied, by anyone other than the named maker. Notwithstanding the foregoing condition, named wristwatches are sold on the basis that the movement (or movement and case where both would normally have been manufactured by the named maker) were manufactured by the named maker. It is recommended that the buyers have watches serviced promptly to ensure that damage does not arise from faulty seals or any other aspect of mechanical condition.

MAGNIFICENT & FINE JEWELLERY INCLUDING LOOSE STONES & THE ROCCABELLA COLLECTION FINE JEWELLERY Independent Gemmological Reports and Valuations Valuations are made available to customers for two primary purposes. Firstly to provide an independent opinion as to the quality of the stones and metals comprising the piece, and Secondly so that buyers can, if they wish, obtain suitable Insurance cover immediately upon purchase and prior to delivery. A valuation for insurance purposes represents a calculated replacement cost allowing for maximum retail margins, such that an Insurer can assess the outer limit of their exposure to risk. It does not represent actual new retail replacement as it makes no provision for competitive trade practice, or for discounts obtained by individual bargaining. As fashion, desirability and current market forces all have variable impact on second hand or Auction value, there is no direct formula for estimation of such value by interpolation from Insurable value. As currency exchange rate and spot metal prices have a marked effect on jewellery valuations, buyers should note the date and prevailing economic factors at the time that the valuation was produced. Once all the prevailing parameters have been established, it is possible for an experienced person to interpolate a rough estimate of the current cost of manufacture from past insurable value, but again that exercise will give no indication of actual market forces. Buyers should also note the stated purpose of the valuation (insurance, retail market, cash value, estate division etc). All valuations remain opinions and are not matters of fact. Whilst Dunbar Sloane staff will assist buyers to understand the methodology and technical details of gemmological reports and valuations, buyers must make their own assessment of an item's value before bidding. Dunbar Sloane, its consultants and employees make no representation or warranty regarding any outside opinion, valuation or certificate of any item on offer. Please note: Where gemmological reports are available these should be read together with the catalogue description. Should there be, through error, omission, or introduction of better evidence, any significant difference between the catalogued description and that provided in the gemmologist's report, it shall be assumed that the buyer has inspected the report and is buying in acceptance of it. Unless otherwise stated, all stones have been assessed for weight, colour or clarity mounted and the descriptions given in the catalogue or report are therefore based on estimates which are limited in accuracy. Where an actual weight is given the stone will have been weighed loose, however while the grading of a stone loose will minimise error margins it shall be accepted buy the buyer that all reports and descriptions remain opinions and not matters of fact.
