Les montres sont vendues en l'état. Aucune garantie n'est faite sur l'état de marche des montres et pendules. La plupart des montres ont été ouvertes pour identifier le type et la qualité du mouvement, y compris les montres résistantes à l'eau, il est donc conseillé à l'acheteur de consulter un horloger pour revoir l'étanchéité de la montre.

Tout devis de restauration provenant de quelques horlogers que ce soit ne pourra être pris en charge par Bonhams. Watches are sold " as is ". No guarantee is given as to the working order of the watches and clocks.
