WHY BUY FROM THEO & HARRIS?
FROM THE CURATOR
Named after the outspoken Rolex authority who loved them before anyone cared, the ‘Buckley’ dial is an absolute prize today. Characterized by its painted (not applied) Roman numerals, it’s a totally distinct, unmistakable rarity.
And this example, a blue Buckley, is the rarest known to have ever been produced.
And of course, it comes complete with a certificate of authenticity and appraisal and is shipped carefully and fully insured via UPS expedited service.
ABOUT THE BRAND
Rolex is arguably the most famous brand in the world when it comes to luxury timepieces. Their brand equity is through the roof, and you’d be hard pressed to find another luxury watchmaker who can make watch geeks and non-geeks alike incredibly stoked. Their quality is second to none, and it makes sense that until this day, when someone thinks about James Bond, Magnum P.I. or Glengarry Glen Ross, they think of Rolex.

FROM OUR CLIENTS
“Buying a vintage or luxury item online can sometimes be a coin toss in terms of the reliability and trustworthiness of the seller, but Theo & Harris has exceeded my expectations both times around.” – Thomas D.

T&H GUARANTEE
Each of our watches, from mid 20th century Omega’s to contemporary pieces from F.P. Journe, are accompanied by documentation of authenticity and appraisal. They’re also backed by our one year warranty, though we do expect careful treatment of all watches and do not cover damage inflicted post sale.
RETURNS
Clients are given a three day grace period after sale to initiate a return, no questions asked. To do so, email office@theoandharris.com for shipping instructions and appropriate labels. All returns that have been shipped and received must be returned in the same condition as when they were sold. Once received, Theo & Harris has 3 days to issue a refund, minus all shipping costs. Also, we ask our watch strap clients to be mindful the edge of their new strap doesn’t rub against the case when the two meet. On occasion, this can result in damage.
