How come you have such rare items? Are they genuine?

We have more than 25 years experience.

We acquired the estate of a retiring watch agent who had a major physical store in the 1970s with many New Old Stock items, some were on display while others were kept in storage. 

We have many rare spare parts that many online dealers keep buying. For examples, Tissot Astrolon Bands, we have been the only suppliers worldwide and many sellers mention our store to assure their buyers that the torn band is still available.  

Why do you sell straps without their buckle?

Most of our straps were meant to replace a torn old strap and use the same old buckle that rarely gets damaged over time. For this reason, most of our straps are sold without a mounted buckle.

Please take note of this fact as a few buyers were expecting to get a buckle mounted on the strap.

A few of our straps do have a buckle and we clearly mention it in that case but most of them do not.

 

Why some of your bands are lower quality?

Most of our straps are new old stock ( NOS )  of the 1970s. Some production of the 1970s was lower quality compared to today's advanced manufacturing but this is also what make them special same like older cars are less reliable than today's cars but more valuable to collectors.

Please also note that some fabric do not age well and start cracking. Such items would not be suitable for day to day use. We usually mention that in the listing but would like you to be aware of this fact.
