Delivery times relating to COVID-19
Please bear with us as we have noticed some delays in standard postal services in a number of countries, because of this please allow a more time for your order to arrive than you would normally. Rest assured team is here to help, but we are asking buyers to allow 7 days for UK deliveries and up to 28 days for international shipments. Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

If you’re still waiting for your order to arrive there are a few things you can check:
- Delivery date – Orders sent within the UK can take between 2-7 days to arrive after the shipping date. International orders can take between 7-21 days and sometimes there can be a delay in customs, so you may find you will need to wait a few more days.
- Delivery address – Have you entered your delivery address correctly? It’s always worth double checking the address you entered was correct.
- Check with your neighbours – Please ask your neighbours to see if they have your order as it may have been delivered to the incorrect address.
- Deliveries to apartment blocks or offices – The delivery address is located in an apartment block or office, it may be worth checking at a reception or similarly, with neighbours or colleagues.
Our standard delivery service doesn’t come with tracking, however, our shipping is very fast. If you have placed an order and you selected the Express option you should receive your tracking number in the following email.

This is because the three digit CVV number you have entered has not been able to match it to the details held at you bank.
The three digit security code is known as the CVV (Card Verification Value) or CVN (Card Verification Number). It is a number that is printed, not imprinted, on your Visa, Mastercard or Bankcard.
Visa, Mastercard, and Bankcard card members can find their CVV/CVN number in the signature area of your card. Your card number should be printed here along with a three-digit number at the end. This is your CVV/CVN number.
If you have seen this error the transaction will have been voided by the payment system, but you may still see them on your bank account. Occasionally the bank you have used to make the payment do not act on the void notification straight away. But you can be assured that the funds haven’t been taken out of your account, but will be on hold until your bank has acted on the void request. If you call up your bank they should be able to see the void request and remove the fund holding.
For security protection the payment system needs to validate the billing address you have entered with the address of the bank card.
If you believe you have entered the correct address it appears it has not been successful, we would recommend to contact you bank who would be able to assist you further.
The other option is to use the Paypal option, please not you do not need a Paypal account and you can use your bank card as your would normally.
Sometimes there can be problems placing the payment for your order, there are a few things you can try to resolve this.
You can try using a different device or browser, this can sometimes solve the problem.

If you still have problem, please, contact our team and we will be happy to help you.
Unfortunately due to PCI data regulations we are unable to take telephone orders.
Our generic curved metal end pieces we sell have not designed to fit a particular watch.
Because the watch case sizes and spring bar hole positions vary on different watches (even with the same lug width), it is difficult to design curved ends that will fit all watches, so there may be some slight adjustment required to get the strap to fit nicely.
Your local jeweller maybe able to help with fitting.
We are re-stocking products all the time, but some times it can be a few months before they are available again, you can sign up for our back in stock notification and we will send you an email as soon as they are back in stock.
Unfortunately we are not able to offer a repair service to products.
The first thing you will need to find out is the lug width of your watch. This is the width of the gap where the strap attaches to the watch head. You If you need some help with sizes, please take a look at our size help page here!
