ALL DESCRIPTIONS GUARANTEED, 10-DAY RETURN PRIVILEGE FOR MISREPRESENTATION OR ERRORS. If you have any issues with an item or shipment, please contact us immediately and we will resolve the problem. Our full return policy is found on our website at https://jones-horan.com/help/terms_and_conditions.html
Key to abbreviations: "APW" = American pocket watch | "cal" = caliber | "ct" = carat weight | "ctw" = total carat weight for multiple stones | "DS" = double sunk (for dials) | "dwt" = pennyweight (20 per ounce troy) | "EPW" = European pocket watch | "g" = gram (31.1 per troy ounce) | "GJS" = gold jewel setting(s) | "HC" = hunting case | "hl" = hairline | "hls" = hairlines | "HS" = hairspring | "J" = jewel(s) | "K" = karat of gold quality | "KW" = key-wind | "KWKS" = key-wind key-set | "LS" = lever set | "mm" = millimeter | "mvt" = movement | "NOS" = new old stock | "NR" = not running | "OF" = open face | "PW" = pocket watch | "QS" = quick set | "ref" = reference | "RR" = railroad | "S" = size | "s#" = serial number | "SS" = single-sunk (for dials) | "SW-LS" = stem-wind lever-set | "SW-SS" = stem-wind stem-set | "WW" = wristwatch
"Running" only means that the balance and escapement are performing in healthy fashion and without apparent defect, but does not guarantee timekeeping or warrantee future performance; unless otherwise noted, our timepieces are not serviced by us, and we do not know when they were last serviced from our sources. We do our best to indicate any potential problems or needs for repair.
The Jones & Horan plain English grading system follows this general order from top to bottom for mvts, component parts, metal dials, hands and cases: Mint | Near Mint | Excellent | Fine (the average grade for most used, running watches) | Fair | Poor. We no longer use "good" as a grade as it can be misleading, so it only applies to function (see below). We then describe any salient defects that should be called to the attention of the potential buyer.
With respect to wear, we also use the following terms in order: No wear | Hardly any wear | Very little wear | Little wear | Very light wear | Light wear | Medium wear | Ample wear | Substantial or abundant wear | Worn out. These general terms are used in combination with precise descriptions of defects for further elaboration where needed.
Enamel dials are not necessarily graded, but called "flawless" when free of cracks, chips or hairlines, which are structural and always noted. Surface defects such as scratches, discoloration or graphical defects may be present on a perfect dial, and are noted separately.
The term, "Good," is only used alone to indicate that the watch or its function is doing what it should be doing, as in "good running order, good repeat function and tone, good chronograph and date functions," etc. These functions are not rated or graded. "Good crystal" means without meaningful defect, as does "Good dial."

We will e-mail you an invoice no later than the morning following the sale, if you are a winning bidder. (Please note that these invoice e-mails sometimes end up in "spam" or "junk" mail folders, so please check there if you have not received one.)
We are not set up to accept credit cards directly, despite the fact that the "Payment Methods" tab would seem to indicate so. That is a page that is "an overall Hibid account setting" and cannot be removed, according to the programmers. Hibid is the company that hosts our auctions on their website. If you add credit card information to place it "on file" with HiBid, that information does not transfer to our software after the auction.

Shipping / Pick Up
A SHIPPING CHARGE WILL BE ADDED TO ALL INVOICES, whether domestic or international.
Unvetted NEW BIDDERS should expect shipping delays unless references are provided or payment is made by wire transfer or Zelle.
Pickup in person is welcomed BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. If someone else is picking up for you, please notify us and have that person bring an ID with them to pickup.
By bidding in our auctions, you are agreeing to our terms and policies, including our shipping policies, as outlined here. We are responsible for shipments while with agents for hire as long as the package is shipped according to our policy as outlined in the next two paragraphs. If a bidder requests in writing different shipping arrangements that do not follow our policy (often in attempt by the bidder to save on the cost of shipping), Jones & Horan is not responsible for the purchase once it is scanned into the possession of the carrier and the Jones & Horan return policy no longer applies and is void. (See below “If you request shipping different than our policy.”)
Packages valued over $500: We ship all packages valued over $500 via FedEx Express, signature required, fully insured. (Depending on the country, some FedEx packages are sent via FedEx “Economy” since the price difference is large, and the difference in day of delivery is often only two days.)
Packages valued at $500 or less: Packages valued at $500 or less will be shipped USPS Priority, fully insured, signature required.
Domestic customers: If you desire faster delivery, please notify us immediately. We will add the shipping surcharge for the expedited shipping to your invoice. Once payment is received (including the shipping upgrade fee), we can arrange FedEx overnight shipping.
International Customers: Feel free to contact us for a quote on shipping charges. For shipments valued at $500 or less, we ship via USPS Priority Mail in our own boxes (not flat rate). Where the value is over $500, we ship via FedEx International. IF YOU DO NOT WANT ITEMS SHIPPED VIA FEDEX, PLEASE NOTIFY US WHEN MAKING PAYMENT. We have found FedEx to be the most reliable and safe method to ship higher ticket items and get them through customs. We have also found DHL to be reliable, but our cost for DHL is far higher than FedEx costs. If you would like to provide your own DHL label for shipping, we can work with you. We have also found that when shipping via USPS, in order to have tracking available past the United States border, we must ship in our own boxes, not in the cheaper flat rate USPS boxes. We do not change lot values on international shipping documents.
ALL SHIPMENTS ARE INSURED.
