About this piece

A solid 14 karat Franco chain in a 3.5 mm width — the link that sits between a rope and a box chain: square-profile, tightly woven, and flat enough to lie properly against the neck instead of rolling.

Franco links wear far better than a rope of the same weight. The geometry distributes stress across the whole link rather than at a single solder joint, which is why it is the chain that survives daily wear and the reason it holds its value.

Solid throughout — not hollow, not plated. Weight and karat verified in hand at 42 grams.

Condition report

Excellent. Solid 14k throughout, acid- and electronically tested, with the karat stamp intact. Weight verified at 42 grams on a calibrated scale. Links are tight and uniform along the full length with no stretch, kinks or repaired sections. Lobster clasp operates positively and the clasp spring is strong.

We write up the flaws as well as the good. If something is not original or not present, it is stated here rather than left for you to find.

Common questions

Is this piece authentic?

Yes, and it is guaranteed in writing. This piece was bought directly from a private seller in Southern California and verified in hand before listing — acid- and electronically tested for karat, with the weight confirmed on a calibrated scale. If it is ever shown not to be genuine, we refund the full purchase price with no time limit.

Why is the wire price lower than the card price?

Card payments cost us roughly 3% in processing, and we pass that through at cost rather than building it into every price. Paying by bank wire, Zelle or cash on local collection saves you $175 on this piece. Email us and we will send wire instructions the same day.

Can I see more photographs before I buy?

Yes. Ask and we will send additional photographs, the serial number, and a video of it in hand the same day. We would rather you saw everything first — that is cheaper for both of us than a return.

How is it shipped, and is it insured?

Fully insured, signature-required overnight shipping is included anywhere in the United States, dispatched the next business day after payment clears. It is insured for the full purchase price the entire time it is in transit. Local collection in Orange County can be arranged by appointment.

What if it is not right when it arrives?

You have fourteen days from delivery. Have it inspected by any authorised dealer or independent watchmaker you like. If you are not happy, send it back in the condition it shipped and we refund the purchase price in full — there is no restocking fee.

Authentication

How we know it is real.

Not a badge — a process. This is exactly what happens to every piece between buying it and listing it.

  1. 01

    Acquired direct, in person

    Every piece is bought outright from a private seller in Southern California — met in person, never sourced from a marketplace, an online consignor or a broker chain. We know exactly where each watch came from.

  2. 02

    Movement, case and serial verified

    The caseback comes off. Calibre and serial are checked against the reference, the movement is timed, and the case, lugs and bracelet are examined under magnification for polishing, aftermarket parts or replaced links.

  3. 03

    Documented before it is listed

    Condition is written up honestly, including the flaws. Anything not original is stated plainly. If a watch does not pass, we do not list it — we wholesale it as what it is.

  4. 04

    Guaranteed after it ships

    Take it to any authorised dealer or independent watchmaker you like. If a watch we sold is ever shown not to be authentic, we refund it in full — no time limit, no conditions.
