Just noticed the "three day trial" on the Debaufre web site...

I have never seen or heard of that before...here is what they say:

"How do we accomplish this?
We provide you with a Full 3-Days to inspect the watch from the day you receive it (not from when it's shipped) to make sure it satisfies your expectations. If you discover that, for any reason, it wasn't what you expected, contact our Customer Service department via email (return-requests and exchange-requests must be made by email) and you will receive a Return Authorization number for your watch."

I have 3 of these watches and would not even think about returning any of them, but I thought this was pretty cool... Maybe this is more common than I realize, but either way, Good job Debaufre! |>

What would they do with the returned watches? Sell them at discounted price or repack and sell it as NIB?

Just for the record, I just received my first Debaufre, an Ocean 1. I've had a lot of watches, from inexpensive up to about $3000, and this is probably the most value for the money yet. I cannot find a flaw. It's so much more than I expected. I'm sure that occasionally they have some watches get past the quality control person, but I would buy another Debaufre in a second. The "no questions asked" 3 day return policy shows their confidence in the value they are offering...Tom

Good question...I wonder if they do a "sample sale" once in a while or something...

Hey Hary, you got me wondering...I just emailed Debaufre asking this question, and got a reply right away (pretty good for Sunday morning!) and they confirmed that they do have some kind of demo sale once in a while if they have any of these types of used watches. All I can say is the three I have are flawless and great! |>
