What this site does not do
- No cookies are set, for any purpose.
- No third-party analytics service (no Google Analytics, nothing equivalent).
- No advertising or social pixels, and no cross-site tracking of any kind.
- No data is sold, rented or shared for marketing — by us or by anyone working with us.
The site's visitor statistics are collected by software running on our own server and stored in a database we control. That is a deliberate choice: it costs us more work than pasting in a tracking snippet, and it means your visit data does not leave with a third party.
What is stored in your browser
Four items, kept in your browser's local storage rather than in a cookie: your cart, your wishlist, an identifier for your chat conversation so the thread continues if you navigate around, and any discount code we have issued you. They are readable only by this site, they are not transmitted to anyone else, and clearing your browser data removes them.
What we record on the server, and why
| What | Why | Kept for |
|---|---|---|
| Page you requested, page you arrived from | To know which references and guides are read, and which pages send people to us. | 180 days |
| IP address, browser user-agent, screen size, timezone, country | To keep automated traffic out of the numbers, and to recognise a returning visitor instead of counting them as new. This is also what lets us tell a genuine enquiry from a bot. | 180 days |
| Chat messages and the email you leave in the chat | To answer you, and to send a discount code if you asked for one. If you never leave an email, all we hold is the message text. | until you ask us to delete it |
| Order details: reference, options, amount, delivery address, QC approval | To build, photograph, ship and support your order — and to honour the two-year warranty and any return. | as long as needed for support and warranty |
Visit records are deleted automatically after 180 days. Chat records are held until you ask for them to be removed. Order records are held longer on purpose: a two-year movement warranty is not much use if the order behind it has been deleted.
Who else sees anything
Almost nobody, and only where it is unavoidable for the transaction itself:
- The courier sees the delivery name and address. That is what shipping means.
- Payment networks. USDT, Bitcoin and PayPal transfers are handled by those networks and providers, and Wise handles bank transfers under its own terms. We do not publish, label or link a wallet address to a name, and payment details are only ever issued inside your own order thread.
That is the complete list. We do not share your email with anyone, we do not run remarketing, and there is no "partners" section because there are no partners.
Your choices
Ask us to delete your data. Message the chat and we will remove your chat records and the email attached to them. If you have an order in progress or inside its warranty period, we will say so and keep what the warranty needs.
Clear your browser storage. That removes the cart, wishlist, chat identifier and any discount code held locally. It does not affect a discount code itself, which lives on our side and is tied to your email.
Ask us what we hold. The same chat reaches the same desk, and we will tell you what is on file for your email address.
One more thing, in plain words
This site sells replica watches, which is why it is careful about what it records: the less that sits on a server, the less there is to lose. That is the reasoning behind the absence of tracking scripts and the 180-day deletion. We would rather write that down than describe ourselves as "committed to your privacy" while loading three analytics scripts.
Privacy questions
Straight answers, no filler.
Do you use cookies?
No. This site does not set cookies at all — not for analytics, not for advertising, not for tracking you across other sites. There is no third-party script on these pages: no advertising pixel, no analytics service, nothing that reports your visit to anyone but us.
What is stored in my browser then?
Four things, in your browser's own local storage rather than in a cookie: the contents of your cart, your wishlist, an identifier for your chat conversation, and a discount code if we issued you one. They are readable only by this site, they are not sent to anyone else, and clearing your browsing data removes them.
What do you record about my visit?
On our own server: the page you requested, the page you arrived from, your IP address, your browser's user-agent string, your screen size and timezone, and — where the network tells us — the country the request came from. We use it to see which pages work, to keep automated traffic out of the numbers, and to tell a first-time visitor from a returning one. These records are deleted automatically after 180 days.
Can you delete what you hold about me?
Yes — ask in the chat. We will remove your chat messages and the email address attached to them. What we may keep is the record of an actual order (reference, amount, address and the QC approval) for as long as it is needed for the warranty and for any dispute, because a two-year warranty is not much use without the order it belongs to.

Every reference is listed with its factory line, reference number and movement — and shipped only after you approve the QC photos of your own watch.
