OMI Jewelry takes pride in the quality of the products we offer.  All watches are shipped in ready-to-wear condition, but there may be subtle differences in the quality of the watches listed on our site.  Please note that condition refers solely to the aesthetics of a watch and not its movement. A watch’s movement will have been tested prior to shipment and will run according to OMI Jewelry standards.
