What you get, on every watch

  • A genuine Seiko automatic movement. NH35, NH36, NH34 on the GMTs, NH70 on the skeletons. The chronographs run a Seiko VK63 meca-quartz, and we say so on their pages.
  • A sapphire crystal. Not mineral glass. It is the spec cheap builds quietly skip.
  • 316L marine grade steel, case and bracelet.
  • A dial that makes no claim it cannot back up. No certification it never passed. No town it has never been to.
  • 5 ATM, which is 50 metres. Splashes, rain and everyday wear. Not swimming, not diving, however much a watch looks the part.
  • A 1 year warranty on the movement, crystal, case and dial.

Buying from Australia

Prices are in Australian dollars. What you see is what you pay. No conversion at checkout.

Shipping across Australia is free.

Every watch is built to order. Yours is assembled after you order it, not pulled off a shelf. Build and dispatch times are set out in the shipping policy.

Australian orders come to me first. I check the watch, photograph it, and post it myself. If something is wrong I fix it at my cost before it ever reaches you.

The watches are built by our workshop overseas. We say that plainly because you will see it on your tracking, and you should hear it from us first.

The warranty is handled here. One year, and one person answering the email. Not a form.

Why buy from us rather than the other Australian sellers

There are a handful of us. Here is where we actually differ, without pretending the others are bad.

  • We publish the calibre on every watch. If a seller will not name the movement, that tells you more than the price does.
  • Sapphire is standard, not an upgrade. No cheap tier where the crystal quietly changes.
  • We say what the water resistance really is. 5 ATM. Not the number printed on the dial.
  • You get photographs of your actual watch before it ships, if you want them. Ask and I will send them.

Questions Australian buyers ask

Where are the watches made?
They are built to order by our workshop overseas. Rosevari is an Australian business, and Australian orders come to me to be checked and posted before they reach you.

How long does delivery take?
Every watch is built after you order it rather than pulled off a shelf. Current build and dispatch times are in the shipping policy. If you have a date to hit, email me and I will tell you straight whether it is doable.

Is shipping free in Australia?
Yes, on every watch.

Are the prices in AUD?
Yes. Every price on the site is Australian dollars.

What is the warranty?
One year on the movement, crystal, case and dial, handled in Australia.

Are these real Seiko watches?
The movement is a genuine Seiko automatic. The case, dial, hands and bracelet are chosen and assembled by us, and the watch is sold as exactly that: a custom build, not a factory Seiko. Seiko does not endorse or warrant mods, which is why we back it with our own warranty instead. The long answer is in what a Seiko mod is.

What does one cost?
A$289 to $409, and most of the catalogue is $349. The breakdown of where the money goes is in how much a Seiko mod costs.

Can I see one before I buy?
Not in a shop, no. What I can do is send you photographs of your actual watch before it goes out. Ask and I will.
