Model: Credor GCAR966 HAQ

Year: March 2021

Features:

The Collection. The Credor GCAR966 is as accurate as it is beautiful. Released in 2020 as part of Credor’s Signo Collection - meaning symbol or stamp in Latin - the series is designed to epitomise Credor as a brand. It’s immediately clear that this model achieves exactly that.

The Design. A solid 18k rose gold bezel, paired with matching indices, surrounds a glossy black dial. Inside, the ultra-slim and ultra-accurate 8J81 movement powers the watch with an impressive accuracy of ±10 seconds per year. At just 6.9mm thick and 37mm wide, it not only perfectly captures the spirit of Credor but also flawlessly embodies the concept of a dress watch - lightweight, slim, and effortlessly classy.

The Look. For me, a dress watch should be enjoyed in its entirety - no one detail should overpower the watch as a whole. The intricately cut dagger indices play a key role in balancing the 3, 6, and 9 Roman numerals. Typically, baton, stick, or dagger markers are either longer or shorter than the accent numerals, but Credor’s approach of equalising the two creates a harmonious design where no single element steals the spotlight. 

The Value. With a retail price of around $4,500 in Japan, the price I’m offering the watch at today exemplifies how Credor remains significantly underappreciated and undervalued in Western markets. If you’re in the market for a dress watch, this is your chance to pick up a true value proposition.

FAQs

Are your watches authentic?

Everything we sell is 100% authentic.

All of our watches are inspected and verified for authenticity - both inside and out. We have over 15 years of sourcing and collecting rare watches in Japan, which is often considered to be one of the best markets for authentic and fully original vintage watches.

Do you ship globally?

We are based in Japan and regularly ship all over the world. We typically use FedEx and it takes:

  • 3-7 business days to reach North America
  • 3-7 business days to reach Europe
  • 3-7 business days to reach Asia and Oceania.

All of our packages are securely shipped, fully insured, and trackable door-to-door.

What condition are your watches?

Due to the vintage and neo-vintage nature of the watches we typically sell, the condition varies from watch to watch. However, our photos are high resolution and our descriptions are accurate. You can buy with confidence knowing there won't be any nasty surprises.

If the condition of a watch is ever misrepresented, we would offer a full refund.

Are all of your watches serviced?

Most but not all of our watches are serviced. The "Condition" section of each watch will confirm if the watch has been serviced.

All of our watches are tested by an independent watchmaker - if a service is needed, the watch will be serviced. If a service hasn't been conducted, it's because the watch itself is too new to need a service, or there is evidence of a recent service.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept payment by all major Credit Cards and Wise.com

Do I have to pay customs or taxes?

It depends on so many factors, including but not limited to the cost of the watch, the type of watch you've bought (vintage or new), and the import laws of your country. If you're unsure we recommend checking the import laws that relate to your country before ordering.

Are your watches water resistant?

Our serviced watches are typically tested to their original water resistant specifications, but we would never recommend pushing vintage or neo-vintage watches to their depth limits.

What is your returns policy?

Due to the vintage and neo-vintage nature of most of our watches, we do not offer returns under normal circumstances. All sales should be considered final.
