How do I cancel or change my order?

We always aim to process orders as fast as possible, however if you need to amend/change/cancel your order, then get in touch with us at hello@molequin.com as quickly as you can and we’ll try and make those changes before your order leaves.

Why was my order cancelled?

There are a number of reasons that this could happen and it is usually because the item purchased is out of stock and our stock management system didn’t update in time.

We do also sometimes have no choice but to cancel an order when our carrier UPS determines your location as too remote to deliver to. This is rare but it does happen.

Returns & Refund Policy

Returns & Refund Policy 

 

Our policy lasts 14 days. If 14 days have gone by since your purchase, unfortunately we can’t offer you a refund or exchange.

 

To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and unworn and the same condition that you received it. If a strap is fitted to a watch and then worn, even a few minutes, this is considered worn and will crease the strap making it unsaleable and unreturnable.

 

Several products are exempt from being returned. Made to Order (MTO) products cannot be returned. 

 

To complete your return, we require a receipt or proof of purchase.
There are certain situations where only partial refunds are granted: (if applicable)
* Any item not in its original condition, is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to our error.
* Any item that is returned more than 14 days after delivery
Refunds (if applicable)
Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund.
If you are approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment, within 30 days.
Late or missing refunds (if applicable)
If you haven’t received a refund yet, first check your bank account again.
Then contact your credit card company, it may take some time before your refund is officially posted.
Next contact your bank. There is often some processing time before a refund is posted.
If you’ve done all of this and you still have not received your refund yet, please contact us at hello@molequin.com.

Spring bar guide

 

 

We now offer a very useful service for our customers which is the supply and fit of Quick Release Spring bars (QRSB) to all of our straps. If you’re not used to fitting straps to your watches on a regular basis then this will make the process much easier.

 

You won’t need a tool to fit or remove a strap. If you are fitting one of our straps to a modern piece it’s unlikely that the watch will have drilled lug holes, so you will need a specific tool and even with a tool it’s quite difficult to do and easy to damage the strap and more importantly the watch case.

 

The strap can be removed by sliding the nub to the left with your fingernail and the reverse for fitting the strap to your watch. We can offer this for 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22mm straps.

 

You can select the option at checkout and we’ll make sure that your strap is supplied and fitted with Quick Release Spring Bars before it’s shipped.

Buckle Guide

It may seem that a buckle is simply a way of fastening a strap to your wrist and you wouldn’t be wrong. However, the time, money and man hours spent on buckle design and development can prove to be worth all the effort. For a buckle can completely change how a strap and watch feels on your wrist.

 The Premium Buckle

It’s a precision buckle, machined from 316L surgical grade stainless steel.  While not considered a precious metal, it is much more durable than silver or platinum.  This durability is due to a chromium coating that is chemically bonded to the steel.  The invisible coating protects the steel underneath from oxidation (tarnishing and rusting).  It also protects against scratching by taking the inital impact of a scratch and then resealing itself. This process, called passivation, is the spontaneous formation of a hard non-reactive surface film that prohibits further corrosion. The quality and finishing of the buckle is breathtaking and compliments our range of straps perfectly.

 

 

 The Polished and Brushed Gold Buckle

 Our standard buckle in stainless steel has been a part of our offering for nearly four years. We offer it as standard with all of our straps. We’re now delighted to offer this fabulous buckle in both Polished and Brushed Gold (plating).

Over the years we’ve been asked by more and more of our clients for gold buckles to compliment gold watch cases. So this was a long time coming, but the final result is a beautiful piece of hardware.
