Bracelet Sizing
All leather and rubber straps are self adjusting. Watches with bracelets are dispatched unsized so not to jeopardise the refund & exchange policy and also because they will be more accurately adjusted by a jeweller in your presence. You will find that most jewellery shops can adjust your bracelet while you wait for around £10.

- If you (the Assured) make any claim knowing it to be false or fraudulent in respect of any loss or the amount involved, this claim could be declined and all future claims made under it could be forfeited.
Claims Procedure
Should you need to make a claim under this certificate contact the Jeweller that issued this certificate to notify the loss at your earliest opportunity and within thirty (30) days in any event. In addition, you must ALWAYS notify the police, even when abroad, of any loss caused by theft or the disappearance of any item and obtain a crime reference/lost property number where one is issued, and you must provide the Jeweller (or any person appointed by the Underwriters) with any information, documentation, or evidence of the loss. Failure to comply with these requirements could lead to the claim being rejected.
Your Jeweller will ask you to complete a simple claim form regarding the circumstances of the loss. Your claim will be passed to the Underwriters, and if they decide that an insured loss has taken place and settlement is agreed by the Underwriters, your Jeweller will either replace a lost item from stock or arrange for a damaged item to be repaired and the invoice for repair/replacement will be sent to T H March for settlement direct with your Jeweller.
If you are unhappy with the way your claim is being handled you should follow the procedure shown on page 1 of your insurance certificate to make your complaint.
