If you submit your repair within your warranty period, please be sure to include your completed warranty card or proof of purchase detailing the date and model. For out-of-warranty work, or for work not covered by the warranty, an estimate detailing such costs will be sent to you prior to proceeding with the repair. Chargeable repair work will not commence until we have received your approval. You may authorize Citizen to proceed with the repair by mailing in a check, cash, or money order.
Please note: We are unable to quote exact repair prices via email or telephone until our technicians have had an opportunity to physically inspect your timepiece.
Turnaround time varies by time of year, but generally runs about 8 business days after approval and payment of an estimate. Warranty work will flow through without an estimate and is usually completed within 8 business days after receipt.
