Terms of Service & Legal Notice

By visiting our site and/or purchasing products from Reef Dial, you engage in our "Service" and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions, including all additional policies referenced herein.

1. Governing Law

These Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby we provide you Services shall be governed by, interpreted, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Queensland (QLD), Australia, and the Commonwealth of Australia, without regard to conflict of law principles.

2. Technical Specifications & Brand Clarification

We endeavor to present accurate product descriptions, water-resistance depths, movement calibers, and pricing. Independent Horological Brand Notice: Reef Dial is an independent designer and retailer of marine dive watches and coastal timepieces. Reef Dial is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Seiko, Citizen, Tudor, Omega, Rolex, Doxa, or Baltic. Any comparative references are made strictly for movement caliber identification (e.g., Seiko NH35 / Miyota 9015), lug width compatibility, and consumer guidance. Reef Dial reserves the right to correct any inadvertent inaccuracies at any time without prior notice.

3. Screw-Down Crown Operation, Hot Shower Warning & Saltwater Rinse Advisory

CRITICAL SCREW-DOWN CROWN & WATER RESISTANCE WARNING: To maintain the rated 200M or 300M water resistance of your timepiece, the screw-down crown MUST be firmly screwed all the way down against the case tube prior to any contact with water, swimming, or diving. Never pull out or operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged. Hot Water & Steam Avoidance: Never wear any water-resistant watch in hot showers, saunas, spas, or heated jacuzzis; sudden extreme heat causes metal cases and rubber O-ring gaskets to expand at different rates, allowing pressurized steam to bypass seals and condense inside the movement. Post-Ocean Rinse: Always rinse your timepiece thoroughly with clean, lukewarm fresh tap water after swimming in chlorinated pools or saltwater oceans, and rotate the bezel under fresh water to flush out crystallized salt grains. Reef Dial is not liable for water ingress caused by an unscrewed crown, steam exposure in hot showers/saunas, or gasket failure resulting from unserviced aging seals.
