Payment notes
Two pages on wristaficionado.com — the payment-methods page and a page titled "BitPay Instructions" — carry the same single sentence: "Wrist Aficionado uses BitPay which allows you to access your digital wallet at checkout." Nothing about coins, limits, discounts or networks. Everything a stablecoin buyer needs therefore comes from BitPay: an invoice with a locked rate for fifteen minutes, a menu of assets that as published includes USDC, USDT, DAI, PYUSD, USDP, GUSD and EURC, and a network choice across Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon and Solana. On a watch priced in the tens of thousands the network fee is irrelevant; what matters is matching the network you send on to the one the invoice shows. Expect BitPay to ask for identity verification at this price level.
Refunds
Not documented for crypto payments. Wrist Aficionado publishes a refunds policy for its sales generally; BitPay settles to the merchant in dollars, so a refund would be issued by the dealer in its own way rather than reversed on chain.
Stablecoin refunds are outbound payments a merchant chooses to send, not automatic reversals. There is no chargeback.
Wrist Aficionado’s crypto documentation is one sentence long, and it is the sentence that matters: the checkout uses BitPay. Everything else follows from the gateway.
What that means in practice
BitPay’s invoice, BitPay’s menu, BitPay’s fifteen-minute clock. The published menu includes USDC and USDT along with five other stablecoins and six networks; the dealer neither confirms nor narrows it, which is why the badge says “may vary” and why The 1916 Company, which does name USDC and USDT, carries a verified one for what is probably the same gateway configuration.
Where
Three showrooms in hotels and townhouses — Manhattan, Miami Beach, Beverly Hills — and an online shop. The payment pages describe the online checkout; whether a showroom sale can be settled the same way is not stated, and on a purchase this size it is worth asking before you visit.

Verification
Payment availability may vary Verified September 2026
Crypto payment is confirmed, but the exact coin list is not fixed — it can depend on your country, the product, which checkout you reach, or which assets the merchant's payment gateway currently enables.
The dealer's own pages name BitPay and nothing else — no coin, no limit, no network. The stablecoin and network lists are therefore BitPay's published ones, cited as the second source, and the status is "may vary" for that reason, the same treatment as CyberGhost, Vast.ai and Hero Bullion. We did not run a checkout. Showroom addresses are from the site footer. The payment pages do not state whether the option extends to in-store sales.

Added to directory
Added after confirming BitPay on the dealer's own payment pages. Coin list is BitPay's.
Limitations
- The dealer names no coin. The stablecoin and network lists are BitPay's and can change without the dealer's page changing.
- BitPay identity verification applies above BitPay's thresholds, and a dealer selling five-figure watches will have its own checks.
- The dealer's pages do not say whether BitPay is offered in the showrooms as well as online; the record assumes the online checkout only.
- Delivery coverage is not stated on the payment pages; the record assumes US customers.
