An incredible experience from start to finish!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience purchasing my watch from
Banks Lyon. From the very beginning, the customer service was exceptional. Aziza went above and beyond—her attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Her service was truly second to none.

The whole experience at Banks Lyon left a lasting impression, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company to anyone looking for an authorized Omega Watch dealer and someone looking for outstanding service. Thank you again to Aziza and the team—you’ve gained a loyal customer!

Online Watch Purchase

I recently purchased a timepiece online from this retailer, while located in another part of the UK.

From the very start, the staff (in particular, Aziza) went above and beyond to assist me at every stage. I was consistently impressed by the level of communication, service, and support - which resulted in a highly positive experience for me.

Order was promptly dispatched, and delivered on time/safely.

I would definitely purchase watches from this retailer again and highly recommend to others.

Thanks.

Used their services via the internet and over the phone. Very very happy wth both items and next day delivery. Very helpful and I'm sure if any issues were to arise they would resolve them with the same level of service you'd come to expect from a high end jeweler's. Thank you to the team.

Genuinely fantastic experience

Genuinely fantastic experience from start to finish.
I had been interested in a specific omega that Banks Lyon had in stock. They are based 300 miles from me so communication was via phone and email. Aziza was excellent. Informative, well informed and no pressure. This was hugely reassuring. The watch itself was sent special delivery, fully insured and tracked.
I would have zero hesitation in purchasing my next premium watch from Banks Lyon and it's down to the exceptional customer service. The hand written note upon delivery was the icing on the cake. My eternal thanks.

I had the pleasure of purchasing an Omega Speedmaster from Banks of Lyon, and my experience was nothing short of exceptional. I was assisted by Aziza virtually, and she made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. She was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and went above and beyond to ensure I got exactly what I was looking for. The communication was smooth and efficient, and the watch arrived in perfect condition. I highly recommend Banks of Lyon for their top-notch service and impressive selection of luxury timepieces. Thank you, Aziza, for such a fantastic shopping experience!

Amazing customer service

Amazing customer service! I have had the pleasure of dealing with Aziza when querying about a Cartier watch I was planning on purchasing. The help and guidance has been phenomenal. Purchased the watch straightaway and although the transaction has gone through after 3pm, I have received the parcel the following day. It was very well packaged, lots of padded material in the box to avoid damage during transit and also came with a nice gesture - a few branded chocolates! As for the item itself, impeccable condition as you expect for a brand new item, with all labels and protective plastic covers in place - not to say, the watch is stunning! I have dealt with many well known jewellery stores in the past but honestly, the best experience so far! Transparent, Professional and Quick! Thank you!!

Awful service

Awful service. I am waiting for a repair to two rings which they have had since 8th November. I have been promised it will be 6 weeks...it will be no later than the beginning of this week...etc. I expected better service and I certainly cannot recommend them.

Edit: I have now collected my rings and one has not been resized as requested.

From start to finish it was a great purchase experience. There was no hard sell and all the staff I dealt with were professional / exceptional. I had to have the ring resized and needed it back ASAP for personal reasons and Tom phoned up the goldsmiths to prioritise the ring. It cam back in 5 days instead of 10.

Amazing from start to finish

I have purchased a few watches from Aziza over the years and quite frankly I would not dream of going anywhere else. She has fantastic taste and is always happy to give her advice which I must say has always turned out to be spot on. She is extremely professional and a pleasure to deal with.
I would like to say a massive thank you to Banks and Lyon but especially Aziza, you are awesome.
