Great company who i found to be honest, open, very knowledgeable and helpful

I sold my Rolex datejust to Bloombar and I have to say it was effortless and very well handled. The initial offer was adjusted for its condition but that was expected so I was happy to trade, and the entire process left me happy with their approach, honestly and general response to my enquiry. I would recommend them to others either to buy from or sell to, overall top notch

Was not sure about buying online.

Was not sure about buying online but did some online research and gave Sam a call.
We negotiated a deal and the watch arrived promptly.
I had been looking for a Zenith doublematic for a long time.Lovely watch and good price.

I had a brilliant experience with Eddie the owner. I met him in his London office. Very professional set up. Great team working with him. Was a pleasure to deal with. He sold my watch. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you.

friendly and professional

Fast and very friendly and competent contact. Great for those who live in the EU: No tax because of their shop in Ireland. Product exactly as described. Shipment: quite fast and very well packed.
So in total a really good dealer that I can recommend. Trustful and I would definitely buy again.

Happy buyer!

Great experience in store today after contacting with Sam via WhatsApp over the weekend.
The team in store were great to chat with, and let me take the time I needed to view and assess the watches I was interested in, including arranging to ship the box to me so I didn’t have to carry it out.

Poor service.

Submitted a part ex interest in a watch via their website (JLC Master Compressor Memovox).
Having heard nothing, after a few days I followed up with a phone call (previous experience with Bloombar resulted in them missing the on line submission). They confirmed they had the message but the right person was on holiday until the following week.
The following week I received a call with a very low offer for my Rolex Explorer 1, so dismissed this and enquired re straight sale price. I have no issue with the low offer, the JLC was on consignment and Bloombar understandably didn’t want my watch.
They suggested a price but I made an offer a couple of hundred pounds less as a starter for 10, hoping to negotiate. I was told they would contact the owner and call me back either later that day or the next.
A few days later I emailed Bloombar to advise I had no contact and express my disappointment with the service received. Sometime later I saw a missed call from them. No message left/no email response. I can only assume the lack of response suggests they have nothing to say.
Being a watch collector I feel this service is poor. If I was the owner of the JLC I would be disappointed.

The go to guys for your next watch!

If you are currently in the market for a watch, Bloombar is the place to go. Sam and the team were extremely helpful from start to finish when purchasing my new Rolex Oyster Perpetual. The watch was exactly as described, if not better. They also offered a super fair price for my 15 year old Cartier Santos in exchange. Nothing was too much trouble, they were extremely professional and really spent the time to get to know me and family, which was a nice touch. There was zero pressure and I felt very relaxed throughout the whole process. You can have full confidence when buying from these guys. I am so impressed and will certainly be back for my next watch. Thank you team!

Absolutely first class

Absolutely first class. Sam responded promptly and accurately to my emailed questions. I was initially concerned about spending a considerable amount of money on a timepiece without seeing it in the flesh. I needn’t have worried!
Extremely pleased with my purchase., and highly recommend Bloombar.

Sold and bought (on the same day)!

I visited to sell one watch and likely buy another they had. The service was extremely professional and I was made to feel welcome and felt zero pressure to sell or buy, which is really important to me when making a significant watch investment.

They were accommodating on the prices for selling and buying, making me feel that we truly had a win-win deal. I have used a few times in the past and will definitely use again when I come to sell or acquire a new piece.

Flawless

Flawless. Really satisfying to find a business that truly looks after you and has the patience to work with you to get exactly what you are looking for. Sam was brilliant.
The aftersales service (to adjust the strap and demonstrate how the watch functions work) has also been exemplary
There really is no other place to buy a watch.

Positive

It's exactly the experience I want to have when it comes to buying valuable stuff and here I found people that make yourself at ease. Furthermore I received a "white glove" service having my watches delivered at home by Sam. Really appreciated!

Great Customer Experience

I found Bloombar Watches a pleasure to deal with. They were efficient and friendly. There was a slight delay due to the Parcel Company, Olly kept me informed and the watch was only a day late.
I am very pleased with both the watch and the service and have already recommended them to friends.
