Monsterwatches Reviews 53

There are too many reviews about monsterwatches that can scare the general public. It is correct that communication is limited when you need help, however, it is important to know this is a genuine website. I was personally hesitant to purchase after reading on the internet about delays of delivery and lack of communication.
I took a leap of faith after double checking the item I needed and made a purchase via their payment portal (paypal) which has added protection.

Straight away, automatic acknowledge of payment. Following day, another email stating processing. Two days after this acknowledgement of posting. Then the waiting of the item as it travelled many miles to arrive. In a matter of a week, my item arrived.

My only gripe I would state is that they should use better packaging to protect the item, however, this is my personally point of view. The item arrived fine.

Overall, it is trustworthy. One star less due to poor communication. Improve on this, and it can be a 5 star company.

Genuine review. I just wanted to support Rob, despite him angrily telling me never to contact him again, which is a shame as I probably would of given him more money.

The good: Rob is a passionate Seiko fanboy, very experienced and the work I got from him were great. He sourced a NOS Seiko BFK PVD, fitted a sterile chapter ring, SUN hands, a blue AR double domed sapphire, a new uprated capacitor and blacked out the crown colouring. Everything was perfect and the watch looked fantastic, I was very happy.

The bad: All this took several months! I was ok with this. Remember, a lot of watch nerds are on at least one sort of spectrum and I suspect Rob is no different. I was ao happy with the BFK I asked Rob to mod another watch for me, a Seiko field watch. Shortly after I asked him to do this I cancelled the order via email, he never replied, which is often the case with him. Later on he contacted me to take payment saying he had bought the watch, to which I apologised that I had cancelled via email. He got very upset and told me never to contact him again, despite me proving the email was sent.

He obviously never checked his email, or spam regularly and obviously he could of asked for a deposit up front. It wasn't nice being gaslighted and I felt upset he would never work for me again and bad he bought a watch he didn't want.

So. I can see both sides of the story. If you are non UK / Europe based then Yobokies might be a better bet, but if you in rhe UK as I am and are prepared to wait, several months for a mod! Then personally I would still trust him because the work be did for me was perfect.

Lovely new upgraded heavier bracelet and slim case back has transformed my Seiko 5 which is now looking amazing..... and it only took 1 week to arrive to me in the UK. Excellent.

Nothing worked, the watch never arrived and after 2.5 months I only got my money back. Time and nerves lost, nothing more!

I ordered a watch and a bracelet and he sent a watch with a dial blemish and the wrong bracelet so I had to return both for an exchange.

The whole thing took for 4 months despite him having the replacement items in stock and I returned the wrong ones items within a week or so from initial purchase.

For each one of his responses I had to send three or four follow up mails.

He didn't replace the watch as soon as he got it back and confirmed it was defective despite having one in stock, he just ordered another one from Seiko and then blamed Seiko for delaying his order!

He also didn't ever return the shipping return money nor responded to any mails about it despite him saying that he will include them in cash(!) in the return parcel.

Please do not support this guy, if you have any alternatives.
If you have to get something from him please use PayPal and hope he gets your order right in the first place or be sure there will be trouble!

I've been shopping stuff for years over random sites and I can honestly say this was my worst sales and support experience of all time.

I struggled to get a set of hands which matched the lume on my OEM dial. The ones I bought previously were either too white or too green. Stumbled across Monster watches.eu on a forum and decided to try them out. The hands I received were really well made and were a perfect match. I received them 7 days after ordering and won't hesitate to buy from them again.

15 days after taking my money he decided to ship my order. He has not responded to any of my emails asking why it hasnt shipped. The 1 star reviews are true and he is a terrible vendor to deal with for after support. I regret buying from him and supporting this type of behaviour. Spend your money elsewhere, where they treat you like a human being.

The money is good for them, but they don't bother to send the product within a reasonable time.
Post NL has been waiting for the package to be sent for a week already.I really don't recommend monsterwatches

I purchased a gasket for my SKX007 watch from Rob. We encountered an issue with my local postal service (their fault), but he was very prompt in addressing it. It was a great experience ordering from him.

Bought some parts for my first SKX build, a bezel, a couple of bezel inserts and a few straps. All of them made by the shop. The quality is great. The bezel fits the case -made by Namoki- better than the original Namoki bezel. The luminous bezel insert has a great lume, which matches the original Seiko dial's lume colour perfectly. The straps I bought are also very well made and sturdy.
Truth be told, I had to send a couple of emails in order to make a change in my order, instead of one. However, the ordering process was alright. I was notified when the order was ready to be shipped and I was a given the tracking info automatically.
All in all, I would gladly shop here again.

The seller is a fraud, absolutely no communication, does not respond to emails. lucky so i used paypal and got my money back

Serious seller, order processed very quickly and perfectly matched with my demand, I recommend

I ordered a watch on October 6, 2023. But the watch has not been shipped yet. He does not respond to emails or Instagram messages. How can I reach him? I started to feel uneasy. Can you help me?

I ordered a Seiko snxs79 with a fluted bezel and double dome clear ar sapphire crystal.

It's a beautiful looking watch with no faults or flaws and I am extremely happy with it.

It arrived in the UK quite promptly too.

Would definitely recommend Rob @monsterwatches.

Needed a mix of colours on a set of watch hands. No problem at all got exactly what I was after. Quality is awesome and delivery was super quick. Would definitely use again. AAA service.

Ordered a replacement sapphire for a Seiko I am reconditioning along with a fluted bezel, what can I say?

The clarity of the crystal is perfect, the barely perceivable hue of the anti reflective coating is fantastic and really brings the watch face to life, making the colour of the face vivid and vibrant.

The replacement Bezel is wonderfully made and I would say a better fit than the original Seiko bezel. It is a very tight fit and required a bit of muscle in my crystal press but once seated fits perfectly, if not better than the original.

Great value for money, very happy with my purchases and has really brought my watch back to life.

Cannot recommend this guy enough!

I bought a watch at the start of January 2022, about a week later it arrived; it had no box but was well packed and with all the (warranty) papers filled.

I also made a mistake while filling the shipping address only to realize later after paying. I contact via email to fix it, and got a response in around 15 minutes.

Parts are high quality but he sent the wrong parts.
Communication is non-existant so there i no possibilty to Get the right parts if he sent wrong unless you try ordering again.

I got an excellent produkt from Rob. And i am fully satisfied with the buying experience.

To pay for the product i made an international bank transfer which worked fine.

The costumer responce time is not the fastest, but Rob is an honest seller.

Rob is an expert when it comes to modding watches or in depth questions. Sometime quality takes time, however this is worth the wait. This is not a simple Amazon purchase, Rob does put in the time to get you a high quality piece. Bought a modded SKX007J, turned out stunning!
