Excellent Experience

It is rare in this industry to find someone like Stef that has the depth of knowledge and passion for the watches he is selling. We chatted over whatsapp, agreed a deal then visited him in his offices where he took the time to show me his stock. I ended up purchasing with him and definitely would do again in the future.

Stefano sourced me my dream watch within a week of requesting it. He’s professional, highly knowledgable, trustworthy and above all a pleasure to deal with. My first, but certainly not my last, dealing with him was a five-star experience from start to finish

He was super profesional and helpful

He was super profesional and helpful. After some slight miscommunication at start, he helped find an amazing piece that I hadnt seen before. Also was very helpful when it came to the logistics of taking delivery given my busy schedule. Its been a month or so and the watch is great!

The vintage watch wonderland

I have been keeping an eye on stefano’s online watch shop for a while and when I saw the perfect watch for me I got in touch. Stefano is a really interesting guy with an encyclopaedic knowledge of watches. I made an appointment to go and see my prospective watch and Stefano made the whole experience so interesting, He gives you the history of the manufacturer and the history of the watch in very comfortable surroundings that make you feel reassured. All in all a great experience and stefano’s vintage watch collection is second to none.

Easy, pleasant & reasonable

I was referred to The Vintage Watch Lad by a friend, who spotted a particular watch and thought I may be interested. I arranged to check it out and packed a few pieces on the off-chance of a part exchange. An hour later, following a pleasant canter through an eclectic and fascinating portfolio, I ended up buying something else and in the process exchanged a few watches I needed to let go. Stefano is a reasonable negotiator and his collection is offered at very reasonable, realistic prices. An easy, thoroughly enjoyable transaction - definitely recommended; I will certainly buy from him again.

Superb service from start to finish

My first foray into the world of vintage watches couldn’t have been made easier. Stefano provides a superb service, is highly knowledgeable, trustworthy and communicative. An absolute pleasure to deal with; I wouldn’t hesitate to buy watches from Stefano again.

Great watch and great service

First time i have used Stefano to buy a watch and it will definitely not be the last. Great customer service throughout and a genuinely nice guy to talk to. I look forward to doing business again in the future!

Top service.

Recently picked up a Speedmaster from Stefano and will now be seeing him for all my watch purchases. Top lad, very knowledgeable, and doing an excellent job at dragging watch trading into the 21st century, if you know what I mean. Thanks again, Stefano, and see you soon for a GMT.

Awesome service!

Stefano is extremely knowledgeable and has the stock to match. Super helpful and flexible when it comes to any situation (I was flying out of the country and didn't have room for the huge box, so he posted it promptly on my return). All in all a great experience all round!

Great experience

I met Stefano recently to view a watch I’d seen online. While that wasn’t the model for me, Stefano - who is clearly deeply knowledgeable - took me through a huge variety of alternative models which led me picking something up that I’m delighted with and likely wouldn’t have without the confidence of Stefano’s expertise.

One of the best.

Bought and sold multiple watches through Stef. Exceptionally trustworthy and some of the best prices you’ll find in the UK!

Top lad

I don’t write reviews. But there’s gotta be an exception when the experience is this good. Top notch service and merchandise from Stefano. I’d recommend him to anyone. Can’t quite get my head around how he managed to source such a clean 16570 with box and papers. Professional, knowledgeable and all around top lad. Will buy again from him.
