Untrustworthy
I have not had a good experience with this company/person. I purchased a watch from 'The Watch Collector' at the Birmingham watch fair in March. I agreed in good faith to pay extra for a new leather strap and Omega buckle to be sent on afterwards. Unfortunately, it's been 2 months and after repeated emails and calls (which are now being ghosted), the items have not been sent other than an emailed receipt. Other than the money aspect which is obviously annoying, the breakdown of trust in this person is very disappointing and also starts to make you second guess on the quality and trustworthiness of the watch I purchased.

A Genuine Dealer
I have bought a lot of watches from dealers on the Web.I liked the way Tony conducted the sale of the Omega.There was no pressure and made suggestions which saved me money, I was impressed.I will return to him for my next sale, and look forward to getting to know him better.I would certainly recommend The Watch Collector, have a good experience.

Overjoyed at my Tag watch purchase
I bought a limited edition Tag watch from Tony. Brilliant communication, and answered all my questions clearly. I had a few reservations at first, but they soon disappeared as I realised what a genuine business and setup this was. I had a budget in mind, and Tony very kindly helped me achieve it. The watch and corresponding paperwork are absolutely perfect.

Diving into the world of vintage
My 1st dive into the world of vintage watch buying, which I have to say was done with a lot of trepidation, and subsequently a lot of procrastination on my part, however, I’m so glad that I took the leap and it was all down to Tony. If you’re in the market for a vintage watch, I can’t recommend @thewatchcollector high enough. I part exchanged a modern Rolex, the whole process being very quick and easy, and Tony was available to answer any questions in a very knowledgeable way. The only criticism I have is that the images on the website do not do justice to the actual product, my SeaDweller 666 is way better that I expected and it already looked pretty good!! I’ll definitely be back for another watch soon.
