Amazing watches sensibly priced.
I was apprehensive when buying online but please feel secure when dealing with this professional, Tony was known by my local jeweller who vouched for him and he didn’t disappoint! I purchased an immaculate watch for a fair price that arrived beautifully packaged with my receipt.
I will be recommending Tony and his company in the future and would feel totally secure purchasing another watch from him.
Thank you again for all your advice and reassurance Tony.

Seamaster Chronostop
I received my Omega Seamaster Chronostop (pulsometer dial) expeditiously, and in absolutely beautiful condition. I’m pleased to note that despite its 53 years of age, it is keeping impressively accurate time. It functions perfectly and is a joy to wind and to use daily. The pictures, while appreciated, could not have done justice to this exceptional piece. Thank you!

Email communication could be better
My watch was priced well and arrived in good condition, but email communication was disappointing. I sent two emails (3 weeks apart) asking for clarification about import fees and didn't receive a response to either one.
Update: Tony, your response says "as I explained", but that is simply not the case. I sent two emails asking about import fees and you never replied. The amount wasn't huge and I didn't mind paying, but would have appreciated a response.

Superb !!
Fantastic watch, actually better than the photos. Took a watch I wasn’t wearing anymore in part exchange, all in all a pleasure to do business with & a real nice knowledgeable guy. Couldn’t be happier with this new purchase and I’ll be using the watch collector again.
