Very highly recommended
I cannot recommend this company enough. Tony had the the perfect watch for my partners big birthday, and he also went the extra mile helping me get my older and much loved watch repaired. The service has been excellent every step of the way.

Not heard anything from these people
Not heard anything from these people. Emailed 5 days ago and nothing. When the advert doesn't say sold, you purchase said items. Wonder what trading standards will say.

I do apologise if I missed something ,I get a few spam "orders" through which I assume are initiated by an automated system as I prefer not to believe any sensible person would be stupid enough to waste there time or mine by placing orders for items which are clearly previously sold ,marked as sold and have no price listed ,However if you are one of those people then kindly waste someone else's time or if you do find a reputable online dealer giving away £20,000 watches for free then please pass on the details

Couldn't ask for a better service!
I recently purchased a beautiful IWC watch from Tony as a 30th birthday gift for my partner. Tony was so helpful throughout the entire process, and was more than happy to take the time to discuss various makes and models with me before I made my selection. My partner was over the moon with the gift and it made his birthday all the more special. Thank you Tony!

Laco B-Uhr
I'm really glad that I came across Tony and his great selection of quality watches. I have always loved the design of the B-Uhr but was nervous about purchasing such a beast from the likes of eBay. Conversing with Tony gave me the confidence to purchase along with the hi-definition images of the watch. To the naked eye, the condition is even better than expected, despite being 80 years old. Thank you Tony, you have made me happy!
