Seamaster 300 165.024

A very straightforward transaction with Tony. Communication was very good throughout and the watch arrived safely within a day or two of being sent out. The Seamaster 300 is in very good condition and running well following a presale service by Tony’s watchmaker. I would liked to have seen some paperwork relevant to the service that was carried out and think the serial number of watches sold should be documented on the sale certificate that accompanies the watch. Tony did respond to an earlier email requesting the serial number which I will require to enable ordering of an archive extract from Omega. Overall, a positive experience and recommended.

Don't be daunted!

Watch purchasing can be a daunting business, especially when you do not have the opportunity to meet face to face. But Tony was an absolute star. Prompt, straightforward communication and very honest pricing. The old phase, 'buy the dealer, not the watch' really holds true with Tony. I'll definitely be back.

Luxury Vintage Watch Purchasing Made Simple

This is exactly how purchasing luxury high value vintage wristwatches online should be done. Aside from the detailed overview and pictures of the wristwatches, Tony was a very engaging and personable person to deal with over the phone too. He's obviously very knowledgable and passionate about watches and this shines through. The whole experience from initial enquiry to delivery was 1st class with great communication from him and his team throughout.

If you're in the market for a vintage timepiece, this is definitely the place to visit. I'll certainly be back again if something catches my eye.

Really excellent customer service

Really excellent customer service. I can’t recommend Tony and his company highly enough. The watch arrived in record time, and the whole experience was professional and fun and without any stress or pressure. Tony just loves watches. I have a feeling that he probably sheds a little tear every time he packs one up for sale 😂 A very nice company.

Thanks Tony, you have the patience of a Saint

Thanks again Tony for this amazing watch, the 4th one from you in as many months ! In the short time I have known you I have always found your service very personable and second to none. You kindly made the journey over to me on more than one occasion to personally deliver my watches to me and you were happy to come up with several deals to meet my ever changing needs. You have the patience of a Saint ! Wishing you and your business all the very best for the future. Gary R. North Yorkshire.
