I sent my Sea-dweller to Vintage winders for repair and service in July '23. The work was carried out and it was returned and worked for just under 18 months when the automatic mechanism failed. Becau... See more

Leon was very helpful - before, during and after the watch services and repairs. They were a vintage Rolex Oysterdate and a Certina DS-2. He and his team really know their stuff and do a beautiful job... See more

Rolex watch purchased from Vintage Winders

I found Vintage Winders advert on the Internet, contacted the company and organised a visit to view a collection of their watches that I had handpicked from their website.
I travelled someway for the viewing and found the visit well worthwhile and to be recommended. I chose one watch out of a fantastic collection of which I am very happy with. Vintage Winders are a professional company, with great product knowledge and are to be strongly recommended if you’re looking for a Rolex watch.

Great service from a professional company..

Great service from a very professional company. Vintage Winders clearly know there stuff when it comes to vintage Rolex watches and were more than happy to speak to me over the phone and answer any questions I had before buying the watch. The watch arrived the next day and was in excellent, almost brand new condition, with paperwork provided by vintage winders.
I would recommend vintage winders to anyone looking to buy a Vintage Rolex and would certainly buy from them again in the near future.

Proud new owner of a vintage timepiece.

After considering new Rolex and Omega watches, I spoke at length on the phone to Leon regarding wearing a vintage Rolex on a day to day basis. A week later after meeting Leon in person, I am the proud owner of a gorgeous lovingly restored 1978 Oyster Perpetual Date which is better looking and has more character than any modern equivalent.

I would thoroughly recommend Vintage winders to anyone who is considering investing in a Vintage Rolex.

Very easy to use website, lovely people to deal with.

Very easy to use website. Good choice of some lovely Rolex.. Had a good chat with Leon, he knows his stuff. He's always ready to guide you, passing on some tips for the novice collector like me.
The Air King I bought was just as I expected if not better. It arrived on time as promised and was very well packaged.
I will buy from Vintage Winders again, always looking to see their new arrivals

Great service and great quality watches

I can highly recommend Vintagewinders (especially Leon) for the purchase of any vintage Rolex. Not only are the quality and condition of the watches of a very high standard but the service provided by Leon is outstanding. No question is too much and you see that he is very passionate about his business and his watches.

Leon provided fantastic customer …

Leon provided fantastic customer service from start to finish! He was prompt in his response and provided appropriate suggestions to help me choose the right watch for my husband's 50th Birthday. At our meeting, he took the time to answer my numerous questions and provide reassurance on the providence of the watch. I bought not only the watch but an appropriate original Rolex box and a Watch winder based on his recommendations. My husband was delighted with the watch and I would certainly recommend Leon/Vintage Winders to any individual looking to purchase a vintage Rolex.

Vintage Rolex Datejust

The quality of the vintage datejust I purchased was impeccable. Leon was very knowledgeable and couldn't be any more helpful. The whole experience was excellent and I would highly recommend Vintage Winders to anyone without reservation.
