1970’s Gold Rolex renovation happy customer
Sent a vintage gold 1970’s Rolex to be renovated. It had a broken clasp, water damage, scratched glass and didn’t work. Very happy with the watch and the excellent and helpful service provided by Leon. Would recommend Vintage Winders to anyone needing a watch renovation, repair or service. Fantastic service.

Look no further.
I purchased an old Rolex for my wifes birthday but upon receiving it in the post I realised that it was not quite looking as good as I had hoped. I shipped it off to Leon, all of his advice was clear and logical in terms of what would improve the watch, and the finished product was far and beyond what we ever could have hoped. I did think my wife would keep the watch for special occasions given its age and value, but its never off her arm!
Thanks a million Leon.

The only place to buy your dream watch!
It was a joy to buy such an expensive watch from such a great company. I was handled with care and consideration and made to feel so confident with my purchase from Leon who threw in some added extras free to charge. Over the moon with my purchase which was a birthday gift. My other half loves it too. I’ll be back! Thank you Leon :)

I purchased a 1978 Rolex from vintage winders for an 18th gift for my son. Leon’s knowledge and description was outstanding. He even called me and helped me with making sure it would fit correctly so my son could wear it immediately. The paperwork and box that came with it were lovely. Do not hesitate to purchase from Leon’s shop. I would recommend the whole service and hope to return for my daughters 18th
Thank you
