Rolex lady date 1960

Leon and his wife Lynn were extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the watch we bought for my wife's 60th. They kept me informed at all times with the progress of the purchase and preparation and servicing of the watch. It arrived in an immaculate condition with all paperwork as promised. I would thoroughly recommend this company to anyone wanting to buy a vintage watch. Thanks again for all your help and advice.

Purchasing this watch was so easy. Leon even called me to check wrist size so that he could alter the strap before sending it out. Thanks very much, a pleasure to deal with and the watch is lovely.

A fantastic experience.

I had a fantastic experience with Leon from vintage winders. He went above and beyond at every touch point, all the way through to my decision and purchase. His advice and knowledge helped me select a dream time piece which was delivered speedily (once i finally made my decision!) and in impeccable packaging. The follow up was also truly robust.

Both myself and my wife have Rolex watches snd buying this 1957 vintage Rolex was made easier with the assistance that Leon & Lynn gave us.
There was no hard sell, we were just made to feel welcome with the owners keen to help and secure ourselves as future clients.
We will keep our eyes’ on their site for future purchases.

Amazing service and product

Amazing service and product. Really happy with the watch it was at least as good as it was described. I am living outside the UK so we had a few payment challenges, the help also here was great and my purchase went through with no issues. Would, and have already, recommended.

Excellent from start to finish, highly recommend Vintage Winders

I was looking for a vintage Rolex and did a lot of research, I was delighted to speak to Leon of Vintage winders who gave me so much valuable information and at no point pressured me into any decisions he was excellent as was the watch I choose from them for my sons 30th birthday. Infact it was even better than I had seen from the photos. In my opinion this company is professional, knowledgeable, helpful and trustworthy. They also provide a highly professional after sales service at a reasonable cost for servicing and repairs etc.

I was very apprehensive about buying an expensive watch from a website, however a telephone conversation with advice from Leon and the deal was done. I needn’t have worried, my watch arrived in pristine condition the following day and I am absolutely delighted with it. I will definitely be using Vintage Winders for my next watch and highly recommend this company to anyone interested in investing in a vintage Rolex, the service provided is first class from start to finish.

Thoroughly recommended and trustworthy

I’m thoroughly pleased with my Rolex from vintage winders. It was my first experience of purchasing a vintage watch and Leon was incredibly kind and helpful answering all of my questions with great patience. The watch arrived next day, immaculately presented, and even once it had arrived Leon still helped me with my follow up questions regarding care for the watch. My whole experience was totally positive, excellent customer service

Excellent Service from Leon

Excellent Service from Leon

The watch was exactly as described and in excellent condition for it's age. Both Leon and I encountered a recent innovation with Worldpay which neither of us were aware, but together we were able to get the transaction completed. Leon was very helpful with the purchase throughout and I wouldn't hesitate to use the services of Vintage Winders in the future.
