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

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service, I bought a (1967 18ct Gold & Steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust Turn O Graph) for my husband, to add to the collection. How many watches can one person own? Leon made the process very easy, I was concerned it wouldn't be the right watch, it was and my husband is absolutely delighted. Would recommend Vintage Winders and no doubt we will use them again.

I had a very good experience with Vintage Winders. Leon was happy to answer my many questions about the watch itself, the condition, and also buying from distance (having not seen the watch in person). The condition is as good as advertised and the watch looks even better than I'd hoped. The price seemed reasonable compared to London. It gave me comfort to know I had two weeks to change my mind after purchase if ever needed, and that all postage was fully insured.

Vintage Rolex

I decided to celebrate my retirement by buying a vintage Rolex watch from the year of my birth (1953). Having viewed several sites I found just what I was looking for at Vintage Winders. The price seemed reasonable and Leon was very knowledgable and helpful. The watch was dispatched promptly and was exactly as described.
The strap was too long but Leon was happy to take the watch back and fitted a more appropriate strap for me.

I was looking for a very special watch and this site had not one option, but a few.

The people running this site are very helpful and answered all my questions when I called. The watch arrived on time an was exactly as described. They are also much more competitive on prices than the London stores.

Overall excellent service.

I had been searching for a watch from a particular year for some time. When one appeared with vintage winders it was a great price in excellent condition.
Leon and Lynne couldn’t of been more helpful. Thank you very much.

Leon was more than accommodating to my needs, and really took the time to explain the watch characteristics to me, and most importantly was honest in regards to every aspect of the sale.

The watch arrived fast and was even better than I originally expected. It's refreshing to purchase something from a vendor who genuinely has a passion, and cares for the product they are selling. In a smaller world, my partner's dad (who is a Rolex fanatic) actually knew Leon and spoke highly of him, before I even knew of the business - Small world, but also speaking volumes of the type of service and respect Vintage Winders has obtained over the years.

Once more, Leon, I appreciate your time, guidance and speedy safe delivery of the watch.
