Great and professional service & product

Leon was great and extremely informative in my purchase.

He spent time in sourcing a watch to suit me personally and I love it!

I will most definitely be using vintage winders again and have already recommended to friends & family.

Just acquired a £3,250 Rolex watch from my birth year 1972 and it is no less breathtaking how beautiful this piece looks for its age. Leon has done his magic on bringing this piece to its original state and resized it exactly how I wanted with the number of links on either side of the watch to make the clasp sit where I want on the underside of my wrist. I'm very fussy when it comes to watches being an enthusiast and collector and Leon understands and accommodates for this. I would not hesitate to buy again!

Great service

Sorry to Leon for taking so long to review! I received the watch a few months before my partners 40th as I saw one I liked. Leon was very good about this. Also as I had never purchased a Rolex he was very helpful and knowledge and put my mind at rest. My partner has been using this watch for two years and loves it. So thank you for all your help and for a great watch.

Perfect place to buy vintage watches

I wanted to buy a very special wat h for my husbands 30th and knowing very little about Rolex’s it was extremely reassuring and helpful how knowledgeable Leon was in helping me find the perfect one. I couldnt rate his business any higher. The company is so trustworthy and Puts your mind at ease when worrying with which is best suited. My husband absolutely loved his watch and was the one he wanted, it is so gorgeous and very well maintained. I will buy again in the future from vintage winders. Thanks you

Refreshingly excellent service

It was so refreshing to meet Leon, someone who not only knows his watches so well, provides excellent customer service, and above all someone who does not 'push' watches on you. Thank for the attention, knowledge, and your time; the watch will be treasured 21st present for years to come.

Knowledgeable and Professional .

We wanted to buy a vintage watch as a graduation gift for our son and having narrowed our search down to two or three different Oyster watches Leon gave us unbiased and knowledgeable advice to help us make our decision.
The watch arrived speedily and safely and was exactly as described. My son was thrilled with his watch, the look on his face when he opened it was special .
I would not hesitate to recommend Vintage Winders.

Ruhul Amin

Having read the reviews from other customers I totally agree with them. I noticed most customers mentioned Leon, so I contacted Leon and had a good 9 to 10 questions before making a purchase. Great extensive knowledge and recommendations by Leon, fast next day delivery, secure quality packaging, pictures are precise exactly as we view them online. I have already recommended it to two of my friends who are interested. 10/10

Great from start to finish

Easy to purchase online, came beautifully boxed with a certificate and was spot on with the product description. Also good communication with emails to keep me informed of delivery that was swift and Royal Mail signed for. Would definitely recommend vintage winders to anyone and would buy from them again.

A great experience and a true gent.

Anyone who is in the market for a vintage Rolex needs to start their journey with a visit to the Vintage Winders website and to get in touch with Leon. You will not go anywhere else.

His knowledge and passion in this field are exemplary. It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Even after numerous meetings and hours of chatting.

Even when there was a minor issue that arose, it was dealt with swiftly, professionally and with no objections. Everything you hope and wish for from a company and their customer service.

The whole process just adds to the story of the beautiful watch that I purchased and treasure.

Thank you so much and I wish you all the luck and success in the future. I may be in the market again one day.
