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

Fantastic service from Vintage Winders

Fantastic service from Vintage Winders. Bought a 1965 Oyster Perpetual and it's fantastic and mint condition. Called almost immediately upon placing the order and the package arrived safely, well wrapped and in a lovely box.

Best online dealer by far. Any questions, just call them and they will answer happily.

Purchase with confidence

The expertise and superb communication skills I experienced from the very initial contact with Vintage Winders was what essentially gave me the confidence to continue communications and eventually purchase a gorgeous piece from them. Totally recommended company

Rolex Datejust watch.

This watch was exactly as described and photographed. Very nice, after a month of owning it I have yet to adjust the time, it's everything you expect a rolex to be and the service was superb arriving within 24 hours of purchase. Highly recommended.

All round fantastic experience

Leon was great: I bought one watch, but it didn’t suit. Not only was he helpful in dealing with the return, he also provided really useful advice to enable me to choose an alternative. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from them again. In terms of the watch itself — amazing. Beautifully presented and in immaculate condition.

This was my first Rolex purchase and…

This was my first Rolex purchase and first dealings with Vintage Winders . The experience of buying through them was excellent.
Leon spent as much time as I needed to talk through the various merits and characteristics of the watches I asked him about . His guidance and expertise enabled me to be very happy with the purchase and the speed of the delivery and service throughout was first class and I am very happy with the watch I bought.
Leon was more than happy to spend time talking not only about purchasing a Rolex but also about the servicing and restoration of a vintage watch I own.
I would be very happy to deal with Leon and his company again .

To be honest I was very skeptical about buying such an expensive item online, I really wanted to go and look at the watch before I bought.

However, I would fully recommend Vintage Winders and Leon - he is extremely knowledgeable and helpful and the watch arrived exactly when he said it would, in perfect condition.

Fully recommended to anyone who is having doubts about buying online.

I searched for months for a vintage watch and having read the many positive reviews regarding Leon, I decided to make an enquiry and subsequently a purchase.

Firstly I was so impressed by the professionalism and speed of response from Leon. He clearly cared about providing a first class service and it was much appreciated.

I decided to purchase a Rolex 1601 Datejust and it arrived on time and its perfect. The watch is just as advertised and in fantastic condition.

I would happily recommend Vintage Winders to friends or family and look forward to another purchase in the future.

Fantastic customer experience

Fantastic customer experience. Leon took a lot of time to talk about what would best suit my needs and to then discuss the watch I had seen on their website. Leon is hugely knowledgeable and a joy to engage with.

I'm delighted with my vintage Rolex. It's exactly as described, is in fantastic condition and keeps perfect time.

I would happily recommend Vintage Winders to anyone.
