Speed of delivery more than good. The watch meet description to a tee, only way it could have been better if the watch was free. But that’s just being greedy, more than happy with the total experience... See more

Saw a watch and decided to send a text message to enquire about it. Was kept up to date and the watch was in amazing condition and at a great price. Thank you to Birth Year Watches for their excellent customer service. If I need a watch in the future, I will not be looking elsewhere 5*****

Great watch and super quick delivery from UK to Australia. Fourth purchase!

I have been a collector of vintage watches for many years. Buying from the UK when living in Sweden implicates an extra 22% plus import tax. Which makes it expensive, but still your watch is worth it to me. Impeccable and beautiful. Thank you.

Fast delivery. Item exactly as described if not in better condition than expected for something so old !

I had a fantastic experience with BirthYearWatches. I needed some complicated shipping arranged so the package would arrive at a specific time at my hotel, and Scott was incredibly helpful. He answered all my questions, handled the logistics smoothly, and was informative, kind, and great to work with. I’m always a bit nervous buying pre-loved items, but I felt completely safe and confident with BirthYearWatches. I would highly recommend them.

The watch is great and as expected. The delivery was quick.

The watch I received was in very poor working condition. It runs over -10 minutes a day with very high beat error and low amplitude. The watch is not wearable without service. Unfortunately I did not take the time to test the watch before the very short return / warranty period expired. The watch would have been returned if I had. I will not buy another watch from them.
I understand that vintage watches can sometimes develop problems unexpectedly, and I appreciate the seller’s response. However, their reply didn’t meaningfully address the underlying issue or offer any constructive resolution. It came across as procedural rather than customer-centric, focused mainly on the fact that the warranty had expired rather than on the problem itself.
This experience suggests that the return and warranty periods may be too short to catch mechanical faults that only appear with use. For future buyers, I would strongly recommend testing any watch immediately upon arrival to ensure any issues are identified within the allowed time frame.

This is my primary site for purchasing vintage watches within strict type and price boundaries .
All have been exactly as shown and described.

Another excellent experience with Scott and BirthYearWatches. I found the kind of watch I had been looking for a while and the communication/ customer care was top notch as always! The watch also arrived well packed and I like the new little personal touches like the detail on the inserts and the key ring too.
I’ll have to remember to fax you my enquiry next time Scott 😉
Best wishes,
Steve B

I've purchased numerous watches from BirthYearWatches now and every one of these purchases has been exactly as described and exceeded my expectations.
Scott is a great person to deal with as well.

My sincerest apologies for taking so long to write a review.
The watch I ordered was for my brothers 40th, and your photos & videos did not do justice.
This is my 2nd time buying from you, and, as I said in my 1st review, I would be back.
Thank you so much for the prompt delivery, and more importantly, for facilitating the incredible present I was able to gift.
Anytime an important birthday looms over my horizon, your website is my first thought.
Thank you so much.

As a collector of vintage watches I buy a lot of watches. Birthyearwatches are one of the good guys. An absolute breeze to deal with.

An excellent idea for the marketing of vintage watches and extremely well executed!
I would highly recommend this site for the present-hunting spouses amongst you.

Order went smoothly—watch came with a separate clasp (original was engraved) and they were nice enough to put the clean one on the watch. Came with all the apporpriate documentation—-and professionally presented. Would but again from this company.
