I had a great experience with Watch Chest. I bought a rolex datejust black diamond at a good price and when i was ready to move on they bought it back from me at a fair price.

Don't be nervous buying watches online

Don't be nervous buying watches online! I was skeptical at first when my wife found a website that had the vintage Rolex she was looking for, as I was used to doing these transactions in person. After some research and convincing though, we had a terrific experience with Chris and Cody at the Watch Chest and got exactly what we were looking for and more. Such a great experience and they were so flexible with our needs. Thank you!

These guys were awesome

These guys were awesome! They were able to send videos of the watches so I could see it in multiple lights before purchasing. They worked closely with me to find the perfect gift for my wife. She loved it at first sight. The price was awesome! Can’t say enough good things about the team at watch chest.
I was very nervous about making such a large purchase of a Rolex online, and they made it so easy. I will absolutely purchase from them again.

Great Experience, I highly Recommend

I've never been so happy with a watch purchase. From start to finish my experience with Watch Chest was courteous and professional. Chris Wiley is a Class Act. He answered all my questions, walked me through the entire process, and most importantly, got me the watch that I wanted. I was lucky to find him, and he is the only person I'll ever call for future purchases and services.

It should also be noted that I had lines out with 2 other watch dealers that couldn't find what I was looking for, and Watch Chest found it in less than a day. Chris seems to be highly connected in this industry, and you would be lucky to have found him.

The BEST Rolex Servicing!!

I sent in my Rolex Explorer II to Watch Chest for professional servicing. It was running fine, but it was due in for a service, plus the bracelet had gotten worn looking. Watch Chest took care of me every step of the way, from how to package the watch, to providing the shipping labels, to keeping me informed of the watch's progress. I felt totally assured my watch would get service properly. When I got my Rolex back, it looked like new! They not only serviced the movement but also polished the case and bracelet. I received the watch safe and sound and the entire process was quicker than expected, too.

Honesty and Integrity in this business

I have enjoyed my trading and buying experience with Watch Chest and am fully satisfied with my watch. This is the second time I have done business with you and both experiences have been very good. I appreciate your honesty and integrity in the way you do business.

I am an avid collector of Rolex Timepieces. I look for the Unicorns and unique watches. This was my first experience with Watch Chest and I couldn’t be happier. My new watch is perfect, and had all the original packaging as described. I will be in contact with the team as my watch needs continue to grow.

Rain or shine, these guys shine

This was my first Rolex purchase and the entire experience from initial online contact to shipping was A+. I placed my order and unfortunately an ice storm delayed the usual overnight shipping for nearly a week. All through that week, Chris Wiley picked up the phone every single time I called to check in and called promptly with new information. In the end it was well worth the wait. My GMT Master II "Batman" arrived in perfect condition as described. I will certainly purchase from them again.

I have done business with Chris and watch chest for years. Just completed the purchase of 2 more high end watches and could not be more pleased. I have also used their watchmaker to service my existing collections over the years and bar none, I could not be more pleased with quality of their work. The Rolex factory does great work but the guys at Watch Chest go the extra mile

Rolex Date-Just

I bought a ladies 31mm Date-Just in January 2021 from Watch Chest. As I am located in Australia the Bank Transfer method was the only method of payment accepted. Chris' (CEO of Watch Chest) voluminous on-line presence assisted in alleviating the hesitation I had with paying a significant amount of money without the security of other payment methods. The transaction went smoothly and the FedEx delivery was perfect. My wife loves her watch and I'll definitely purchase my next piece from them.

Chris and Cody at Watch Chest are great…

Chris and Cody at Watch Chest are great guys to deal with. My wife loves her new Rolex. It was a surprise Christmas gift that replaced her stolen Lady DateJust and was a perfect match. Because it was a surprise, I couldn’t just go measure her wrist. It turned out she needed an additional link and Chris and Cody came through sending me one. Excellent people to work with and I highly recommend Watch Chest.

I’ve bought 2 Rolex watches from Watch Chest, and in both cases their communication, speed of delivery and quality of timepieces has been exemplary. Highly recommended for any prospective Rolex buyer.

To Australian Buyers!

Hi from Melbourne!

I just finsinhed up purchasing my first timepiece from Watch Chest and it was a perfect buying experiece.

I had spent 2 solid months contacting retailers all around the world looking for the ideal example of a Rolex 16233 with Tapestry Dial. And I had gotten fed up with dealing with non-professional, slow to respond retailers.

When I came across the Watch Chest website, I saw that it had the piece I wanted, so I went ahead and booked a phone appionment with Christopher Wiley.

During our conversation Christopher spoke as if he had all the time in the world for me, I found this really bizzar, but very reassuring.

By the end of our conversation, after he had patiently answered all my questions and offered a great deal of info on top of that, I was ready to pull the trigger and make the purchase. But then he told that they only accept Bank Wire transfers and not Paypal payments from outside the US. This ment that l would need to send cash without the buyer protection offered by Paypal.

This was not ideal for me becuase it was a substantial amount to send without having the peace of mind offered by Paypal's security and although my impression of Chris so far had been good, I still had never done business with him before.

Chris said he understood completly and recommended I do some research on him and Watch Chest on Trustpilot.com and RolexForums.com to see previous customers experiences. So that was exactly what I did and came to see that basically all of reviews where very positive.

I wired the money over the following day, once they received the payment they sent the watch out the next day and it arrived at my doorstep nice and fast. The watch was pristine! And exaclty as described.

So, it goes without saying, especially to those in Australia who are hesitant buying internationally because of the limitation of not being able to inspect the timepiece in the metal - Buy through Watch Chest with confidence as they do honest business.

5 stars!
