The whole process was smooth and easy

The whole process was smooth and easy. I needed to contact Client Care and was very pleased with the service provided. Jess Bray was extremely helpful, efficient response to emails and action then followed through. I would highly recommend Watchfinder for what is quite a significant purchase for most of us.

Amazing website.I knew they were the real deal ,I'd heard from friends and read reviews.
I wanted to treat myself to celebrate 45 years of self employment.I chose something after sorting through the Rolex for my taste and budget.
I emailed and had a reply from Jay.He was straight and fair in regards to what I could have the watch for and did a deal.
It arrived secure and signed for.
Boxed and with a letter of authenticity.
So happy with my 1991 Air King.
Real pros
Thank you Tony

Sold my Omega Seamaster through the site. Decided to use Watchfinder after being lowballed by bricks and mortar shops in Dublin. Super easy experience. Step by step very straight forward and they offered me an extremely fair price. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a good price and a great service if you're moving a watch on. Big thank you to Tom Holland for being on the ball and keeping me updated through the whole process.

Great service

You never know how good a warranty is until you go to use it. I was surprised and pleased with how easy and non challenging it was to have my watch repaired under warranty. Staff were easily contactable and the email communication was perfect. (With the same team member looking after you all the way through the process.) Will buy from them again going forward.

Absolutely fantastic experience both online and in store.
So easy to use and extremely accommodating to ensure a great purchase experience.
I have used Watchfinder several times in the past 10 years and never had a bad experience.
Special thanks to Richard Brockman and the young lady in the Watchfinder Branch at ‘The Royal Exchange London’ for working with me when I changed my mind a few times.
I will definitely be using them again.
