CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

Had an initial conversation with John regarding a couple of pieces. I had been looking for a vintage C shaped case Omega for a while. John was happy to answer questions and I purchased the watch shortly after. Prior to shipping it was noticed the watch was running fast. It was sent to a watchmaker to adjust before being sent to me. A small issue with the date once it arrived which vintage gold watches were happy to fix. They arranged the watch to be picked up and fixed ASAP. Got the watch back after a week and it has run faultlessly since. Would be happy to recommend vintage gold watches to anyone looking for a special watch.

Excellent service throughout, detailed information was provided and all questions answered.

"Trust Earned, Business Returned" The Universal Genève Regulateur 18ct from 1962 is my 6th purchase from John O’Brien and the exceptional team at Vintage Gold Watches London (VGWL). As a repeat customer, I can confidently say their service is in a league of its own—flawless from start to finish. From selecting my timepiece to its safe delivery to the US, every detail is handled with first-class care. Their after-sales support is just as impressive, with prompt responses to questions and an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. What truly sets VGWL apart is their passion for horology, reflected in the detailed history and research accompanying each piece. They don’t just sell watches—they share stories. Bravo, John and team! I can’t wait for the next one.

I have purchased three watches in the past year from Vintage Gold Watches of London and have enjoyed a plesant experience each time. They have gone to extraordinary measures to ensure my satisfaction and I would highly reccomend them to anyone.

I recently bought a pre-owned Jaeger-LeCoultre watch from Vintage Gold Watches and have been delighted with the quality of the product and the service received. I found the watch through their website which gave comprehensive details and pictures of their products. The few queries that I had having looked at the site were promptly and pleasantly answered by the company and, having ordered the watch, it was immediately despatched and arrived in immaculate condition exactly as described and was followed up by the relevant paperwork posted separately for security. I had chosen this particular watch for its quality but also because it is the same age as me although it has survived the years in far better condition than myself! The experience of purchasing this watch has been a pleasure and I would recommend Vintage Gold Watches to anyone looking for a classic timepiece.

Very pleased with this Movado watch, just as described on vintage gold watches website, looks much better in real life. I will be purchasing my next watch very soon from vgw. Thank you for a excellent service from John and the team at vgw. I will highly recommend.

Seller was very professional in all aspects of the purchase and I look forward to doing future business with them again.

Excellent service throughout. Highly recommended

A beautiful watch

Fantastic service as always! Many thanks to all the team at VGWL.

I was impressed by the quick responses to my questions, both on-line and by phone and by the very quick delivery after purchase, also I was pleasantly surprised by the detailed supporting paperwork and watch-care 'kit' provided. I have purchased two watches from your company: a 1949 9ct gold cased Movado Triple Date Calendar with 475 calibre movement and more recently a 1955 18ct pink-gold cased Jaeger-LeCoultre chronograph with the highly rated Universal Geneve 285 calibre movement. Both watches are in excellent condition and are exactly as described in your listing.

I found John from VGWL extremely helpful, he answered all questions promptly and explained things clearly. I love the watch I purchased, it was exactly as shown on their website.

Excellent service at all times - friendly, knowledgeable and efficient

VERY NICE WATCH LOOKS GREAT NICE AND ELEGANT

The Watch I bought from them is just gorgeous and I love everything about it… a mint condition “1966 Gold Rolex Precision 34mm” including the stunning aesthetics and it’s wonderful mechanism and just the way it feels on the wrist… I’d advise anyone who is thinking about a vintage gold watch to just do it; you’ll be over the moon with joy. The service I received from everyone at Vintage Gold Watches was great reassuring and beyond from the first moment I called them and throughout the whole process re all my questions being fully answered, the buying process and receiving the Watch and ongoing re this impeccable service continues which is peace of mind for me re future servicing etc. Thank you to all the team at Vintage Gold Watches.

My father passed away and left me a collection of vintage watches which i knew were special but didn't have the knowledge to deal with properly. I was offered a fraction of the watches worth by dealers and had been pushed by auction houses to get them in auctions with very very low prices. I was feeling like no one could be trusted. I came across Alan and he immediately made me feel at ease. I felt that he wanted the best price for me and that he would be the person to entrust with my watches. Kirsty has been great at keeping in contact and updating me every time a watch sells, it has been seamless. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Vintage Gold Watches to anyone looking to buy or sell a watch and particularly anyone looking to have their collection taken care of.

The team at Vintage Gold Watches is passionate about Vintage watches. I bought 12 watches from VGW. All of them have one thing in common: the delicate and magical balance of being original without being over restored. Coming with each watch there is a thorough condition report "particulars of sale" which is a pleasure to read. Warranty and certificate of authenticity will complement your acquisition. Highly recommended.

Beautiful Rolex presented beautifully and exactly as described. Exemplary service - communication clear and accurate - couldn’t ask for more!

I highly rate your service and thorough processes and have already sung your praises to friends and family. Needless to say I would have no qualms about further purchases from you as I have already bought on 2 separate occasions. Thanks again for your help and support.

The team at VGW couldn't have been more helpful. They even replaced the strap on the watch free of charge when I realised it was a little too snug. Prompt, efficient, knowledgable, quite simply a pleasure to buy from.

Excellent service , the watch was in perfect condition and Professional delivery with watch box and papers.

We have bought two watches now from Vintage Gold Watches and have been left thoroughly impressed by the quality of the watches on offer as well as the exceptional service. Alan and John are both extremely knowledgeable when it comes to vintage watches and never cease to amaze me through their depth of knowledge and enthusiasm. This has been paired with excellent service. No request is ever too much trouble. When my wife fell and damaged her watch Vintage Gold Watches were excellent and had it back to her quickly and looking as good as new. If you want a watch where you can tell it has lived a life and has a story but is also top quality and a little piece of history, look no further.

I think both the service and product are great. The detail documents come with the watch worth commendation. The seller is very careful in every detail of the shipping. I would strongly recommend the seller to those who want to buy decent gold vintage Rolex.

A first class experience. The watch was breath-takingly beautiful, just as described. The service was great. Watch arrived quickly with a couple nice gifts and detailed information about the watch. My highest recommendation.

It is an unbelievable piece and hats off for such a wonderful restoration! I am very lucky to have gotten this opportunity to own this piece! Additionally, your group's responsiveness, attentiveness, and professionalism has an absolute pleasure

This was my first international buying experience and it went swimmingly! The watch was exactly as described, well packed for shipping, and a few extra items (travel case and cleaning supplies) as a bonus. I'm very happy with my purchase and recommend Vintage Gold Watches London!

My interaction with VGW was exceptional in every sense. Knowledge and expertise, passion, excellence of the product and service and as important, the people and their approach. John and Sophie were both wonderful. I would most certainly use VGW as far as possible.

My purchase arrived within a few days and I was very pleased with it and the care and detail that went into its packaging and presentation. Thank you John and your team.

Watch better than expected. High resolution photos are not representative of what the eye sees. Easy company to deal with.

When an issue arose with watch strap - of my own making - John sorted it even though I must have tried his patience. So unusual to have such genuine concern that I get what I’m after. Cannot recommend the firm highly enough.

The lovely watch has arrived! The whole service has been excellent, from the high quality website to the personal attention from you and your colleagues. I shall certainly recommend you and would not be surprised to find myself visiting your website again.

The watch is beautiful, actually better than expected. I must admit, I find myself "checking" the time more often as the twinkle and flash of the 18 kt gold from the case, hands and indices has a an hypnotic effect on me.

Beautiful watch, as described; fast shipping and great communication from the seller. I would not hesitate to recommend this business. Gorgeous watch in superb condition for the age and keeps time well. Very pleased.

Great support, and discussion during the sale process. Description of watch was perfect and very clear as to what I was getting. The number of compliments I have received since getting the watch is amazing. Its beautiful

Perfect service from the first engagement to the final delivery. The documentation that comes with the beautiful watch is brilliant. This was my first purchase from Vintage but I am sure it won't be the last! An absolutely beautiful Vintage IWC to add to my collection! The restoration is perfect.

I am very happy with the watch, the transaction and the contact with the seller

Very satisfied with product and service. Needed watch quickly and they expedited it to make sure I had it for a big birthday. Simple and elegant. Very good condition. A birth year gift that really hit the mark.

The whole buying experience is first class. Delivery was when expected and it was fantastic opening the package and finally seeing the beautiful watch that I had bought. A couple of nice surprises inside were the finishing touch. This was my first vintage watch.

A really good experience as everything was excellent

Very satisfied with product and service. Needed watch quickly and they expedited it to make sure I had it for a big birthday

I did have a couple of issues with two watches, one of which I rejected in favour of the second watch. The second watch also had a problem that required it to be returned and resolved. The delivery and packaging by VIntage Gold is top quality and cannot be faulted.

A big thank you to all the team at VGW for the purchase experience through to delivery. Their knowledge and expertise was excellent assisting me to make an informed purchase decision, which was important to me and themselves.

John and his team provided exceptional customer service. Through no fault of the seller my purchase was damaged in transit. I experienced no difficulties in obtaining a refund and when I spot another watch that I’m interested in, I will certainly be very happy to purchase from the seller. Highly recommend for good service and no quibble refund. The watch was in beautiful condition cosmetically with a lovely strap. It certainly matched description.

Last month I picked up the IWC 3737 & Rolex Precision Cocktail watch. Incredible service by the team at VGWL! They even set my watches to my GMT, adorable! Special thanks to Mr. O'Brien. I am excited to see the teams next arrivals. Thanks.

Bought a vintage Breitling Top Time from Vintage Gold Watches London. The quality and supporting documentation from the dealer was first class and exactly as described. Communications were immediate and the dealer even changed the strap without hesitation.

I received excellent service and my watch is beautiful Never had better service, they went well beyond what is usual

John was very helpful when I asked him lots of questions about the watches I wanted to purchase and the company I would highly recommend Vintage Gold watches first class services.

Fantastic service, friendly and timely responses to all queries and my father is delighted with his new timepiece, many thanks

Excellent condition watch, well described, nicely packaged / presented & delivered quickly. Excellent supporting paperwork. This is my second purchase from a trusted seller.

Excellent product description, watch was as described. Good communication on order status and tracking. Documentation provided is excellent and timely.

Excellent service, precise description of the watch, arrived speedily and in good condition.

The interaction with Vintage Gold Watches was fast and efficient. The watch was as described and at a good price. The documentation provided supports the description and history of the watch. I had some concerns about buying on the internet, but I was able to meet with a VGC representative in London

Very good watch and very efficient! Will definitely recommend this shop to my friends! We like the Watch very very much, in particular, the condition of Watch is very good notwithstanding the Watch is made in 1937! The shop is good and did not charge any shipment fee!

The item was in very good condition. thank you

Very impressed with the excellent service. The watch was exactly as described on the Chrono24 listing, it was received earlier than estimated and came with a very comprehensive package including inner and outer presentation boxes, a nice watch pouch, a 'care kit', and very detailed paperwork including an insurance valuation. Communication with Vintage Gold Watches London was excellent; I would highly recommend this pre-owned watch dealer.

After just one purchase, the product and the service were good enough that I would purchase from them again. In fact, I have my eye on a few more of their watches and am looking forward to my next purchase.

Excellent seller - item extremely well prepared, and provided with nicely presented warrantee and documentation. Good communication and item very promptly dispatched. Would buy again.

Watch as described and good communication so overall, very happy. The only (slight) "niggle" was the time it took to release the product, it being resent to the watch-smith for final presentation. This would not deter me in any way from transacting with this dealer in the future.

The dealer dealt swiftly and professionally with my queries and the watch was dispatched very promptly, but nevertheless noticeable had been taken with the packing to ensure the protection of the watch whilst in transit. Vintage Gold Watches provided a complementary care kit including gold cleaning cloth, polywatch solution for the acrylic, oil to nourish the watch strap, and a cleaning cloth; and these items were accompanied by instructions for the correct application of each. Furthermore, a leather travel case as well as an elegant wooden storage box were provided. This dealer takes pride in delivering a high quality of service and shares my esteem for the horological product purveyed.

Alan Wood impressed me with his relaxed conversational style and evident interest in vintage watches per se. The watch arrived sooner than expected - the package included a complementary 2-watch travel case - and was followed by hard copies of the associated documents.

Excellent service. Thorough description and documentation. Excellent photos. I can highly recommend VGWL.

Fabulous watch, beautifully restored. Prompt and helpful communications from the seller. Many thanks

The quality of the watches they sell speak for themselves. Excellent service, quick delivery and guaranteed authenticity. Just what I've wanted for sometime and at a great price.

10/10 for service. The watch is beautiful!!!!

My 70’s Oyster Rolex was transformed! I recommend this company and their owner Mr Wood, who showed great care and dedication in organising my watch’s restoration. Mr Wood seemed as joyful as me that this vintage timepiece could be reincarnated so beautifully. Highly recommend.

Great experience bought two amazing watches! Great customer service!

Great communication and a quality 1957 Omega watch which really is stunning. Thank you. The watch is exactly as described.

Fantastic, professional service, not to forget the quality of the two stunning watches purchased which I received safely today. They are absolutely breathtaking!
