Overpromoted item and poor service

Phone contact was fine. Still, Iconicwatches sold a Patek Aquanaut for 16.000,- Euros in a 10/10 condition. After a long process just waiting for the confirmation that my payment received I got a watch with a scratch on the bezel and a shortened strap. Eventhough I asked to check the strap before shipment, it was send out believing that the customer has to exept it. Beside, the icon watch website has a nice chat function, where you never get an answer. When you are posting a claim, a custpmer service guy just refers to UK law and dont care anymore.
I am buying a lot watches here and there. But honestly, this was the worst experience ever made. My learning, "Iconicwatches" is not a serious source and business partner.

Reply from Iconic Watches / Ancient and Modern Jewellers Ltd

Dear Andreas,
Thank you for letting us know about your recent experience with Iconic Watches. We apologise if our service did not meet your expectations and appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns, which we take extremely seriously and we want to make sure no customer has a poor buying experience with us.
Our goal is to provide a consistently reliable products and an exemplary level of customer service. Based on the events you describe.

Firstly that there was a delay in processing your payment. Due to fraud we have a standard security procedure where we have to wait for funds to clear before shipping them on.

Secondly the strap was advertised at 19cm on our website and you needed confirmation if the strap was cut, in the case that it wasn't you were happy to receive it. Therefore we admit an error here, as the strap was in fact cut being that it was a pre-owned (we realised this after you paid and let you know).

Regarding the quoting of UK law, we are simply stating that ALL our customers are entitled to a FULL refund should the customer be unsatisfied with an item. This is part of the UK consumer rights act designed for the customers protection.

As we could not meet your requirements of a new strap or a discount we offered our last alternative, which was to collect the watch and fully refund you, in all our efforts to collect the watch on Friday which became Monday, however over the weekend you have now sold on the watch.

Again our sincere apologies. We appreciate your business. We will make every effort to see that this never happens again.

mispriced by £1k but only told when I got in store!

Purchased an IWC portofino online after communicating over the telephone and online enquiry system several times. Agreed to pay the advertised price for the watch and was offered free shipping.
Paid in full online and my account was debited but decided to collect in store the next day as I'm only 30 minutes away and managed to book a day off. Only when I get to the store and try the watch on do they tell me the advertised price was wrong by £1k! and there was nothing they could do about it. I got a half hearted apology and left the store never to return. Poor customer service is an understatement and would have expected the mistake to have been spotted much sooner.

It is a good experience to buy my wife's watch on Iconic.
The one we looked at was out of stock and the replacement was quickly found. The watch was delivered fast and beautiful.
Will recommend them to everyone who want to get a new watch

Omega Seamaster unworn

Ordering and paying was very easy, I had looked at an alternative website but I was not happy or confident in paying using Escrow (the only payment method offered) I had researched prices for my watch and decided that an unworn watch with the Omega full international warranty was the best option for me. My order was placed and throughout the whole process I was kept fully informed about my order and the delivery tracking. My watch arrived one day later and was in perfect condition with all of the correct validated warranty card and paperwork.
I have no hesitation in recommending a purchase from Iconic Watches

ROLEX SUBMARINER 116613 LB (BI METAL - BRAND NEW)

Have no reservations in dealing with this firm ! - They are 100% legitimate/professional and do exactly what they say at all times.

Communication is excellent - Service is Excellent and most of all the Watch which I ordered was 100% as stated with all the relevant paperwork etc.

I saved £1100 on RRP from a UK Rolex AD and barring loosing a couple of weeks on the 5 year warranty everything else was spot on. (The watch had been sourced from a European Rolex AD).
I collected my watch in person from their premises in Blackburn and the experience was great !
Will definitely use again in the future !!!

Thanks to all the team !

Very pleased with my Tudor Heritage Black Bay 2016 model (with rivet bracelet & in-house movement). Watch arrived in perfect condition as described and accurate to +5 secs per day. Many thanks to Tania, Chris and the team for their help and regular updates. Highly recommended :-)

Five star service!

Prompt attention was given to my initial enquiry, and I was given a very fair part exchange price against a new watch which already had a significant discount. Service from the shop staff was friendly and efficient. I would not hesitate to use Iconic watches again if I am in the market for a top quality watch.

I'm very happy with my watch I bought. It was pre-owned but in a very nice condition almost as new. I recommend you to buy here, they have good prices and very good customer support, I had the same contact person by chat, email and telephone.
