Jacek's reputation in this space is well deserved. Super fast delivery, really open/transparent communication about the watch itself, and the watch matched the pictures perfectly. Overall, incredibly pleased with my 16570 I purchased from him, and I'd buy again in a heartbeat.
A quick google of Tropical Watch should convince you this is the best place to buy a vintage Rolex online!

Bought a vintage Rolex GMT-Master from Jacek of Tropical Watch. Watch was 100% as described, communication was seamless, and it arrived on my doorstep the next day. Jacek’s knowledge of vintage timepieces is unmatched, and he made the process effortless. Deal with total confidence!

I've been collecting vintage watches for nearly 2 decades, experience's taught me to to approach online purchases with a healthy degree of caution. I'm glad to say that Jacek of Tropical Watches has met every bit of my expectations.

I purchased a Rolex 1680/8 in 2024 and a Rolex 5513 in 2025 from Jacek, and both transactions reinforced the importance of dealing with a competent and reliable dealer. The watches were exactly as described, and every question I raised was answered openly and professionally. No exaggeration, no salesmanship, and no attempt to hide imperfections.

Jacek was transparent, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in ensuring that I was comfortable with the purchases.

Buying vintage watches online always requires a leap of faith, but Jacek's earned my confidence completely. I would happily buy from him again and recommend him to any collector looking for authentic vintage Rolex watches!

Great communication throughout the buying process. Watch is exactly as advertised 2 years later

I purchased two Rolexes on separate occasions from tropicalwatch.com. Each one arrived exactly as pictured and described on the site at a sharp price. The entire process, from expressing interest online to receiving a prompt reply from Jacek and, ultimately, to receiving the watch via FedEx overnight, was seamless. At this point, once I’ve decided I want to buy a particular watch, I’ll wait until I see it on tropicalwatch.com and buy it there.

Great experience buying from Jacek.
Excellent communication throughout the process, a very honest price, and the item arrived quickly and safely packaged. Grazie A

Jacek and his team at tropical watch are great. I have brought two watches from the site. They are upfront, knowledgeable, and make you feel safe making a large purchase over the internet. Most importantly, they have treated us fairly both times.

I feel more comfortable going with tropical watch than even physical storefronts because they have the knowledge and trustworthiness to certify their watches and send them across the world.

Their photography is excellent and extremely high resolution. They show every part of the watches, blemishes and all. You know exactly what you are getting at a good price. My next purchase will be from tropical watch

Jacek is the best in the business. He’s fast to respond and everything was done professionally. Photos are great examples of how the watches look like in person. Hope to do business with you in the future!

The only online store where I’ll buy vintage watches. Fantastic service and great prices.

Excellent! I got a golden Rolex from them, simply gorgeous and in excellent condition. Communication also was simple and fast. Thank you!

Jacek has been finding amazing watches for me for more than 15 years. He is a total expert who is also totally fair and reasonable.

Jacek hit all the right notes: a fair price, quick communication, fast shipping, and excellent service. Buying a watch from him was actually fun.

Of course, the Submariner reference I’d been looking for appeared on his site right after my first purchase shipped. Jacek took my change of mind in stride, applied my full purchase toward the exchange, and arranged a prepaid, insured return. He made it easy.

I’m now wearing a beautiful 2022 Submariner Date with box and papers and couldn’t be happier. Great watch, great experience—I’d happily buy from him again.

I have been purchasing watches from Jacek for years and is the only one I go to for vintage or pre-owned pieces. The highest of integrity, fair, responsive, and supremely knowledgeable. There is no reason to look anywhere else, period.

Buying a second hand timepiece requires trust. Jacek is trustworthy. He'll get you sorted.

Jacek is a true professional, and the 16710 I purchased from him was immaculate. Buy with confidence!

Jacek makes finding watches, easy. His knowledge, expertise and prices are the best in the business.

I am very happy with both of my pieces and will continue to buy from him moving forward.

Got my husband a surprise wedding gift watch from Tropical Watch - Jacek was very responsive, helped me choose the right one, and it was sent quickly and packaged carefully!

Jacek and Tropical Watch are one of the few companies I would trust whole-heartedly to know and speak to the value and service history of a watch. In a world where reputation is everything, Tropical Watch holds one of the highest. As for the watch itself, I am completely enamored with it, and the customer service was top notch. Questions answered immediately, watch shipped overnight, arrived as described, etc. It has continued to run perfectly, and was certified for water as per its original specifications. Would eagerly buy another watch from the team at Tropical Watch.

Great service, speedy delivery and the watch was exactly as described.

No one better than Jacek in the vintage world. Love my GMT. Smooth transaction. He’s always helpful and responsive. If you’re looking for a vintage piece, buy from Tropical Watch.
