Excellent as always

Stian and the team offer the nicest vintage watches I have found, backed with a guarantee and the knowledge that the watch is genuine, as described, recently fully serviced and carefully delivered to your door. What's not to like about that? Highly recommended.

Exceptional!!!

I discovered the site following Stian’s videos on YT (if you haven’t seen one check them out they are both informative and humorous). His passion for watchmaking really shines through.

The purchase of an actual watch from his site was absolutely perfect. The watch arrived via courier with great updates on the status, is exactly as described on the site and frankly looks like it just came out of the Omega factory! The wooded lacquered box is a thing of beauty in itself!

Stian is simply wonderful, after paying for the watch I contacted him to change the model and he handled everything with great kindness and professionally.

THANK YOU Stian for what you do for the watch loving community, the world needs more people like you!

Beautiful watch

Beautiful watch, that runs and operates as it was new even though it is going to be 60 years old next year. Very happy with my purchase and would do it again. Thanks.

I could not be happier with my purchase

I am completely happy with my purchase 5-stars. My watch was shipped and arrived in that wonderful box that everyone talks about and it was exactly as described and pictured in the posting only better. It’s been 2-weeks but I wanted some wrist time with my new watch before writing my review. Honestly I really look forward to wearing this watch everyday even though it’s almost 60-years old you really wouldn’t notice, it is so elegant and keeps accurate time. I have been subscribed to the YouTube channel for a while now and have watched many of the videos I enjoy the expertise, knowledge, humor and history Stian imparts with each video. This is the first time I purchased a watch online and knowing it went through Stian’s hands has given me confidence. I am looking forward to making another purchase (hopefully I will find something I like soon!) Thank you Vintage Watch Services for your professionalism.

Once again perfect

Once again I received a wonderful watch from VWS. Even though she's almost 60 years old, I think I'm holding a new watch in my hands. The quality, communication and delivery of the order were simply perfect. Thanks!

Great service from Stian and team

Great service from Stian and team. The international shipping was fast and easy to track. The watch I purchased is 60 years old and looks fantastic for its age, a sign of the respectful and skilled work to bring out the best in this piece. First class! I’ll definitely use VWS again.

Excellent Customer Service

It appeared as if the watch I ended up purchasing was bought by someone else. I had looked at the watch on the website, but I didn't put in my Cart. Stian assured me that it was still available. I had to use the Crome browser on my phone instead of Safari on my laptop.
Once I purchased the watch, it was sent in a timely manner with express delivery and required a signature.

Thanks Stian & team

Thanks Stian & team, I have followed your YouTube channel for a while & enjoy your work (& humour).
I have been looking for a nice vintage (birthday year) watch for a while, while I saved up, and your store was an obvious shop of choice. I really like knowing my watch came through your careful hands and I look forward to years of wearing it.
It is in such good condition and presented beautifully in its box. I hope I can keep it that way.
