Watchtrader & Co Reviews 

I’ve dealt with Watchtrader several times this year for both purchases and sales, and have found the team — particularly Ben & Jon McShane — to be professional, responsive and transparent.

Communication was clear at each stage, valuations were realistic, and payments were processed as agreed. They handled both consignment and outright sales efficiently.

A trustworthy and well-organised company — happy to recommend Watchtrader & Co for anyone looking to buy or sell luxury watches confidently.

I can’t praise Watchtrader enough for my first time buying from them.
Billy made it an easy transaction, gave fair prices for trade ins and kept great communication the whole way.
I look forward to doing future deals with this great company.

I’ve had a few dealings with the lads at Watchtrader and they have been great every time. Very accommodating and easy to deal with. I will definitely be back again!!

Great service, communication throughout. The watch i purchased was in stunning condition

Excellent service from Ben. The watch was in excellent condition as advertised.

If you want to purchase a luxuary watch look no further than Watch Traderin Jesmond. Joe went abive and beyond to find mr the Rolex i was interested in, he was a pleasure to deal with and i cannot recommend Watch Trader and Joe enough. Five star service

The watch trader team were very friendly and helpful after I emailed interest in a coupe watches. Ben took the time to call me directly and explain the condition of both which helped me decide.
The watch arrived well packaged and in incredible condition which was exactly as described.
Top service and rapid next day delivery.

I walked into the shop looking to part-ex my Rolex Sub for a Skydweller. Whilst I wasn’t spending huge amounts of money, for me, it was. The lads were great. I was treated superb with zero pressure on me. We were able to come to a deal and I walked out a happy man. Top service. Thank you 👌🏽

Excellent service from first making contact to actually owning my new watch . Staff were very helpful guiding me through the process of buying a new Rolex watch. Their service was impeccable. The were polite and courteous at every stage. Their professionalism shone through. I would unreservedly recommend this company to anyone contemplating a new watch purchase.

Outstanding Service from Start to Finish

I recently purchased a Breitling from WatchTrader, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish.

I dealt primarily with Ben, who was professional, honest, and helpful throughout the process. His communication was first-class, and I always felt completely at ease with the purchase. There was a slight hiccup with tracking as the watch was being delivered to the Channel Islands — it was routed via Guernsey and didn’t immediately show as scanned into Jersey, which caused a few tense hours. However, after a quick phone call with John in the Newcastle boutique, he personally checked the system, confirmed the watch was in transit, and sure enough, it was delivered safely to my home just a few hours later.

The watch itself exceeded expectations — pristine condition, beautifully packaged, and exactly as described. This particular purchase meant a lot to me, as it replaced a Breitling I’d sadly had to sell during Covid. To now have it back — in even better condition and as an updated model — is something quite special.

The whole team were outstanding, from Ben’s professionalism to John’s reassurance and care. Five stars, top to bottom. I’ll certainly be returning to WatchTrader when I decide on my next timepiece.

Excellent transaction, would recommend.

Ordered my watch and it was delivered within 24 hours, had great service from Josh who handled everything via Whatsapp, sent me pictures and videos and maintained great communication throughout. Ordered a 41mm Rolex Wimbledon 2025 with box and papers, incredible price too. Would recommend the service to anyone

Cracking service yet again from Josh and the team hence why I’m a repeat customer. Ordered a Rolex Explorer and Omega Speedmaster yesterday, both arrived this morning in immaculate condition. Great value and truly awesome service, keep up the great work.

I purchased a Rolex from Watchtrader yesterday.
From start to finish, the service was excellent, from all the team.
The watch was delivered in super quick time this morning and I am delighted with it; its exactly as described and the photographs I viewed.
I would highly recommend.
Thanks again.

There was an issue with the watch but they contacted me and made it right. I wish it wasn't needed, but mistakes do happen and they owned to it and made it right out of their own pocket. So my review is now 5 starts and I'll most likely buy again!

Wouldn't hesitate to use this company again. I came away very happy with the service I received.

Ben sorted everything perfectly, the watch was like new when it arrived, exactly as described, delighted

I can't believe I purchased a Rolex from Watchtrader by email. I made my enquiry on a bank holiday, and I was amazed to get an immediate response. After several emails back and forth with Ben, I don't know how he put with my endless questions. However, it resulted in my purchase of a fabulous Daytona in absolutely as new condition - thank you Ben.

After sourcing the watch i wanted i contacted watchtrader and spoke to josh who was very helpful and knowledgeable and answered all my questions.
My watch arrived on the day stated it would extremely well packaged and as exactly as stated in excellent condition.
Would highly recommend using watchtrader was very professional from initial contact , purchase and delivery

Very professional from visiting the shop to receiving payment for the sale of my Rolex watch
Would highly recommend Watchtrader & Co
