First time purchasing from Watchfinder

First time purchasing from Watchfinder.
Presale team were patient and great to deal with. I traded in two watches towards another watch. There were a couple of issues along the process however this happens so happy that they were resolved days later however the watch ordered was described as ‘Excellent Condition’. Watch arrived with clear damage to the sapphire glass which was not shown in the images. I contacted Watchfinder the same day to report the damage, 2 days later contacted to after sales who now directed back to presales. Still awaiting update on the most suitable resolution. I just feel quite disappointed with something that I was so excited to receive that had the obvious mark.

great communication

Really good, honest communication from the watchfinder team make them a joy to shop with. I enquired about a watch and was given a thorough run-through of any blemishes on the one I was looking at. This helped shape my decision and gave me a really accurate picture of the condition of the watch, which arrived on time and in perfect condition. I couldn't be happier. Will definitely use them again on my next purchase.

The deal was very fair - the owner experience this time a bit disappointing

The deal was very fair. 4th watch I’ve purchased over the years.
The downside this time - the bracelet broke after 3 days and it has now been back with the aftercare team and I’m waiting for an update.

Excellent service from Watchfinder

Excellent service from start to finish. The only gripe would be they give you a starting price for your watch, then when inspected always knock a service charge that the watch will need.
Other than that the rest of the sale was spot on. DHL were excellent.

There is no case for recommending them

I simply can't recommend using them. The offers for purchasing watches or part-exchanging them are fine, but the entire process, including the way they handle collection and delivery, as well as the customer service, is subpar. Considering that other companies are offering similar prices, customer service and care are the most important part of transactions in the watch world nowadays. You can purchase and sell a watch everywhere nowadays. Therefore, if the part that is tied to a customer interaction is not a 12 out of 10, there is no reason to recommend anyone. As far as Watchfinder is concerned, they are not even close to being a 10 out of 10.
Update 13 August 2026: While my timepiece has been delivered, there has been no attempt to contact me, as per their reply. So please take this as an incorrect statement from Watchfinder when reading this review.
