Superb service

Had inquired before about a specific watch which I missed. Shyam notified when he found another example of that watch, communications and images were exemplary, and went above and beyond to get the watch to me safely.
Couldn’t recommend more highly.

Top service. Highly recommend.

What a pleasure it was to deal with Shyam for my recent Tudor purchase. The service was excellent and so personalised. Shyam is really helpful and responsive on WhatsApp and kept me updated on options available making the full experience feel really special. I would have no hesitation in recommending Pristine and Patina and Shyam will be my first stop for my next watch purchase. Thanks 🙏🙏

My first time dealing Pristine &…

My first time dealing Pristine & Patina. I’m a seasoned collector of mint condition pieces and the watch was exactly as described in the online description and over the phone with my many specific questions prior to purchase. Customer service was amazing from Shyam too.

Highly recommended and would not hesitate to deal with again.

Thrilled with my second purchase from Pristine and Patina

I recently purchased my second watch from Pristine and Patina, a stunning Cartier Skeleton, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Shyam is not only incredibly helpful but also a genuine watch enthusiast which makes the buying process all the more enjoyable. The Cartier I bought was like new and at a great price! I’d highly recommend pristine and patina to anyone looking for a knowledgable and trustworthy watch dealer

"Amazing Service – An Understatement!"

I was searching for the perfect gift for my wife and reached out to Shyam, someone I knew I could trust to provide professional guidance. From our in-depth conversation, I immediately felt confident that I was in good hands. Shyam took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for, recommending options based on size, color, and style.
Once we agreed on the price, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the item was delivered and collected within just 24 hours, especially so close to Christmas. There are many businesses in this industry, but none that I’ve dealt with offer service that compares to Pristine and Patina. I’m already in discussions for my next purchase, and I highly recommend their exceptional service!

Stellar Service

I just bought my first "proper" watch (A Tudor Black Bay) from Pristine & Patina, and I am very satisfied. Shyam was friendly, helpful, and quick to communicate over text, providing professional and trustworthy service. I would 100% return for my next watch.
