Excellent service from Watchfinder in Leeds

I have used Watchfinder in Leeds twice now and cannot recommend them highly enough.
My most recent experience was purchasing an Omega Seamaster. Matt took time to ensure the watch met their standards before selling it to me.
Cameron dealt with the handover and adjustment of the bracelet - his service was excellent.

Having never previously bought a second hand watch, I was somewhat hesitant when ordering from Watchfinder, despite the overwhelmingly positive reviews. I couldn't be more impressed with the level of service received. My Tudor watch was described as being in "excellent" condition, but on receiving delivery and opening the box, quite frankly it could have come straight from the showroom. The watch was in impeccable condition and trust me, I'm fussy! Delivery from DHL was flawless. Genuine thanks to the team at Watchfinder!

First class service from Abigail

I had purchased a watch which had to go back to the manufacturer for review. The support offered by Abigail Johnstone was first class. Abigail kept me updated every step of the way and guided me through the process and managed all of my expectations. I have purchased many watches from Watchfinder and this experience reminds me why I keep coming back. Thank you again.

Great Experience

Had my watch for 5 months but had a slight issue and I have been so impressed with the customer service team. Arranged free collection immediately of the watch, Eloise and Abigail in the customer team kept me update on the process of ordering new parts and completing the works and with free delivery of my watch again.

Buying the watch was easy and straightforward but I’m even more impressed with the aftercare.

Returned to Watchfinder after a few years. This is the third Rolex I have bought from them. The level of professional service I received from Alfie was fantastic, he answered all my questions and provided me additional information to reassure me about the purchase. The watch I received was absolutely pristine, it had stated it was in excellent condition, but I can only say that it was perfect, boxed with documents and securely delivered by DHL. I will definitely be using Watchfinder again and can say that their standards have not changed over the years, it’s still the most professional and reliable place to buy a pre owned watch. Thanks again Alfie

Watch received as described, the quality was excellent, better than I expected. The pictures did not do justice to the watch, would recommend purchasing from this company.

Great watch, lackluster buying experience

The watch was excellent, in really good condition. The price was just insane, but it was a rare watch (so I really didn’t have an alternative if I wanted the watch), the buying experience was pretty sterile, and very slow. This is not how buying watches should feel. I’ve bought from Watchfinder and Subdial in recent times. I’d recommend Subdial all day, Watchfinder only if you really have to.
