“I just purchased a Rolex Yacht Master from the Watch Collector. My experience was very pleasant. I'm from Brisbane and I was very comfortable purchasing this watch from online. It was exactly as advertised. Beautiful watch. I'm definitely a happy customer.”

“These guys were great. They were professional, responsive and most importantly the work they did was excellent. My watch came back better than new. They even fixed a scratch and I didn’t ask them to. They just wanted the watch to look its best. I highly recommend them.”

Michael, Thank you so much for forwarding the half link for my Omega Speedmaster Professional; the watch now fits perfectly.

Please feel free to post this Testimonial on your website.

The team at the Watch Collector were outstanding from first contact thru till post sales follow up. The Omega Speedmaster Professional 3750.50 model was my first luxury watch purchase and the team really wanted to make sure I was comfortable every step of the way.

Even though the watch was close to 9yrs old it was presented as new with original box and papers. Im very happy with the purchase and would not hesitate in recommending the Watch Collector to anyone.

Hi Michael,

Just a few words of thanks to you regarding the sale of my Rolex 14060M. I have now bought and sold a number of Rolex watches through you and each time I have been impressed with your passion, professionalism and personal interest in my needs whether it was to buy or sell a watch. Every watch I have bought from you has been perfectly presented and in ” as new ” condition. My wife and I have always felt that you were always prepared to go the ” extra mile” to see us get the best watches available. We have been delighted with every purchase and sale.
It was great to deal with someone who has the same passion for watches as myself.
The bottom line is that my next, or any , watch will be purchased from you.

Kind regards
Paul K, Adelaide.

My experience with the Watch Collector Co now spans three years involving transactions on five watches; originally acquiring an Omega Planet Ocean that I gifted to my son in 2013, this year I traded two watches and acquired a Rolex Submariner from Michael. Following a meeting with Michael in Melbourne and some procrastination on my part, I recently exchanged the Sub for a GMT Master II. At all times, Michaels professional advice, excellent personal customer service and guarantee of product quality has been unquestionable. I strongly recommend the Watch Collector Co to the most discerning buyers of quality watches.

I honestly couldn’t be happier, and im so grateful to the hospitality and service you have shown me since we began this transaction, and can see what you mean by the strap sizing not being an issue… it fits perfectly! I will most definitely be a repeat purchaser in the future when (not if) i undoubtably look to get another watch.

Again, i may be in contact with you sometime next year to discuss rolex restoration and if i don’t hear back from you, i wish you the best until then.

Kind Regards
Happy Customer

I recently purchased a Panerai PAM 111 from The Watch Collector and I would like to thank Michael for his excellent service. Being new to the collector watch market, Michael very patiently explained and allowed me to view the different watches they had to offer. After listening to me, he recommended the PAM 111, even though this was not the most expensive watch I was admiring. After purchasing the watch and leaving the show room, when most stores / showrooms would view the sale as complete, Michael quickly responded to my emailed questions and made sure I was happy with my purchase. Unfortunately within 2 weeks of wearing the watch, it exhibited a fault. Without hesitancy, Michael offered to fix the watch as soon as possible, and to provide me with a watch to wear whilst mine was at the watchmaker. Within a few days the watch was returned, completely repaired and beautifully polished. I was very impressed with his service and would not hesitate to recommend his services and watches. I look forward to visiting their showroom again to add to my collection, or perhaps to upgrade the PAM 111 (if I have fallen out of love with it by then).

Cheers

“I recently bought a couple of watches from Watch Collector. I was particularly impressed by Michael’s honesty and his quick and knowledgeable response to all my enquiries, both before and after purchase. Both watches were in perfect condition as promised and arrived safely and promptly. I would happily recommend Watch Collector to anyone wanting to purchase a pre-owned luxury watch in excellent condition.”

I had a very pleasant experience purchasing my Tag Heuer Monaco, after having searching for one for several years, I was finally able to secure one from Michael, virtually brand new. Michael is very knowledgeable on all makes and models, and provides a service that i would be happy to recommend. I will be returning for all my servicing needs. Thanks again.

Dealing with Michael and Watchcollector has always exceeded my expectations from his knowledge during the sale, to his generous support in servicing my Speedmaster after I drowned it (works I the Moon, not in pools note to self look into Seamaster). I wouldnt go anywhere else.

I turned to Michael and the Watch Collector Company for the purchase of my first Swiss watch. The experience in dealing with Michael was nothing short of enjoyable. Not only did he provide a friendly and professional service but was more than willing to provide a novice with an interesting insight in to the world of watch collecting
