I am a long time teacher if Martial arts and mindfulness and highly valued authenticity integrity and attention to detail.
This is what I found in abundance at past2 present watches.
A particular Hamilton Khaki model I've been searching for appears on a nice website looks nice on photos really positive review's.
Communication excellent on phone calls emails and texts very speedy too.
Watch wrapped very nicely and secure in original box warranty etc with much care and attention to detail in it's presentation.
A 2007 model almost immaculate condition looks practically brand new and even nicer than it looks on photos. Really beautiful perfect fit on my wrist and a free accessory with a nice hand written letter.
Wow! I believe this is the best service on a purchase I've had in my entire life!
Highly recommended
Big thankyou to Steve,a true gentleman and his team. Paul F from Lancaster

Fantastic customer service!

As a first time vintage watch buyer I was a little hesitant to call to enquire about a watch I'd seen on their website. I shouldn't have been; I was made to feel that my call was welcomed, and my questions were answered honestly and thoroughly. The watch arrived the next day, beautifully packaged with a case I hadn't been expecting. I am delighted with it and would certainly purchase from past2present again.

Many thanks again

Many thanks again - I love the Omega!
Great packaging too - I see you guys really care about watches, I have bought from a number of other retailers and your attention to detail stands out and is much appreciated

Will keep a look out on your website and hope that something I like pops up simultaneously with me giving myself permission to buy another.

Very happy customer.

I was very sceptical but was very pleasantly surprised at the quality. The accuracy for a 54 year old watch is comparable to a quality new watch (-3 seconds a day). The condition of the watch is remarkable and at a glance looks brand new only showing age at close examination. I would definatly recommend this company.

With a couple of watch nerd friends

With a couple of watch nerd friends, had a wonderful session with Steve and his team talking watches. Brilliant repair and service facilities backed up with in depth knowledge and expertise. Fantastic selection of vintage watches.

Great service and product

Great service - I ordered direct from the website. Watch arrived less than 24hrs after ordering and nicely packaged. Watch itself was in great condition and as good as photos suggested. Would use this company again.

One of the best small companies I have had the pleasure of dealing with...

This is my first time ordering from past3presentwatches and I have found them to be a company whose level of professionalism is something a lot of other smaller companies could learn from.

It has been a long search to find a truly great 70s JDM Seiko 7017-6020, this model was famously worn in 1977 by MGR, the legendary actor turned Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu in India. Being a JDM, it was a rare one to find let alone in good condition. Over the years my extended search took me to many countries but without luck. When I saw it on past3presentwatches, glad I made that call to them.

Steve answered my call, shared his knowledge, gave me his honest opinion, and left it to me to decide.

When I ordered, the watch arrived on the following day, tracked, and well-packed in a quality case. There was a handwritten letter from Steve which showed their level of service and dedication to customer satisfaction.

Steve, thank you for making my wish come true and I will come back for more.

Your business is highly recommended to others & my best wishes!
