Trust worthy professionals

I recently sold a Rolex datejust 36 to Pride & Pinion. After having a bad experience with another company last year, I was naturally a little bit anxious at the thought of selling my watch so I decided to call their head office for an initial chat. Luke answered the call and he couldn’t have been more helpful.

Luke listened to my reasons for wanting to sell, discussed my options and came back to me with different options and offers. I believe the prices offered by Pride & Pinion were competitive and I sensed they weren’t in this to make a ‘quick buck’.

Once a price was agreed, Luke arranged the delivery to Belfast and kept me updated on the progress. Again, based on a previous negative experience with another company I was feeling slightly anxious but there was no need to be.

I think P&P are excellent and Luke will be somebody I definitely speak to again in the future. I couldn’t recommend them more. Very knowledgable, personable and trustworthy.

Thank you and speak again soon.

Seamless, Genuine, and Professional – Better Than Chrono24

I’ve been collecting luxury watches for over 15 years and have dealt with many platforms and dealers, but my experience with Pride & Pinion has been on another level entirely. From start to finish, the process was seamless — shipping, communication, and transfer of funds were all handled with absolute professionalism and ease.

A special mention has to go to Gavin, who was genuinely incredible to work with. His knowledge, attention to detail, and friendly approach made the entire experience not only stress-free but actually enjoyable. He and the team are some of the nicest, most genuine people I’ve dealt with in this space, which is rare.

Without question, I’ll be buying and selling through Pride & Pinion moving forward instead of Chrono24. The professionalism, transparency, and personal touch they bring is unmatched.

Trade in

Tried to trade in an Omega for a Rolex. After a very low ball offer ( 20 percent below any of the other 3 offers I received) we arrived at a deal. Phoned up to confirm to be told watch 'was just sold'. Then enquired about another Rolex. Was told that was sold as well. 3 days later both watches are still advertised on their website. Went elsewhere.

Very happy customer!

From the moment I first walked through the vault doors in Pride & Pinion I knew I was in great hands. Mark's professionalism and deep knowledge of the industry made the entire watch-buying process an absolute pleasure. He was incredibly transparent and took the time to answer all my questions, ensuring I felt completely confident in my purchase. His passion for watches is contagious, and I can honestly say I am now a customer for life. Thank you Mark and team!

Shady company

Shady company. Told me their watch for sale was VAT included so I responded saying “perfect - remove the VAT & sell to my buddy in NY” & they got defensive saying “that’s not how it works” bla bla bla despite telling me the VAT is 20% of the whole watch (stating this fact so they don’t try and say the VAT is only on the profit).

Clearly not charging VAT & lying like that is something Trading Standards should potentially look at

Reply from Pride & Pinion

Hi Patricia,

Apologies for any confusion in communication on this. I believe maybe it hasn’t been communicated clearly.

Most of the products you will see sold through P&P are from brands we are not official stockists of, and we buy these from our clients, they therefore fall under the “Preowned Margin Scheme” here in the UK, which means there is no VAT added to these products like a new product from a manufacturer would have. Therefore there is no VAT to remove.

If you live in the US we can send these via courier and they will require import charges and VAT to be paid which is set by your home state and import duties.

Hopefully this clarifies the misunderatanding, If you would like help on this or anything else please contact Steve through our online contact form who will be very happy to support.

Best wishes,

P&P Team

Top service from Pride & Pinion

What an excellent watch company. Been on a waiting list for a few years for a rare Omega and Dara managed to source a new one for me. Very helpful, great communication, updating me every step of the way. Dara was excellent, fantastic service. Today my watch arrived from Belfast and it’s beautiful. The packaging certainly ensured it wasn’t going to get damaged in Transit. I highly recommend this company . The watch was reasonably priced as well ! Gary in Plymouth

From Enquiry to Wrist in 48 Hours

Pride & Pinion stood out as the most competitively priced dealer offering a niche Breitling model I had been searching for. I have also followed Nico for years, which added to my trust in the brand.

Their service was professional, with quick replies, clear updates, and genuine customer care. Whether you are buying a Casio or a Patek, you are treated with the same respect and attention.

I asked for extra images to confirm the condition, and they sent them over within two hours.

Just 48 hours after my first enquiry, the watch was on my wrist. They offered a generous discount, included next-day tracked delivery, and added a free maintenance kit.

Many reviews mention they can source almost any watch. Based on this experience, I know where I will be going for my next one.

Fantastic Customer Service

I bought a Tissot with the help of Nathan on the website - he was prompt with his replies and Gavin was quick to help with sizing my watch upon collection.

I'm already looking at buying another one!
