Suzie got me a factory strap even though the watch is 20 - plus years old!

My wife decided she wanted an automatic watch. While browsing, we came across a vintage-ish Oris Titan lady’s 29mm with a gorgeous blue dial and a blue rubber strap. She absolutely loved it. Upon close inspection though, you could see cracks in the strap from, well, 20 some years of age. So, we didn’t get that one. The blue dial was a hard find. But it happened, with a factory stainless band though. After more searching I found Watch Specialists Ltd., and I spoke with Suzie. She contacted Oris directly, and found that the blue strap had actually been discontinued,…but black was still available. Now I’m not going to give the name, but I had this watch refinished here (U.S.) at a fairly reputable establishment, and I asked them to locate the blue strap also. Apparently they had contacted Oris as well, and they too said it had been discontinued, only they didn’t go to the extra step to see what was available, but Suzie did. She found that even though this model is over a couple decades old, she could still get the black strap, which I think will look just as well, possibly better. She just sent me notification that she had received it, and it will be sent out to me soon and provided the tracking info. Thank you for helping me get what we were looking for.

Hi Jody,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this lovely review. I’m really glad we were able to help track down an OEM strap for you. It’s always a bit of a challenge with older models, so I was delighted when Oris confirmed the black strap was still available.

I'm sure the black strap will look fantastic with the Oris Titan watch! I hope it arrives safely and that your wife enjoys wearing the watch for many years to come.

Thanks again for your kind words and for choosing Watch Specialists. If you ever need anything else, I’ll be very happy to help.

Best wishes,
Suzie

Phenomenal Bespoke Assistance Even for a Small Enquiry

Following an enquiry to see if a certain Michel Herbelin leather strap was available from Watch Specialists because I was certain a very expensive but incorrect one had been fitted by another company (who repeatedly insisted it was the only one now available) Suzie went above and beyond to assist me, corresponding and sending me links and information via WhatsApp that I needed to illustrate the error … To the point that she was willing to call me after 6.00 pm on Good Friday to help out! Wow! Cannot recommend these people enough!

So refreshing to find a company that clearly prides itself on customer service. Excellent range of quality products at sensible prices backed up by first-rate communications and fast dispatch. A special mention to Suzie who went the extra mile to try and find the perfect strap for my Omega at very short notice. I have just taken delivery of her recommended alternative and am most pleased.

Suzie is the best! Had a problem with a watch maker sending the wrong strap. Suzie acknowledged the problem and was instrumental in resolving the issue immediately. Her communication skills were excellent. If she says it will happen, it does.

What a fantastic experience

What a fantastic experience! Looking for a watch that no one had in stock I stumbled across watchspecialists and I’m so glad I did!
They use small business in the high street that maybe don’t have a website or want the hassle of maybe of taking payments online. Either way it’s helping everyone out.
The watch initially stated as it would take 60 days to ship but my luck was in as a lovely person called Suzie emailed and said one was coming in that day and would be shipped to me the next!
From ordering to the communication was absolutely first class and I really highly recommended them.
The watch is due tomorrow and I’m very excited for it to turn up.
10/10 from me and I wouldn’t hesitate to use or recommend.
Thank you.

Great selection of watches from local UK jewelers

watchspecialists.com has a well curated selection of timepieces and lets you purchase from an array of small, independent shops in the UK. As an American who has travelled to England and Wales, I have fond memories of discovering unique stores with special treasures there! I also collect watches and it is great to be able to purchase online from local jewelers in the UK. Watch Specialists is a trustworthy business that provided me with excellent customer service. I highly recommend them.
