Speed of delivery more than good. The watch meet description to a tee, only way it could have been better if the watch was free. But that’s just being greedy, more than happy with the total experience... See more

Trusted dealer

I find that the information and videos are really informative and showcase the watches, including any areas of concern. There is a good range of quality vintage watches available at various price points - fairly set. Service is impeccable.

All round brilliant service and watch - couldn't recommend more!

All round brilliant service and watch - couldn't recommend more! I got in contact with Scott with regards to a few watches and his responses were extremely quick and helpful. On request he managed to switch the strap on the watch I finally chose to exactly what I was looking for. Great watch and even better than expected having viewed the useful videos and pictures on the website. Would definitely purchase from here again in the future. Thanks!

BirthYearWatches review

Scott from BirthYearWatches was very professional. He adjusted the watch strap according to my wrist size and was very patient and helpful when we had some minor issue on the side of the DHL delivery. Even then the watch came fast within 3 days.

The watch came in good condition as per displayed, and Scott even included some instructions on how to operate the watch. This above all shows his passion and knowledge in watches, and how he strive to share the joys and enthusiasm of owning a birth year watch with the rest of us. Thanks Scott!

100% would recommend and buy from BirthYearWatches again :)

Lovely to read that Abdul, and glad I got the wrist sizing correct for you. I thought the instructions would be useful so including a copy made sense to me. Thanks

As always a great service from Scott at Birth Year Watches. I have purchased a number of watches from him over the last few years. The watches have been accurately described and as per the photos on the site. Prices are fair and I have been very happy with every item so far.

Great service

I bought a watch from this site, the communications were first rate and the watch arrived very quickly. Unfortunately it wasn't quite right (it had been bought as a gift), but Scott accepted the watch back and refunded immediately without any hassles or questions. If we're ever in the market for a vintage watch again, we'll definitely come here first.

A small Business worthy of your money.

Recommend without reservations. A small Business worthy of your money.

Bought a 1974 Caravelle Ladies watch, for a very good price, from Birth Year Watches. Unfortunately the watch movement stopped working in transit which is easy to forgive in a 49 year old watch. Even though the watch was one of the cheapest on the site, Scott treated me like a premier customer who had bought a top end luxury watch. It was repaired, fully tested and returned working perfectly. Thanks again Scott.

The value of the watch didn't matter, keeping the watch working and the customer happy was more important.

First Time Buyer

I purchased my first ever proper watch from here and I couldn't be happier! After browsing their fantastic website, which contains a magnitude of wonderful and crazy pieces, I discovered the perfect watch (An RLT Diver to be specific) and didn't even hesitate to buy it.

Very easy and seamless process, and I received my watch only 2 days later (considering I made the order at 6:30pm, this was a pleasant surprise to see it arrive so soon).

I will definitely be returning soon to buy what I imagine will be many more watches!

Could not recommend BirthYearWatches enough!

I purchased a watch for delivery to Australia, opting for standard postage, and the watch arrived in 2 weeks, very well packed and as described in the advertisement. Very happy with both the watch and the company who sold it. I recommend highly.
