5-STAR SELLER! I bought a late 1930s - early 1940s Gallet Multichron 30M chronograph from Watches83 in January 2025. Sig was excellent to deal with and he ensures that his watches go to people who care. about them He worked diligently to broker a successful sale, even though he was on holiday., including sending the watch to his repair person for an inspection post-purchase. My watch arrived as advertised, on time, and carefully packaged. I would certainly buy more watches from Watches83! I'm extremely pleased with our transaction: fair price, great communication, and a really nice guy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Vamos, Sig!!!

In the current era of internet, collecting vintage watches has become a popular hobby ( or call it a passion). Due to that popularity, the number of questionable vintage watch sellers has risen to a problematic height. Have a look Ebay, or on the numerous watchgroups on Facebook: there is no way you can be sure NOT to be fooled by the seller. Wrong parts (so called Franken watches), painted-over dials, damaged watches, fake movements, and entire fake watches. I have been a collector of vintage watches since 30 years back, and I dare say there is almost no way one can buy a vintage watch online in an honest and safe way. That is why you have to buy the seller. In other words: you need to able to have full trust in the selling company or person. Watches83 is a heaven for vintage watch collectors. Watches83 is THE big exception: they sell at honest pieces, they will explain the exact condition of each watch on their website. I have bought approximately 10 watches so far, so I should know! I mean if I say you can trust them!

“I have purchased two watches from Watches83 recently. Both transactions were conducted with the utmost professionalism but also a friendly manner. My watches, both being vintage NOS, were I believe the finest examples of their type it is possible to get today. Despatch was prompt and I am more than satisfied with the overall service.

I live  the UK and will deal with this Spanish company again as they are undoubtedly one of the best vintage (and unusual) watch dealers on the web. ”
