They have a couple that I'm looking at. Their prices seem a bit strong, especially with the GBP-USD exchange rate. I'm curious if anyone has dealt with them in the past, and if they are reputable. Thanks.

If you search the forum, you will see that many experiences have not been good.

I watches this site a couple of years ago when I was looking for a 1950s Longines and noticed they had this flagship for sale Longines Flagship steel bombee lugs 1957 | Vintage Watches (vintage-watches-collection.com). This is still on the site today and ALL the stock is identical to what it was 2-3 years ago. I would be very wary and came to the conclusion that the watches do not exist.

I was very close to buying a watch from them in the days before joining omegaforums.net. I have read some real horror stories about that company and feel I dodged a bullet. Their website is actually quite nice with some interesting info and pretty pictures so its easy to assume they'd be good. I’d personally never buy a watch from them knowing what I know now.

Each watch comes complete with a flowery essay 😉

I'm glad I checked here before buying. Dodged a bullet is an understatement.

I've not bought anything from them but contacted them about one of the Omegas they had for sale, they replied that it had been sold and the website needs updating, i replied back and asked what watches on their website they have in stock and they said the best way is to email them with the watch i want and they will tell me if they have it in stock or not. Never contacted them again purely because of their weirdness, be weird by all means but it's not a good business model to adopt when you want people to part with a lot of money to buy your product.
