I had this delicate thing to do: offer a watch to my partner for his birthday, knowing close to nothing about watches. Fortunately, I met Arcadi who allowed me to inquire, hesitate and take my time.... See more

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

a frustrating and unprofessional process

My experience with Watchfinder was unfortunately disappointing throughout and, in my view, far from professional.

The problems started with the communication. I was told that a member of staff would contact me, but nobody did. Even after I called myself to follow up, I was again promised that someone would get back to me. Once again, nothing happened.

The transport of my watch to Watchfinder then took around three weeks.

I was later informed that the watch could not be purchased because the serial number on the watch itself was only partially visible. It is true that the full serial number is not completely legible on the watch. However, the complete serial number is clearly documented on both the original purchase receipt and the warranty card, and both documents were provided.

What was particularly frustrating was that, even after I was informed that the watch could not be purchased, the person responsible did not contact me for another week. Several of my emails also remained unanswered. I repeatedly had to follow up myself simply to receive any information.

When I finally received the watch back, I also noticed that the watch box had been slightly damaged.

When dealing with a company that handles high value and luxury watches, I expect reliable communication, careful handling of customers' property and a professional process. Unfortunately, this was not my experience.

The entire process was unnecessarily long, frustrating and characterised by poor communication. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Watchfinder for selling a high value watch.

Could not ask for more or better

I would like to express my gratitude to the Watchfinder&Co. boutique in Zurich, Switzerland for an amazing experience I had a pleasure of having with them at my latest acquisition. Their professional communication and kindness as well as their reliability and trust established made it a unique and memorable experience. I will certainly be returning as a customer and recommending with my circle.

Outstanding Experience Purchasing the Panerai PAM00200

I recently purchased a Panerai Radiomir PAM00200, and the entire experience has been exceptional from start to finish. The watch itself is a masterpiece — the P.2002/9 eight‑day hand‑wound movement, the beautifully balanced 45 mm Radiomir case, and the classic Panerai DNA make it a truly special piece for any serious collector.
The condition of the watch exceeded my expectations:
Perfectly preserved case, sharp edges, no visible wear
Crystal clear sapphire, free from scratches
Movement running flawlessly with stable power reserve
Complete set (box, papers, accessories), exactly as described
Communication throughout the purchase was professional, friendly, and fast. All questions were answered honestly and in detail, which gave me full confidence. Shipping was extremely secure and the watch was packaged with great care.
I could not be happier with this purchase. The PAM00200 is not just a watch — it’s a rare and elegant piece of Panerai history, and it arrived in even better shape than expected.
I highly recommend this seller and would gladly buy from them again.
Thank you for a truly excellent transaction!

Very good experience with the Geneva…

Very good experience with the Geneva office of Watchfinder. They responded swiftly and made sure I got the watch in time. Always friendly and knowledgeable. Was a pleasure working with them. I did not give five stars because of the non responsiveness of their Zürich office. Despite several calls and voicemails, nobody cared to call back. It was then when I decided to contact Geneva for my online purchase.

Exceptional service from Vojta

Vojta, the manager of WatchFinder Switzerland, offers absolutely unrivalled customer service. It the best you’ll find anywhere! The watches are always absolutely mint condition, even better than expected. From the first interaction to well beyond the purchase, Vojta’s professionalism, care, and attention to detail are second to none. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and his commitment to customer satisfaction is truly rare. His aftersales support is just as exceptional as the initial service, making every experience smooth and stress-free. The best place to buy a watch in Switzerland.

After-sale no good

The watch was as described, but a few days after purchase it stopped working for no reason. I contacted Watchfinder's after-sales service but received no response, so I contacted them again this morning... hope springs eternal.

I contacted the manufacturer's official customer service department and they got back to me within minutes of sending the email... incredible, but sometimes it happens! Not with Watchfinder, unfortunately.
