Sonning Vintage Watches Avis 

I recently bought a vintage watch from Chris at Sonning Vintage watches and found him to be entirely trustworthy, fair and professional. I took my time deciding and he didn't push the sale, just lots of patience and just wanted me to be totally happy and to decide in my own time. I will definitely be getting in touch with Chris next time I am looking for a watch and would certainly recommend this company to anybody.
Thank you Chris!

I sold a vintage datejust to Sonning for a family friend and Chris was extremely fair and honest on price . I had been looking at vintage day dates for some time and kept an eye on Chris’s new stock and insta posts. I just missed one , but when I enquired about a new listing Chris was extremely helpful , holding the watch while we discussed and it went for service and prep ( fielding all of my questions along the way and ensuring the watch was as described ). It didn’t disappoint ,its beautiful, service is awesome. V professional . 👍

It was a pleasure to buy a watch from Chris. I’d been keeping an eye on his stock due to his strong reputation and when the right watch came in I knew I had to move fast! Communication was excellent and Chris offered to drive to London to drop off the watch in person, it was lovely to meet him (and his dog!). The watch is immaculate, I am delighted with my purchase.

Entirely trustworthy and professional. Outstanding customer service. I couldn’t recommend more highly,

Perfect service. Perfect watch.
I had been thinking about buying my daughter a good quality watch for some time. I noticed that there were a couple of online sites that curated their collection and had beautiful watches for sale - one was in Beverley Hills, and the other was in Nottingham! I decided to shop local, and I am absolutely delighted with every single aspect of the transaction.

I bought a wonderful 1984 Rolex Day Date. Chris was amazing in bringing it to my house for a viewing, and I bought it there and then. I will most certainly be coming back for another vintage watch for my collection.

Thanks Chris for a fantastic chat and a perfect timepiece.

Absolutely fabulous experience. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Great service and lovely people. Amazing selection and felt like I had a tailored experience from start to finish.
The quality of the watches, their finish, and selection is excellent. I’ve already started recommending them to my personal network.

Buying my first vintage watch from Chris was a genuinely enjoyable experience.

From the moment we first connected, Chris was incredibly helpful, responsive and accomodating. He personally delivered the watch, and it was great to meet someone so knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what he does, combined with his great personality, it was a pleasure to work with him.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chris and the team — the level of care, attention, and support has been outstanding. A real pleasure throughout. Thanks again!

From our first communication to finally purchasing my vintage watch from Chris at Sonning Vintage Watches was an absolute pleasure. Chris communication was exemplary and it helped smooth the process of making a significant purchase as easy as possible.
The watch was hand delivered by Chris and it was a delight to meet him and hear his passionate story of his insight into the world of vintage watches.
I couldn’t recommend Chris and his team more highly than words could convey. Great service and customer relations and after care.
Thank you.

I had an extremely positive experience buying a used Rolex watch from Sonning Watches. My questions were answered quickly, and very accurately, and the item (once externally authenticated) arrived very quickly and exactly as described. Excellent service, and a beautiful watch.

I purchase the 1956 Solid 18ct Gold Oversized (36mm) Rolex Precision. First, Chris made my experience easy. Telling me about the history, the design, and uniqueness of this special watch.
Second, the watch arrived quicker that anticipated with a nice box which had a nice leather case protecting it.
If your going to add some luxury to your collection then take the time to tell Chris what you are looking for and he can find it. If there is one in his collection that catches your eye ask him to tell you more about it and you will be hooked.
I will be returning in a couple months for another. If you have questions about my experience ask Chris to put you in touch with me and I will be more than happy to share.
Thanks again Chris.

Sonning are simply superb! Chris not only answered all my questions and ensured the item was perfect for what I required, matching a specific era of vintage Rolex, he then got it to me in less than 24 hours and on a Saturday. Amazing I’ll be back for more watches!

A massive thank you to Chris for his professional and knowledgable approach. I have always wanted a unique timepiece from my year of birth and Chris was so helpful and enthusiastic, his passion for his business is evident and an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Thank you so much

I have wanted a beautiful dress watch for many years, and thanks to Sonning Vintage Watches I now have a wonderful Vacheron & Constantin. The whole process of purchase and hand delivery was brilliant. The 2 year warranty gave me great confidence as did Chris. Many thanks.

A friendly and trustworthy company who go the extra mile for their customers.
A reassuring and professional personal service and a pleasure to do business with.
As for the watch, of course it's stunning. See you again.

I purchased a 1970s Rolex Datejust from Sonning Vintage Watches some time ago. After a year or so, I began to wonder if the screw down crown was sticking a little on the return and reached out to Chris. He immediately put my mind at rest offering to extend the warranty on this particular function. I recently decided to take up the offer and received the watch back today after a couple of weeks. The operation of the crown is now reassuringly positive giving me full peace of mind. The communication throughout was exemplary and in this day and age this level of customer service and ‘going the extra mile’ is almost unheard of! I have since purchased another Rolex for my wife from Chris and would not hesitate to do so again should the opportunity arise. It is thus a pleasure to provide this review and keep up the excellent work Chris, it is really appreciated.

Working with Chris on the purchase of a lovely vintage watch was first class in every way . Chris has a fabulous manner , courteous , professional and immensely knowledgeable and helpful . An excellent experience all round , first rate communication and a total credit to the industry in every aspect .

I would like to thank Chris for making my watch purchase a completely seamless and enjoyable experience. Chris was able to answer all my questions about the watch and asked his watchmaker on my behalf for additional information. The watch arrived in perfect condition the day after it was dispatched. It was packaged and presented with real care and attention to detail.
I am over the moon with my purchase.

Simply to confirm safe receipt of the Watch, via Royal Mail Special Delivery.

I am over the moon with this little gem of a purchase, and thank you again for your help and support in securing my purchase.

It will most certainly be worn by me with pride and joy.

I have been patiently waiting for several years to find a vintage timepiece which ticked all the boxes for me, and this period Rolex from 1959 certainly achieves that and much, much more.

Thank you so much for your attentiveness and professionalism throughout the transaction and buying process.

Kind Regards.
