Dial texture looks like a luxury piece

I went with a rough dial and brushed case. Finish is way beyond what I expected — looks and feels like a multi-thousand dollar watch.

Matching watches, made personal

I got two matching watches for my co-founders, and the engraving made it personal. Customer service was quick and listened to every detail the whole way.

GMT build exceeded expectations

Bezel action is tight, alignment is perfect. Although the dial text isn't engraved it is extruded metal it still looks amazing.

A vintage watch brought back to life

They repaired and rebuilt my vintage Snoopy tennis watch, bringing it back to life. It wouldn’t wind, the glass was cracked, and the band was torn. Now it looks new. This 60-year-old watch looks like it has another 60 years ahead of it.

Perfect proportions on 36mm

I was worried about size, but they guided me and it sits perfectly on the wrist. It's more of extruding than engraving, but it does the job.

From deposit to delivery, they communicated each step. Great experience. The band is genuine leather as well.

Excellent value

Fit, finish, and accuracy compete with watches 3–4× the price. Although, the box wasn't as nice.
