How can I be sure I get the watch I ordered?

any other questions you might have. Some watch terminology

browser at our store or web site. Our patient staff is
more than happy to describe or explain the features of any watch.

testimonials to their good experience with European Watch
Company, and we would appreciate additional comments by mail or

| Good morning Jamie, The watch arrived on time, beautifully packaged. It was in excellent condition, as described. Dealing with your company is the best experience in watch buying I have ever had. This is the third watch I have purchased from you, and I am enjoying them all. I have been so pleased with your service and product quality I plan to make future purchases from you based on the reliability of the product representation and your excellent service. The Omega DeVille I am wearing today cannot be told from new. I can't say enough good things about EWC. Thanks for the great
service. |
| Dear Albert, My IWC arrived this morning. Ordered Monday night arrived Wednesday morning, wouldn't have got any quicker if I had bought it locally! Very pleased with it. Thank you. Sam, Dorset, UK. 01/2009 |
| To Albert, Ivana, Jaime and all at E W C I have been looking at watches on the net for some time and after much consideration and with a fair degree of concern I decided to buy a watch from EWC even though it was 10,000 miles from where I live in SYDNEY AUSTRALIA and I had never bought over the net or given my credit card to someone I did not know or could see. My decision was based on the following. A. They operate from a shop not a P O box or a home address. B. Over the months I logged onto their site[ very good
and clear] I saw a strong flow of stock coming in and
being sold. |
| Good day Albert, I was very pleasantly surprised to find a Patek Philippe Jumbo Nautilus available on the European Watch Company site. The 5711/1A is next to impossible to find, and when I have seen one elsewhere it has been at a higher price for a timepiece in a lesser condition. Having previously bought, sold and traded numerous watches with EuropeanWatch Company it was without hesitation that I purchased the Nautilus. Albert and staff have always been professional, fair and informativein all transactions and exchanges. The level of trust I have in EWC is unparalleled by any other vendor. The Nautilus arrived exactly as described and is a marvelous example of the craftsmanship at Patek Philippe. I wholeheartedly recommend European Watch Company to anyone looking for integrity and a great staff to back up the sale. A purchase at EWC doesn't end when the watch leaves the premises. Albert and team are always there to back up the relationship with responses to questions and advice on the care and maintenance of the watch. As I have said before, many thanks and warm regards from NY (even if our respective teams are arch rivals!), Alex Neil Time's too short to measure with a cheap watch. |
| Good day, Yesterday I received a new automatic Blancpain perpetual calendar, flyback chronograph with moon phase in stainless steel on an X71 bracelet (an 2585F-1130-71 - what a combination of complications!). As usual European Watch Company delivered an exception watch at an exceptional value. Albert and Lina personally ensured that the watch was best suited to me and my lifestyle by discussing all the features available on the watch and possible alternatives that may have been of interest. I greatly appreciate their guidance and expertise. I am delighted with my purchase and equally as important, confident that I have received this superlative time piece at both a great price and backed up by the integrity of European Watch Company. I will enjoy it and an ongoing relationship with European Watch Company for years to come. Best regards, Alex 11/2/07 |
| Dear Albert: Buying a watch using the internet is a new experience for me, and to tell the truth I was apprehensive about doing it. I shouldn't have been! You and your staff were very courteous and answered all my questions and concerns. You had exactly the one I was looking for, the JLC Master Perpetual, and it arrived in perfect condition. Your description of "like new" was conservative - it looks new to me! I am very happy with the transaction - your price was fair, as was your trade-in for my Rolex. I am not a collector, but I can appreciate a fine watch. I am looking forward to years of enjoyment of this watch on my wrist. I am certainly going to recommend you to all of my friends. Having gone to MIT myself, I do find myself in Boston occasionally. Next time I am there I will definitely visit the store. Regards, Craig S California Oct 11, 2007 |
| Albert, I just received my A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Up and Down watch. In its simple elegance, it is a masterpiece that I am pleased and proud to wear on my wrist. Equally impressive is the service that you and your staff continue to provide. I have now purchased my fourth watch from you and have never been disappointed. Everything is just as you describe it and more. The delivery is always quick and the watch always in pristine condition. I check your excellent website often and am always impressed with the wide variety and selection of fine brands of watches both new and previously owned. I have purchased both new and used from you and have trouble telling the difference since you are selective in what you offer while providing only high quality items. I have recently moved toward higher end products in the used market and it is comforting to know that you are there insuring the authenticity of such watches. I buy from you with total confidence and give my highest recommendation to anyone that inquires about my purchases. Thanks for providing the service that you do. I enjoy wearing fine watches and you help make that a reality. Best regards, Santo |
France le 03/09/2007 Dear Albert and his team, it was so amazing when I finally got your item. I had in front of me this so wonderful watch JAEGER LECOULTRE , which was exactly the one on the picture. It was totally what I was expected for !! Our communication was excellent, an you were so professional ! And the price was so correct for this collection watch ! I will probably bring you new customers because I know some people who appreciate watches as I do. So I am sure that we will work together soon ! If one day I come into Boston I will pass to your jewellery. Thanks a lot. Best regards. Gregory R. from France. |
| DEAR ALBERT, THANKS TO YOUR STAFF, I HAVE GOTTEN EXCELLENT SERVICE, FAIR TRADE INS, AND EXCELLENT TIME PIECES. IT IS ALWAYS FUN, TO JUST LOOK AT YOUR WEB SITE. YOUR PRESENTATION IS THE BEST ON THE INTERNET. PLEASE USE MY LETTER ANYTIME.LOOKING FORWARD TO BUYING ANOTHER WATCH FROM YOU. THANKYOU AND YOUR STAFF, DENNIS CRUZEN |
| Dear Albert and Tony, I want to thank you for the truly professional service during my recent purchase. It is easy to get great reports when the customer is happy and the product is perfect, but I say that the real mark of a first rate merchant is how he handles the customer when the purchase does not go perfectly and there is a problem with the product, as was my case. Tony was very helpful with his initial recommendations, but when I called back stating that the problem was still persisting he quickly told me to return the watch and it was quickly replaced. The fact that all of this was arranged via telephone is even more encouraging, as I am a pilot and was calling from several locations outside of the U.S. during this time. Again, thanks for the professional treatment, and I look forward to visiting your store on my next trip to the Boston area. Sincerely Wm. M. Hayes |
| Albert: Thank you and your staff for a wonderful buying experience! The Vintage Patek is even more beautiful than it appeared on the website. You
gave me great advice along the way and I will always go
to you first when another purchase is being
considered. April, 20th 2007 |
| Hi Tony, I received my Patek Phillippe Calatrava watch today and I am absolutely delighted with it. The condition of the watch is superb and the new alligator strap with Patek Philippe buckle really sets the watch off. It is also excellent to have the leather box and even the outer cardboard box supplied with the watch. I work in investment banking and with corporate finance clients and customer service is absolutely paramount. I particularly enjoyed discussing the details of the watch with you over the telephone and the whole experience in dealing with you has been excellent. Thank you for answering all my questions about the delivery dates. I whole heartedly recommend your ethos and your business style. I also find your website to be most interesting and Albert's personal collection of watches is fascinating. Having visited Boston a few years ago (and remembering the fine lobsters!) my wife and I are sure to drop in to see you next time we are in your wonderful area. Please feel free to use my comments as references if you so wish. With best personal regards, N. Parker Brentwood, Essex UK |

| Hello Albert, As usual, many thanks for your patience and assistance today. I lookforward to receiving the Rolex TOG. I see that your inventory has dramatically changed in the past few days. Many watches gone (sold I assume) and many on hold. I'm pleased to see your online business become so successful. You work very hard to provide an excellent quality, with an accurate description and a fair price. That's a tough combination to beat. I'm sure all of us who have purchased watches from you tell all our friends and our "watch" acquaintances. I'm frequently asked how to buy a used watch. There's the long answer that speaks to how to determine a genuine brand vs. a "replica", how to gauge the condition, whether to buy with or without papers, etc. etc. etc. - and then there's the short answer, "Buy from Albert at European Watch Company in Boston". That's really a much simpler and far better answer. You will also never have any doubts about the quality, the value, nor the condition of the watch. warm regards, Alex December 2006 |
| Hello Albert & Staff, I just recieved my new JLC. Your description was not accurate-you described the watch in "like new" condition and I find it to be in "brand new" condition, so much to my joy when I opened up the box. The watch is a beauty & your service was very professional. I am an avid watch buyer & I have found some new friends at European Watch. Happy Holidays Sincerely, Justin S.

| Hi Albert, I wanted to thank you for my new Blancpain Flyback Chronograph watch. I believe that the deal we made in exchange for my watch was very fair on your part. I appreciate your honest and trustworthy business dealings. I will buy more watches in the future and they will be only from you. Thanks. Jeff S. SAN JOSE, CA |
| Over the past several
years I have purchased, traded and sold watches
through European Watch Company. It has always
been a pleasure and an education to work with you
and your staff. Even when I haven't
immediately purchased a watch, I always have come
away learning something new. You have
invariably been willing to discuss the relative
merits of all of the exceptional names and styles which
you carry. But more importantly, you have
correctly suggested those designs and features
which match my personality and active life style
perfectly. Unfortunately, It is all too rare to find such a trustworthy and fair company as EWC in today's marketplace. Thank you and regards, Alex N., NY Time's too short to measure with a cheap watch. |
| Dear Albert, et. al., This week has been one of the worst in recent memory and I could write a country song about all the events that have taken place...wife sick, gave it to me, vacation scheduled but can't make it due to killer flu and to finish it off my dog died...if my wife takes the Range Rover and runs off with the gardener it would be a national hit. The biggest hit and most saving moment was the receipt of my new Zenith Chronomaster. I have lost myself in testing its accuracy with and without chronograph running just to see if it losses more time due to any added burden on the mechanism. I am easily amused I know, but any escapism was sorely welcomed. Thank you for your remarkable service and speedy turnover. Everything is precise and functioning as it should. Original box and paper work with COSC Certificate was pristine and arrived when promised. This is one of four exceptional pieces I have received from you and each experience has been made better than the previous. Thank your entire staff on my behalf for their professionalism and patience. Surf your site regularly and enjoy keeping an eye on amazing creations but I really appreciated you finding specific items like the JLC Grande Date. Thanks for everything once again and I look forward to working with you in the future. Hope someday to get to Boston and actually meet everyone face to face. Dr. Brad B. |
| Albert, It was a great pleasure meeting with you Friday and I enjoyed our transaction. The PP 5035 is a beautiful watch and I look forward to years of ownership. Like most of your customers, I swap, trade, and sell in to and out of watches all the time, always maintaining a large collection. For instance when I first obtained that 3919 Calatrava, it was with the intention of later trading it on. However, there are not many watches that the 5035 can be traded for, so I am pleased to wear it for years, I hope! As for the trade....any private collector, just like trading a car, is better off selling on their own and then paying cash for a new watch, but, as it was, I was pleased with the deal and am thinking of selling off my Rolex. One strange note: after leaving your shop, my Wife and I walked the Newberry Street area and later visited Tonneau and Alpha-Omega, to browse the "latest and greatest" new watch lines. But there was NOTHING in either store to compare with what I had on my wrist...finer than anything either store had for sale. Now that we have met "in person", perhaps, in the future we may work more trades; in the past, I have merely bought from you, but not traded. Good luck on the sales of my former watches!! Craig P. Home-Hilton Head, South Carolina |
| Dear Albert, Over the five years that I have been your customer, I have purchased three watches and each time came away with great satisfaction with your pricing and honest representations. I am pleased to recommend you to prospective clients without qualification. Regards, RCM New York, NY |
| I have been doing
business with European Watch for almost six
years. Albert and Sammy are always knowledgeable, friendly, and honest and have consistently been a pleasure to deal with. Many times I have benefited from their extensive international contacts to locate a special piece at a substantial discount. Michael Noll Partner GNA Mortgage Group, Inc. North Andover, MA |
I
received the watch & it fit's perfectly, NO
need for any extra links.
