Purchased a Tudor Blackbay 54 from Martyn last month. Impeccable service and not only did he give me a great price for the Tudor he also gave me a great price for my Tag. He even resized the rubber bracelet for me as I was unsure how to do it myself. 100% recommend and im sure ill be back.

I bought a beautiful Rolex DateJust from Timepiece Epicurean & the process couldn’t have been easier ! I spoke to Max who was able to advise me on the best watch for my needs. He sent across some watches he could supply & once I had chosen, all I had to do was send the deposit across and the watch arrived the next day to the showroom. The showroom is beautifully designed and Max showed us through the papers, the classy box & the watch itself. The watch was in perfect condition, ready for me to take home the same day ! It was a smooth, easy and enjoyable process from the start and I can’t thank Max enough for his expertise and customer service. I am blown away by the quality, speed & price you can tell they both care about their customers & the watch business. I will definitely use Timepiece as my ‘watch supplier’!

I was after a Tag Aquaracer for my partner as a gift for when she gives birth to our babby, seen these guys whilst browsing Facebook groups. Contacted through WhatsApp and communication was spot on, sent me any photos I requested, The photos show every detail in good light so was exactly as described, well better to be honest. The watch is literally like brand new, with £1400 saving on a new one which is still available to buy its an absolute no brainer to me. I will deffo be back in a few months to treat myself to a new one 😀 thankyou once again. Top guys 👍

After a lengthy process of whittling down the options, I’d finally decided upon a black-dialled Tudor Pelagos FXD and was about to go to a local Tudor AD, knowing that a discount would be unlikely. Luckily, a final online search listed the watch at Timepiece Epicurean (TE) – still stickered and unworn, and at a very substantial reduction from an AD’s rrp. I hadn’t heard of TE previously. As it’s a registered independent rather than an official AD, I’d be dealing with an unknown quantity and inevitably, therefore, I wondered about the watch’s authenticity, history, guarantee, etc. I needn’t have worried. A phone conversation with Martyn at TE completely reassured me about the company and the watch’s credentials. I paid for the watch that afternoon (via a BACS transfer – for which I was offered a further discount), a receipt was emailed immediately to me, and the securely packaged watch was delivered (by Royal Mail signed-for) the following morning. Great communication throughout, including a follow-up message to check that I’d received the watch and that all was well. After several days of ownership, I remain absolutely delighted with the watch. It’s already spent over 3½ hours gliding above the scenic Yorkshire countryside, where its ultra clear dial, lightness, and comfortable close-fitting form (perfect for a 7-inch wrist) are major assets. And despite the turbulence encountered whilst thermalling beneath clouds, COSC accuracy has seen the watch gain just 4 seconds over 6 days. Awesome. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending TE to anyone wanting an authentic pre-owned luxury watch at a competitive price. TE is co-owned by two genuine, straightforward blokes with a passion for what they do and a desire to provide excellent customer service at a fair price. Great Britain needs more companies like TE, in all sectors. When I ‘need’ another watch, I’ll be back!

I recently purchased a 2021 Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Sapphire from Timepiece Epicurean, and the entire experience was phenomenal. From the moment I placed my order, the door-to-door service was impeccable, ensuring my new watch arrived swiftly and securely. The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Sapphire itself is immaculate, reflecting the high standards of quality and craftsmanship that Omega is known for. Everything was complete, with no detail overlooked. The box that accompanied the watch is incredible, packed with numerous extras that add significant value and excitement to the unboxing experience. A special shoutout to Max, who provided first-class, 5-star service throughout the entire process. His dedication to customer satisfaction is evident in every interaction. I highly recommend Timepiece Epicurean to anyone in search of exceptional service and top-tier timepieces.
