"John, I received my "new" 1970 Rolex Air King today (all the
way overin Bagram, Afghanistan) and I am very pleased with it.
I am always in the Market for a "Cool" Vintage Rolex and
look forward to doing business with you in the future.
Cheers.

"Hi John, Just a quick note to say, UPS delivered the watch
today, so thanks for the quick delivery on that. Also
wanted to say the watch looks great. It's actually in
better condition than I think your photos showed... it's been a
great buy. Many thanks.

"John, I just
wanted to let you know I received the Rolex I purchased from
your company today and am very pleased with it. Your
photos and description were right on. I was also very
pleased with the amount of care your folks
put into the packaging it for shipment. I have purchased
watches from other firms and been amazed at the shoddy way they
ship. I would not hesitate to do business with you again.
Thank you,

"John,
Thank you very much for the prompt shipping of my new (old)
Rolex Super Oyster and the additional strap I ordered. The
watch is wonderful! I am very pleased. The strap is
worth the extra money as it looks perfect on the watch.
The additional perforated leather strap that I ordered for my
Heuer Monza looks fantastic. I look forward to doing
business with you in the future. Regards,
Greg Lord,

"John, just
received my CWS honey padded alligator and had it installed on
my Ulysee Nardin. It is beautiful....what a great addition
to my watch. The quality and color of the hide is first
rate and the stitching is perfect. I'll be back for one
for my Rolex. Thanks.
D. Craig Gall,

"Mr Putnam. I
would like you to know that the watches arrived safe and sound 5
days ago. The watches are magnificent. I could not
be more pleased with them. Thank you so much for your
speedy and first class service. It has been a pleasure to

just received my oversized Jeager-LeCoultre watch. Boy, is
it impressive! I think it actually looks better in person

"I received the
Hamilton Meadowbrook today and it is fantastic! It's hard
to believe that such a watch was crafted here in the good ole
USA! This watch will remain in my Hamilton collection a
lifetime. Thanks!"
"Sure... you may use my note. I've been visiting your
website for years and the last couple it seems you have raised
the bar in regards to really rare watches. I've
dealt with numerous others and they can't find the models you've
been selling recently. All I can say awesome."
George Dumoulin,
St Charles, IL 3/4/2006
"John, Received
the gold buckle. Thanks to you and the craftsman!"
Jay A.,
Erie, PA 2/24/2006
"John, Watches
arrived today. They both look really great. I
appreciate the fact that you do not try to over rate the watch's
condition, nor over price them. I have found only a few
vintage watch sites that rate and price the watches fairly.
Most of the sites either over rate, price too high or both.
Keep up the good work and I'm sure I will be buying some more in
the future."
Dave Claar,
Collierville, TN 1/25/2006
"I received
the Bulova 14kt white gold tank watch a few minutes ago.
It is even more beautiful than pictured and described on your
website. Everyone in the office loves it and wants to know
where I got it. I really appreciate the quality of your product
and website. While the website may seem an odd thing to
remark on, I printed photos from three different sites -- cool
vintage watches - xxxxxxx and xxxxxx. One of the
photos was a Hamilton Gilbert from each site. I sent over
20 different watches to my stepfather so he could pick his three
favorites. Every watch that he selected was from your site
including the Hamilton -- three different sites each with the
same watch but your photo was pulled. Your merchandise is
beautiful, unique, and even better than presented on the web.
I appreciate your prompt responses to my questions and your
prompt delivery. You have a great site and business, and I
wish you continued success. Thanks. I know my stepfather
will appreciate not receiving a citizens or a Kenneth Cole even
more."
Michael Robertson,
Mount Pleasant, SC 1/6/2006

"Please feel
free to use my note to you about the excellent service that I
received from you. Again, I was very impressed with your
quick response and would highly recommend you to anyone
interested in purchasing a watch from your website and would say
to them that they can be reassured that if there are any
problems with the purchased watch, you will be there for them to
address those problems. Again, thank you for your terrific
service!."

Your company and it's products are THE CLASS ACT of Vintage

Enicar Star Diver arrived day early. WOW!!! I am
very impressed. You said it was in great shape, but it

box. It is keeping great time and all the functions work
as they should. Thanks for working with me and I look

received the 1930's Bulova tank watch. I could tell from
the pictures that it was in very good condition, but it actually
looks better than I ever expected. I have been wearing it
since I got it. And thanks for the amazingly fast service.
The watch was shipped the same day I placed the order, and I was
wearing it 2 days later. Thanks again."

I wanted to
let you know that I received both Rolex watches that I
ordered. They are awesome. I actually can't believe how much
better the watches look than the online photos. Thanks again
and I will be back to add to my collection of cool vintage
watches.
Kevin Darcey, CA 9/10/2003
The watches
arrived today. There are in absolutely fantastic condition. It
is quite hard to believe that they were made in the
1940s-1950s. The pictures on your website did not do them
justice. They are so much better "in the flesh". The boxes in
which they came were a very nice touch. Even my wife commented
upon their appearance. I would like to add that it has been a
pleasure dealing with you and I greatly appreciate the
thoroughly professional manner with which you dealt with my
transaction. As a first purchase with you, it has been a
straightforward deal with no strings attached. I will
definitely be keeping a watchful eye on your website into the
future. Regards
Ray Delahunt, Dublin, Ireland 8/22/2003
Just received
and opened my purchase of the 1940's stainless-steel Wyler
Incaflex, and it is awesome!! It arrived in the neatest
packaging and is running great! The speed and attention you
gave me and my order has even impressed this seasoned consumer.
Job well-done/above and beyond -- thank you! I'm sure this
will not be my last purchase from your fine company!
Steven Harr, Harve, MT

I received
the watch on Friday as I hoped. It arrived in great shape and
looks even better than you described! It's rare these days
that my expectations are surpassed, but I'm happy to say that in
every aspect of my transaction with you they were. Your watches
are great and your customer service is even better. Nice touch
with the packaging too! Thank you for taking the time to
help me pick out just the right watch. It has instantly become the
favorite in my collection, and as my collection grows, I will
return to your site again and again. Very cool indeed!
Dave Lowe - 5/20/2003
The watch arrived and is working fine!
Thanks for your great customer service. I look forward to doing
business with you in the future.

Hello. Just
wanted to let you know that the watch just arrived and you were very

Dean Bertoldi - Wallingford, CT - 10/01/2001
I received the
zodiac Olympus watch and it is very nice and in very
good working condition.
Maybe next month, I will order again. I want to order some military
watches.
Thank you very much !
Juanito Castueras

I received the
Mido this morning, and it looks great. The SS markers are the
best feature. A good one to add to the collection
this makes 4 or 5 watches I have purchased from you without a single
return. Your descriptions and pieces offered are definitely "Cool".
A satisfied customer no doubt.
Keep the new postings coming.

The Movado
arrived this afternoon and it is splendid. It is far cooler than the
photograph. The small band is perfect. I want to thank you for this fine
watch. Who would have thought one could fall in love with a watch.
Nancy V. - Davis, CA - 6/6/2001
I received
my watch this week. Gorgeous. I'm also thrilled
with the Hadley-Roma 881 oil-leather strap. All in all, a very classy
timepiece and strap. You can rest assured I will be ordering
from you again.
Thanks.
Tom Speyer - Philly, PA - 6/5/2001
Received
my Hadley Roma tan oil strap yesterday and I must say I am quite
pleased with it! I have purchased HR straps before from my local
watch
repair shop, but this strap seems to be of higher quality. I am
now going
to purchase my all my straps from you! Thanks again!
David Bousquet - Boston, MA - 6/3/2001
Just
wanted you to know that the watch arrived yesterday safe and sound.
The watch is even more stunning and elegant than I had thought. I
cannot wait to see it on my wife's wrist. I'm more than pleased
with the purchase.
I also wanted to let you know how impressed I am by the level of service
you've given me. From the extra attention afforded the watch to
make sure it was in perfect working condition, to the complementary
overnight shipping to make sure it arrived on time, to the
too-good-to-be-true packaging to make sure it arrived safely, to the
adherence to my special request for delivery in a 'generic' package that
didn't give away the sender (and hence the nature of the gift)... I can
only say 'Wow!'.
There are many opportunities on-line for purchasing vintage watches, be
it 'specialist' sites like your own or individuals of sometimes dubious
credentials (selling items of sometimes dubious quality) on
auction sites. I feel quite lucky to have found a site that not
only includes well-represented quality watches at very fair prices, but
also treats the customer so well and stands so firmly behind what it
sells. I am eager to recommend CoolVintageWatches.com to anyone in
that marketplace and I certainly know the first place to which I'll turn
when next I need a unique and elegant timepiece as a gift.
Please accept my hearty thanks to you and your staff. While
on-line commerce is still a world full of hidden traps and snake-oil
salesmen, this purchase has proven to be an experience where what I got
was *more* than what I saw! Keep up the good work, and feel free
to use my words above as a testimonial to the old-world professionalism
of your new-world enterprise. Sincerely,
Brendan O'Brien - Havertown, PA - 5/10/2001
Hello, I
received both watches today, they look and work very good.

Hope to be dealing with you again. Thanxs!
Paul Florio - River Edge, NJ - 5/5/2001
I just
wanted to let you know that I got the watch and, as I expected, it is
even nicer than I thought. It has been keeping great time and it
is in
extremely nice condition for a 1967 watch. I consider myself very
lucky to
have gotten this one. Thanks for all your help.
Jim Theisen - Chicago, IL - 5/2/2001
I received
the summit strap and deployment clasp a few days ago.

original strap. Thanks!

thanks for the fast service. I was very impressed with the quality of
the leather, and look forward to watching it soften.
William Beaver - Kuwait - 2/28/2001
I truly appreciate your interest in trying to resolve this problem to my
benefit. It is rare to

products as you are.
I have book marked your site and will continue to look for that cool
vintage watch.
Thanks again.

Positive feedback has been left. I hope to do business with you again.

David Clough

"Hi
John, The GP has arrived. Sometimes when a watch arrives which you
have only seen in a picture you are badly disappointed. And sometimes it
arrives just as expected. But very rarely does a watch exceed your
expectations on all accounts. Well, this one did! John, you have
seriously understated the condition of this little gem! It looks and
feels new, crystal, case and strap included. The dial is very pretty,
and I am now sure it is original. It has been a pleasure
doing business with you, and I look forward to my next watch from you
already."
