Yes. All the watches they sell are authentic. I have visited their physical shop a few times. Very reliable guy, trustable. Well established among vintage seiko lovers.

Bought once  from them. Good service.

They do have many watches with what looks like restored or recon dials though. Not sure abt those.

Buy with confidence. Shop reputation is always more valueable than the quick bucks they make

Pls read the description carefully

Many vintage are stated with non ori case or dial...

Err at least he's honest about it? He do sell authentic watches (other non-vintage models) for sure if that is TS's concern.

What do you mean by not being clean thoroughly?
Is it dirt on the exterior of watch or patina of vintage watch? ???
You can request for watch refurbish but I'm not sure how much they charge.

The dirt. Basic clean-up are usual thing that a pre-owned shop would do I assume.

I see, so far I don't have this issue. My friends deal with them before, the watch also in great condition.
I'm not sure where did you hear that. Anyway, you still can request them to clean up on the spot if you are not satisfy with the condition, free of charge.
Cheers.

I had bought 2 watches from them on line. 1st watch was satisfied even though the bracelet is not original (they mentioned clearly in their website, at least they are honest).
However the 2nd watch is not up to my expectation as the dial tends to move whenever I pull out the crown. They should hv mentioned this earlier, or repair it first before putting up for sale.

They offer a 3 month warranty on all watches sold.
