I've bought and sold watches with Jeff for several years. Always kind, professional and fair. Highly recommend Bernard Watches !

Bernard Watch Co. is absolutely amazing. Jeff and team are incredible to work with, I purchased a Panerai from them 5 years ago, so smooth. Recently sold a Tudor of mine to them, incredibly easy and over the holidays, flawless. Very responsive, clear instructions, prompt payment, etc. They have a nice inventory selection and looking forward to using them for my next purchase. I would not hesitate to use them, buy/sell/trade, they do it all, worry-free! read more

Really thrilled with my Seamaster PO that I purchased from Bernard Watch Co. The transaction was seamless and I received the watch the next day (on a Saturday!). Most importantly, the watch was very well described. I was scared to wire thousands of dollars to a company in a different state so I researched this company exhaustively. My research proved correct - Bernard Watch Co is the real deal! read more

Bernard Watch Co. does an outstanding job! I have worked with them for many years. My wife and I have purchased several watches from them and we've sold two watches to them. In every instance, they have been friendly, honest, responsive and trustworthy. Always a positive experience. Recently purchased an Omega Planet Ocean and I couldn't be happier. I want to say thanks to PJ for all his help and attention to detail. read more

Purchasing a used watch is a new experience for me. Naturally, there's a bit of uncertainty as to whether you'll get a good watch or a lemon. I discovered Bernard Watch Company is a local Austin establishment selling vintage watches online. They have an extensive selection of brands in a wide range of price points, whether you're looking for a basic model or a high-end timepiece. I was extremely pleased with the knowledgeable, prompt communication and personal service in acquiring my vintage watch. The online description and pictures were all very accurate and I also obtained the best price I could find anywhere online. Their warranty also gives some comfort in knowing they will stand behind the products they offer. I have been wearing my Omega Seamaster professional chronograph for about a month now and couldn't be more happy with it. These folks set the standard for service in used watch retailing. Highly recommended. read more

Many thanks to PJ for walking me through my first Rolex purchase. It was quick and easy going through the wire transfer process, and PJ even fitted the watch right there while I was picking it up. I had my doubts on which model I wanted, so I was able to look at both watches side by side. I'm a total noob, so PJ walked me through how to use the watch. Anyway, 0 complaints. Highly recommended. read more

Previously sold two watches that the business can attest to that were graded in very good condition. Most recently, offered to sell a current model Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra graded in excellent condition. I never received the quote offer via email. Ironically, after calling and speaking to the owner Jeff, the quote and shipping label arrived to my email. Afterwards, I received two other purchase offers amounting to $500 more than what this business offered. I sent proof via email to Jeff, and he did not even have the decency to take 2 minutes to say one way or another if he was not interested or to admit he was giving me a low ball offer. Sellers beware- make sure you always receive quotes because from prior reviews this person seems to be a low ball king. As in the past, I am most sure this person will come up with an excuse in his reply. read more

Made an appointment to go in person to look at three watches, a Tudor, Panerai, and a Grand Seiko. I worked with Cory, who was very knowledgeable and kind, and did not pressure me into any decisions. I ended up purchasing the Tudor Black Bay GMT 'Pepsi' from them at a very reasonable price and it has been working great! Highly recommend. One possible suggestion, when going in person it would be nice to be able to view more than 3 watches, just a thought. read more

lowball trade-in watch values and long response times. Jeff takes things personal when you decide to pass on a watch deals, then he wont want to do business again. there are more watch business out there that provide better customer service. read more

I can't say enough, how awesome my experience was with the Bernard Watch Company. Have been looking for a " Tudor Black Bay Bronze 43", for almost a year. Searched all the outlets, Chrono24, Crown and Caliber etc, even full retail at Ben Bridge. I ended up going to their website, after seeing the watch on one of the outlets, and ended up dealing with them directly, which was an excellent decision, as I received an additional discount, for a cash wire transfer. The watch arrived exactly as described, in excellent condition, ( essentially brand new Sold in 8/22 ), with box, papers, tags, and warranty card. I highly suggest you give them a look, if you're looking for Tudor, Rolex , and other luxury brands. read more

Purchased a watch, which needed to be held at a FedEx location due to theft issues at my residence. PJ got wind of this after the hold order and stole the package after delivery. Package has allegedly been rerouted back to Austin, but FedEx has no record. PJ refuses to give me my $6k back until the watch is "returned" to them, despite it never leaving FedEx's possession. Stay far away from this company. They're extraordinarily unprofessional, aggressive, and delusional. read more

Update: Extremely happy with Chris and the rest of the cadre for getting me a Hublot Big Bang rose gold. It was brand new, still in the wrapping and was delivered within two weeks of me putting in the request. These watches regularly have a 6-8 month wait time, so I'm super impressed Chris was able to get such a quick turnaround. Original Have bought several collectors watches here that weren't available at my normal dealer. 2 Brietlings, a Tag, and an Omega. At first I was wary of buying a watch from a non-authorized dealer, but these guys are true pros. All watches are in new condition, with correct paperwork and the transaction process is smooth as can be. I always deal with Chris, I find him to be upfront, honest and polished, just like the watches he sells read more

Bernard Watch - Chris, thank you so much! - Watches Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've had my eye on a certain Swiss watch for quite a while and when the exact one popped up on their site, I took a chance and called. The watch is a big purchase for me and I was a little hesitant in making a deal over the phone/internet. I live in Socal. But all my concerns were laid to rest after speaking with P.J. He was patient with me while I asked questions about the watch. Even though the watch is in used, mint condition, P.J. thoroughly and honestly described the minor imperfections. I went ahead with the purchase and my watch arrived 2-3 days later in the mail. The watch was carefully packaged with extreme care. I am very happy and love my watch!!! read more

So I just realized that Bernard published a portion of our negotiation/conversation online despite my making it clear that I do not authorize that and it is a violation of my privacy and copy right. Again, only a portion in an attempt to save face. This should show you what kind of company they are and how they conduct themselves. Please note how many times the offer changed. I am sure many of you have experienced the same tactics. I would also add that their response is misleading as well. They claim they never saw my watch and quoted me a number based off of not having seen the watch. If you go to your website, the request form requires that you submit photos of the watch and I did complete the form. This company is not to be trusted in my opinion as a seller. As a buyer, I have no opinion and they seemingly have good reviews. Below is my response to them, "requesting I remove my review or they will publish my communication with them..." Jeff, Honestly, I did appreciate your time and I addressed each question, request and concern you had about my watch as I was prepared to sell it to you at below market value. It was you who clearly didn't appreciate my time. Your offer changed 3x times from our starting point of $3,000-3,500 and finally when you said $2800 and you claimed you thought it had a deployment clasp, which clearly wasn't in any picture i sent to you. Once you said that, it gave me pause as I would not sell for under $3,000 and I asked you for some time to think about it and disclosed that it had just been listed on Chrono24 as it takes 24-72 hours to list and I had created the listing before you and I ever spoke. You then responded by telling me, I declined and listed it on Chrono24 and good luck. Then you questioned whether the screw matches, and it does. It was was replaced by Tourneau who did the last service on the watch and is well reputed as you know. Then you commented on the back of the case saying it was scratched, which is normal wear and tear as this is a nearly 20 year old watch. I could pay $100 and have it polished and it will look brand new and you likely polish all the steel watches you take in and sell. But that is neither here nor there, you have a right to rescind an offer and walk away as do I. The only positive to come out of this is that you didn't make me send you the watch before changing the terms multiple time, which in fact saved us both time and money. Regarding your request. I will not be removing my reviews as they are an accurate reflection of what happened over the past two days. Please understand I do not give you permission to publish any email from me and would consider that a copyright violation. I would also suggest you do not publish my email address or any other information about my identity anywhere publicly as that would be a violation of my privacy and I take that very serious. However please feel free to respond to each review as you see fit using your own words and the people reading the reviews can decide for themselves. The net is, if you didn't want my watch you should have just told me upfront. There are many other options out there other than you. I just had thought based on the reviews I read about your company that you were an honest and upfront guy and that it would have been an easy transaction. But clearly that wasn't the case and I have since moved on. Again, thank you for your time and "best of luck". *** I would also like to point out that I sold my watch for $4,000 so clearly it all worked out in the end for me. BEWARE OF THIS PREDATORY AND UNETHICAL COMPANY. I'm read more

I brought a great Seiko watch from them. Great customer service and nice watch. Highly recommended!

Bought a Grand Seiko which was in an impeccable state. Very happy and will come back again for sure. Recommend 100%

Bought my second breitling today from Bernard Watch. The quality exceeded my expectations. Chris examined the watch and the communication was excellent. I trust Bernard Watch Company. They are one of the best in the country for sure. Until next time. Thank you! -Ryan read more

Very smooth buying process. I first reached out via email and traded communications about the pieces I was interested in. I was able to set up an appointment to view them. I looked at three pieces at the appointment and was able to make my selection. Two of the pieces were the same reference, one was a couple months old and the other two years old. They steered me towards the older (and cheaper) piece, I appreciated their honesty and rationale for the recommendation. The price was fair and inline with other examples I found online, a bit cheaper actually. I asked about a lower price but they wouldn't budge, it was worth a shot! I arranged to have it shipped out-of-state for a reasonable price. They communicated well with me through the whole process. I will definitely consider them again for my next watch purchase. You can also follow them on Instagram to stay up to date on their inventory. read more

I'd recently been looking around for a Tudor 79220b, and came across a few in great condition for a ridiculously high price, and a few others for a decent price that were in pretty bad shape. Luckily, I came across the Bernard Watch Co. website and found exactly what I wanted, a watch in near pristine condition at a reasonable price. I dealt with PJ, who was everything you could hope for, personable, helpful and professional. The transaction was smooth, and I had the watch in my hand in 2 business days. I couldn't be happier with my new (pre-owned) watch, I'll definitely check out their website the next time I'm looking for another watch. (I replaced the leather Tudor strap, which was in very good condition, with a long ColaReb. I knew the factory strap wouldn't fit me before I ordered) read more

Bernard Watch - I replaced the original strap with a ColaReb because the original strap didn't fit my wrist. (I knew it wouldn't before I ordered the watch) - Watches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Found this store through an online search and called them about one of the used Rolex pieces they had on their website. Spoke to Chris who was very helpful and respectful. I was extremely nervous about purchasing such an expensive item on line...but their reviews (both on Yelp and other places) were very complementary. Chris alleviated my concerns and we completed the transaction. On top of everything else, their price was very competitive. The watch arrived the next day as promised, is beautiful and exactly as described. I was also very impressed by the way they packaged the watch...the box was very carefully wrapped to make sure it wold not be damaged...above and beyond. I highly recommend this Yelper... read more

100% authentic watches. Just received my GP Sea Hawk this afternoon via fedex express in VA. To be honest I was a little nervous about going through Chrono 24 and Bernard WC, bit wow -- the Sea Hawk is very impressive, well represented in person, just as it was on both the Chrono and Bernard websites. Seriously, I am impressed -- and as a life long Swiss auto watch junky, I am blown away at the level of service. If you are in the market for a real mechanical time this is the process to follow, or I presume that one could call Bernard WC directly. So Gen Zs and millennials pay attention, this is a review about real world, real human interaction and real world customer service. read more

Was kind of looking for a submariner and talked to Bernard Watch. Very polite to a noncommittal shopper. Then i saw a new white faced datejust and sealed the deal in hours. The next day watch (which was everything described) was on my wrist. Professional knowledgeable very polite and quick. I would definitely buy again. Props to PJ for customer service and making this all happen. read more

I want to thank you for one of the most professional and pleasant internet-based transactions I've experienced in a long time.  The fact that your company has endured these many years is a testament to your enthusiasm and skill at your craft. I've been aware of your company for decades but haven't had the pleasure to do business with you until now. I won't hesitate to do business with you in the future.  You'll likely hear from me again soon. read more

Chris and the entire team are true professionals! They worked to expedite my order. They are very knowledgeable and transparent. The selection they have is outstanding and they are super responsive to emails and phone calls! I would recommend them to first time watch buyers and enthusiasts alike. They are always getting new watches, you can see the new updated selections on the website! Cheers! read more

Can't say enough about the staff at Bernard watch. I've bought two great pieces from them and recommended a friend who got her first Omega and she LOVES it too. I appreciate their follow up emails and expert knowledge. I look forward to my next acquisition! FIVE stars for sure! read more

As a timepiece enthusiast (50+ watches). I browse their website often--great selection of authentic luxury watches. They recently purchased my IWC and I purchased a Rolex Yachtmaster. Easy to deal with, top notch customer service. Jeff, Chris, and Cory were always responsive and accommodating. No complaints. read more

I've being doing business with Jeff Bernard and the Bernard Watch Company for over 20 years. I have purchased several pre-owned watches over the years - Rolex and Omega. I have also sold several watches to them. They are by far the best and most trustworthy watch company in the market. Earlier this week I sold a Tudor Black Bay 58 to them. Jeff Bernard sent me a packing slip on Tuesday, received my watch on Wednesday and wired the funds to my account on Thursday. I highly recommend them. You can trust Bernard Watch Company.

great quality watches, competitive prices and excellent service. I have now bought four watches from Bernard and have been very satisfied.

I called and emailed about selling a watch that was left to me. I'm no watch expert so I saw the good ratings they had, and decided to ask the experts. I sent in pictures and made an appointment to go in. It turned out that the piece was not authentic. I was contacted shortly later by the proprietor who spoke to me as if I was trying to scam him when all I was trying to do was check if the watch was real. All that had to be said was the facts, I didn't care. I didn't need the snark Again after response. I am NOT an expert and do not know which items are real or fake. Items are left to me to process I asked your company for help and YOU decided that I knew something was counterfeit and was trying to sell it. News flash guy not everybody gets to work with high end watches every day. All that needed to be said was that it wasn't real and it would have been fine. read more

Great service from this company. I dealt mainly with Chris. I ordered a preowned watch and unfortunately it wasn't keeping very good time when I received it. They honored their 90 day warranty on preowned pieces and had the watch shipped out and serviced free of charge. It was handled in a quick and efficient manner. It is now back to me and working perfectly. I would buy again without hesitation. read more

I wanted a high quality used watch so that I could save a great deal of money. Buying one online, however, was the only way to get exactly what I wanted and so I researched Bernard Watch Co. as much as possible and found that the business was well thought of and legitimate. So, I took a chance. Not only did I pay a fair price, but I received nothing but the best customer service. I paid and the next day my "like new" used watch arrived. It is absolutely perfect in every way and I could not be happier. Bernard Watch Co. is totally legitimate! A++++++ service and quality. Thank you, P.J.! read more

I spotted a pre-owned Omega Seamaster Diver that was selling at approximately 40% below MSRP on their website. The online listing stated that the watch came with the original box and papers dated January 2016. It seemed too good to pass up. I figured to take a chance and if I felt that the product was misrepresented that I would return the product. I bought the watch on a Thursday and was delivered to my home via FedEx (I live in Virginia) the following Tuesday. I must say I could not be more impressed. The watch came in original box, papers, and documentation for factory warranty. The papers indicate the watch was sold on 30 Jan 2016 from a jewelry store with an address in Arezzo, Italy. I looked on Omega's website and confirmed that the store was indeed an authorized dealer of Omega watches. I've only had the watch for a couple of days and friends have already complimented on the "brand new" looking watch. I will definitely buy from Bernard Watch again. read more

I recently sold a Rolex to Bernard Watch Co, and have to say they were very professional, offered a fair price, and didn't try to bait/switch me like some other online vendors did. I would say these folks are honest and fair. I would deal with them again! read more

I purchased a new, never used, Omega Speedmaster Professional watch and the whole experience was flawless. It was a pleasure dealing with P.J. Ingenito and with Bernard Watch. The communication during the transaction was excellent and the watch is exactly as described. I sent my trade in watch along with a Cashiers Check; a was apprehensive about sending a Cashiers Check instead of paying with credit card. However, the same that they received the Cashiers Check they shipped the watch via FedEx. A business like Bernard Watch thrives on its reputation; and I am pleased to provide positive feedback to Bernard Watch. If you like swiss watches, but are not willing to pay retail price, I recommend Bernard Watch. Note: I am not associated in any way with Bernard Watch; I am just a very satisfied customer. read more

Purchasing an expensive watch can be risky, especially doing everything through email and mail. But, Jeff at Bernard made it simple and stress free. He gave me a very fair price on my old Rolex and a great price on a pre owned one. Communication was excellent! Highly recommend this Jewelry co. read more
