I had interacted with them online in the…read morepast and was familiar with their selection and reputation, so it was nice to finally visit the store when I was recently in town. They have a very nice selection of new and pre-owned timepieces from many brands and probably had a selection of about 100 Rolexes on this particular day, mostly desirable models that were priced at the reasonable end of market price. The owner was very friendly and his staff was extremely helpful and knowledgable. They were very accommodating and not in the slightest bit pushy. When I asked for them to pressure test my watch one more time, he insisted that I stay another 10 mins just so he could do a "wet" test and make me feel more comfortable, even though I had already committed to buying the watch and paid for it. Other thing to note is that this seems to be a fairly busy place, with lots of people coming in and out for repairs. I saw two people come in for Rolex repairs and another guy come in for a strap replacement on some unknown brand. I know a lot about watches, having collected them for over 20 years, and was listening closely to what the salespeople were telling the customers about required repairs and costs. Everything they were saying was accurate and honest, and I was surprised at how reasonable the costs were. I would definitely consider doing more business with them in the future.

Taking it to a Cincy dealer today to get their opinion, make request a refund. I will never use them again. Jay

They have a huge selection of Pokémon products, including sets that are almost impossible to find in stores these days. They're also really fair when buying Pokémon cards. My son recently sold part of his collection there and he was very happy with the offer he received. Zach is really great to deal with very honest and he knows his stuff. I don't just come to Arnold's for Pokémon. I've sold scrap gold there before too. I like that they show the live scrap gold price in their website so you know what to expect. They're one of the best family-owned jewelers I've been to. I also want to give a special thank you to Zach for the kindness and patience he showed my autistic daughter when she came in to sell/buy Pokémon cards. He made her feel comfortable and welcome, and that meant so much to us. If you're looking for a good jeweler or a great place for Pokémon, Arnold's is the place to go!

My collection was anything but straightforward - a mix of well-known designers and unusual postwar European pieces. I knew some would require a discerning eye, and I wondered whether they would receive much interest at all. Mr. Hess put those concerns to rest.

His sincerity and kindness made the entire experience a pleasure. His offer was very satisfying and comfortably within the best I had hoped for. I left feeling that both my jewelry and I had been treated with respect. I sincerely hope these pieces bring him a splendid return.

After discussing the issues I was having & poor attempts at prior repairs by other Rolex repair centers, John quickly explained the cause. My dial kept rotating in the watch. Unlike current models my dial does not have pins that keep it aligned with the movement. Instead the dial has a bevel around the edge, that via compression holds the dial in alignment. Every prior repair center stated that the pins were broken off. They apparently were either stupid, ignorant, lazy or trying to sell me a new dial that I did not need. John was able to restore the bevel on the edge of the dial and repair my watch. It runs better than it ever has! Trust your watch to John! Quality repairs take time. Any wait is truly worth it!

I recently had the pleasure of conducting business with Bill Strickland of Strickland Vintage…read moreWatches. Bill has an attention to detail that he exudes throughout his business and it shines through each vintage timepiece he offers. Bill prides himself working with and understanding artists, but I would most certainly say that he, as well as the whole Strickland team, are artists- appreciating each style of watch in its own right and producing incredible photography highlighting not only the watch, but also the human interaction with timekeeping. It's all very beautiful. Strickland Vintage Watches as a whole was very patient in dealing with me, and overly kind. I can also appreciate the old-school "taking a client out to lunch" thing. It's a great touch for the local folks that are looking for a vintage timepiece. I cannot recommend them enough.

I am an avid vintage and antique watch collector and Strickland Vintage Watches has some stunningly…read morebeautiful and rare watches for sale, but I have a couple problems with them and their business. The first problem I have with them is that their watches are INSANELY over priced. This company does a lot of business on eBay and that is where I first found out about them because I was always seeing their watches for sale since eBay is where I get the majority of my watches from. Well, I noticed that they had some incredible watches so I checked out all the items they had for sale and I noticed that they were selling two watches that were identical to two watches that I had. The only difference between my watches and the watches they were selling is that one watch I paid $150 for they were selling for $1700 and the other watch that I paid $200 for they were selling for $850. When I saw this I was blown away, I thought "Are my watches really worth that much?". So I sent them a friendly message asking them what made the watches so valuable and and I never got a response. After that, I thought that they might have missed the first message so I sent them another message a couple weeks later saying basically the same thing and once again, I got no response. I was kind of irritated because of there blatant attempts to ignore my inquiries, but I dropped it for the time being. Once they ignored me I began to do my own research on the validity of their prices and that is when I found out that this company sells watches for appallingly inflated prices. When comparing their watches to other watches that have sold on eBay that were identical to the ones they were selling, I found that they sold watches for five to ten times what they are actually worth, and the sad part is that people actually bought them even though they could have got the same watch for a fraction of the price. The second problem I have with this company is how rude they are. Like I said previously, they blatantly ignored me on ebay but that isn't even the worst part. A couple months later after I had found out what a scam this company is, I found their Facebook and liked their page because like I said before, they do have some amazingly beautiful watches for sale and I do enjoy looking at them even though they are over priced. Well one day I decided to publicly call them out on their dishonest business practices since they had ignored my attempts to ask them about it in private. They had posted a picture of a watch and this is what I commented. "Don't get me wrong, you guys have amazingly beautiful watches, but why are all of your watches so overpriced? This watch goes on ebay for around $150 - $300 depending on condition, $1295 is insane. I'm not trying to be rude, so please don't take it that way, I just honestly want to know why your watches are so expensive compared to other watches that are identical" Here is a link to the picture that I commented on. You can follow their link and see the price and then look on ebay for yourself and you will see what I am talking about. (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=485583291531855&set=a.485583211531863.1073741883.167742863315901&type=1&theater) Anyway, after I commented that, instead of private messaging me, or commenting back with an honest answer, they deleted my comment and blocked me from their page so I couldn't comment on anything ever again. To me, this shows what kind of business Strickland Vintage Watches is. They know that they overprice watches and they don't want people to know that. They are trying to prey on people who don't know what to pay and that is incredibly dishonest. Stay away from this business, if they are selling a watch that you like, check on ebay for it first, I guarantee you can find the same watch for way cheaper.
