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.

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.

Darrell truly brought my vision to life. I wanted to incorporate my mom's diamond into an…read moreengagement ring for my now fiancée, and I had a very specific vision for how I wanted it to look. From multiple in-person meetings to countless text messages, Darrell was incredibly patient, attentive, and committed to getting every detail just right. Together we refined the 3D model until it was perfect, and the finished ring exceeded anything I could have imagined. The craftsmanship, quality, and attention to detail are absolutely exceptional. More importantly, Darrell made what could have been a stressful process feel exciting and personal. He genuinely cared about creating something meaningful, and it shows in the final product. I can't recommend Darrell and the entire team enough. If you're looking for someone who will listen, care about your vision, and create a truly one-of-a-kind piece, this is the place. Thank you for helping create such a special ring and a memory that my fiancée and I will cherish forever.

After six months of being strung along, we finally received a full refund. While we're relieved to…read morehave our money back, it does not erase what was one of the most frustrating, exhausting, and disappointing customer experiences we have ever had. My fiancé proposed in November, but the original engagement ring was not what he had designed or what we had discussed. The side profile was completely unacceptable and did not reflect the design we had asked for. Instead of acknowledging that the original execution missed the mark, we were told that the only way to achieve the look we wanted was to purchase a larger diamond and start over. Trusting their expertise, we agreed and spent an additional $2,500 on a new diamond, a new setting, and labor. That second diamond became another major issue. We later discovered that the diamond we were sold was asymmetrical. What makes this even more concerning is that the diamond report showed it was from 2024, meaning it had already been sitting in inventory for quite some time. We were rushed through the process of purchasing this stone and were never shown the diamond verification report before making the purchase. Had we been given the opportunity to review the report beforehand, we would have never agreed to that diamond. Instead, we trusted the professionals we were paying to guide us through one of the biggest purchases of our lives. Looking back, the entire situation left us feeling like we were taken advantage of and that we were the ones left carrying the consequences of a decision we did not have all the information to make. The problems continued from there. Because the ring was being rushed to be completed before Christmas, we received the new ring with obvious flaws in the gold that required it to be remade. After that was corrected, we picked it up again only to discover the center stone was loose enough to rattle. We brought it back to be fixed, and when we returned to pick it up again, the stone was still loose. That was the final straw. I was completely dumbfounded that Brian, the jeweler, felt comfortable handing over a ring that still had the exact issue it had supposedly been repaired to fix. After everything we had already experienced, it was impossible to understand how that ring was considered ready to leave the store. At that point, we would have been on the fifth version of this engagement ring. Throughout this entire process, Stephanie, Brian, and other staff members made us feel like our concerns were an inconvenience rather than legitimate issues that deserved accountability. Instead of feeling supported, we repeatedly felt dismissed and spoken down to while trying to resolve problems with a ring we had already invested so much into. After finally receiving our refund, we shared our full experience, documentation, photos, and timeline with multiple highly respected jewelers. Their reactions were shocking. They were completely dumbfounded by the combination of the diamond situation, the lack of transparency around the report, the repeated workmanship issues, and how this entire situation was handled. At the end of the day, we walked away feeling completely taken advantage of. We trusted this business to guide us honestly through an incredibly meaningful purchase, and instead spent six months dealing with stress, disappointment, repeated trips to the store, anxiety over losing the center stone, and a ring that never should have made it through quality control. The refund was the right outcome, but it does not erase the experience. If you are considering making a major jewelry purchase here, please ask for every report and certification before buying, get independent opinions, and make sure you are completely comfortable before moving forward. We wish we had.

My wonderful wife and I were on a staycation and checked out of the hotel. On the drive to our next destination she suddenly noticed and exclaimed, my diamond is missing! We discussed the myriad of possible places it could have been lost like coffee shops, parking lots, parks, the hotel, etc. We discussed how we might go back to the original shop in NYC from 35 years ago and buy another one! On a whim, I called the hotel. They looked for it and let us know, hours later they couldn't find it. Hey, stuff happens. We are still happily married! The next day, the phone rang! Their maintenance man had found the stone! Long story short, we got it back, I slipped him some cash and wrote a sincere thank you letter to corporate. Off to Johnston Jewelers we went! Joyce was wonderful, explained the process, we met with a jeweler, agreed on the plan, got our aged rings resized and resurfaced, and had a stronger diamond mounting installed! Woohoo! It's beautiful and looks amazing! Jean helped when we picked up our rings. It was so much fun! Married life is good with Johnston Jewelers!
