On 17 September 2025, my wife, purchased watch inventory# C52383 (a Breitling watch) from sales rep: LG (Invoice #117483 attachment #1). Assuming the watch was fully operational, my wife kept the watch safely in the box until it was presented to me as a wedding gift on the afternoon of 10 October 2025 - the night before we were married. On the evening of 10 October - approximately 2 hours after I first put the watch on, the black bezel ring fell off. To prevent creating stress for my wife during our wedding the following day, I used a small piece of two sided tape to stick the bezel ring back on. I also went to multiple watchmakers to find a better fix, but none were available. Following our wedding, on Monday 13 October 2025, I went into Wingate's Quality Watches store (12900 Preston Road, #1010, Dallas, TX 75230), and I explained the situation to the woman at the window - who took the watch and confirmed that the bezel ring was, in fact, broken. I initially requested a full refund, and according to the woman - after consulting with the back area - Wingate's would not provide a refund: "local in-store sales are final and not eligible for return." I let her know that we would be considering litigation based upon frustration of being sold a broken watch - particularly as a wedding gift. Once we departed your store, I immediately took the watch to the nearest Breitling Dealer, and they conducted a full analysis of the watch conditions - and they produced the attached diagnostic and quote for "necessary operations that must be carried out to ensure that your watch operates correctly" (attachment #2). This owner, Robert Wingate had the opportunity to make this right, we were not asking for a refund, but to simply reimburse for what was broken. Mr. Wingate refused to acknowledge the broken watch, and simply said we will "glue" it back together. Additionally, the box and paper work did not match the watch- as stated by Breitling company. After multiple opportunities and persistent emails, this review and other reviews to other sites will be published to the public. We are writing this in efforts for other consumers to not be taken advance of as my wife has been. Paperwork from Breitling has been attached for other consumer to be aware of the poor condition of the watch, the poor leadership of this company and its owner. As stated by Breitling, the watch was in poor condition, not only the bezel was broken This company is NOT an authorized dealer for any high end watch. Buyer beware!! Regardless of how this company responds- we have all email communication for anyone who is hesitant in working with this company. read more

Bob runs a very good shop. Straightforward, fair pricing and great experience with quality service and products.

I found Wingate's through an online search. Their website inventory seemed amazing. I wasn't comfortable ordering an expensive watch online without seeing it, so I took a drive to their office. Their office is a office on the 10th floor of a very nice building. Not a showroom with watches on display. Amanda buzzed me in and asked what I was looking for. She said she could help and would be right back. Moments later she opened a door and had the exact watches I'd spent many frustrating months looking for. The prices were what I was hoping for and the quality of the watches were better then I expected. I ended up getting exactly what I had been searching for. I highly recommend Wingate's. Thank you Amanda! read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would. After calling and inquiring about a few Cartier watches~ Amanda was extremely rude and off putting. Maybe due to our young age, I am not sure. Even in person she barely spoke and gave unkind looks the entire time~ it was extremely uncomfortable and disappointing for both my boyfriend and I as we were looking for my college graduation gift. I usually don't leave reviews, but I would hate for someone else to be treated this way! Our budget was between 2-5k but not sure why that is anyone's business but my own. We also left in a hurry because it was awkward and uncomfortable not because of the price. read more

I've purchased two time pieces from Wingate. Both transactions were accompanied with trade-ins. The experience was top notch and they were fair on the trade-in value as well as working with me to secure the time pieces I bought. They are a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend to any one looking to purchase a timepiece with confidence. read more

Seamless transaction with Wingate's. I called and spoke with Jonathan to request more photos of a particular item. He sent a video of the piece as well as another I wanted to compare. Online purchase system was fast and flawless--and my watch was shipped within the hour. It arrived next day via FedEx packaged well and already sized for me. I was hesitant to shop online but I'd definitely buy from them again! read more

Wow! How you handle mistakes says a lot about a business. I can not recommend doing business with Wingates. I am having an awful experience with Wingates regarding warranty on a bad Rolex Explorer they sold me. Specifically the service from Amanda has been terrible. I've been accused of being dishonest, alleged the watch in photos isn't the watch they sold me, had them Go back and forth on paying for watch shipping back and reverse, refusing to share original listing advertisement and photos, no communication or reply's to emails, excuses after excuses - First no accountability - now finally changing story the watch was "jostled" in shipping and caused scratch. Hard to believe but I don't care just want watch in condition as advertised. I'm patient and ultimately know I'll be just fine. As an active watch collector I can not recommend doing business with Wingates at this time and recommend doing research and saving Every photo and piece of communication and document everything. Once they've got your money, it appears the service ends. I will keep posted on any new events, as they can still turn negative into positive if they choose to. read more

I had the opportunity to work with Bob, Pat, and Amanda at Wingate's, and it was a delightful experience - Especially as a first time buyer. They really helped me navigate and learn how the process works within the industry, and most importantly - not allowing me rush the process and settle for anything less than what I was specifically looking for at the best price and highest value. Worth the wait, and I'm thrilled with my purchase. Rod W read more

Terrible experience with this seller! Purchased a Rolex watch that runs 10 seconds fast a day and they have offered no help at all. I sent to an independent watch repair shop that is fixing it along with replacing the non-oem bezel that they used as a replacement. My advise to any potential shopper with this business is get it in writing that they use oem parts as replacements and if you choose to do business with them make sure your watch is running in spec. Sadly I wanted to have a good relationship with this seller as I buy 1 to 2 watches per year but I guess I'll have to look elsewhere for a reputable company to spend my money with. I reached out twice to the owner by email with no reply. read more

UPDATE: January 2023. Just received my second watch from Wingate's Watches. I had bought a Rolex last year for my wife's birthday. The watch was super nice as was all the staff. Everything went so well, my wife and I went back again. This year, my wife bought me an Omega Seamaster for my birthday from Wingate's. It is also very nice and looks brand-new and works great. Amanda kept in contact through the whole process and had it sent out right away. This is now going to be my "go-to" watch store. Thanks Wingate's! read more

I was on the hunt for a specific discontinued Panerai model and was able to successfully transact with Wingate's. Jonathan was knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and a pleasure to work with throughout the process. Transaction was swift and watch delivered next day. This pre-owned timepiece was by far in better condition than any pre-owned in my collection. Definitely recommend them! read more

Highly recommend Amanda at Wingate's Quality Watches. This was an easy no stress purchase and felt completely at ease knowing we had a 3 day return option should we not like the watch. The watch looks as new and we saved thousands. No disappointments here.... read more

I just bought a vintage Oyster Rolex with Amanda's help. My watch was probably one of the lower cost watches they sell but it was the exact watch I wanted. A classic, simple watch. Besides my wife said I could not have the one with 48 diamonds. They expanded the bracelet as I needed. I would not hesitate to buy another from Wingate. read more

I was in the market to buy a Rolex "Deep Sea-Dweller Deep Blue" 44mm and I called all Rolex dealers in Las Vegas and none of them had the watch so I started searching for it out of the state. I found the watch at Wingate's Quality Watches and I spoke to Jonathan. He gave me the wiring instructions and told me that I can return the watch within 3 days. I wired them the money and received the watch in a Fedex insured box couple of days later. The watch looked exactly like the pictures on their website and it came with the original box and papers. I also took the watch to Las Vegas Jewelers and they authenticated the watch. I will be doing more business with Wingate's in the near future!! read more

I received excellent service and patience throughout the buying process. The associate, Sean, answered all my questions and provided me with a quality product. The only negative from my experience was the poor packing and shipping of my datejust watch. Geez, for such an expensive purchase and $100 for shipping, you would think the watch would not arrive in a "heap" in the corner of the box. read more

I purchased a platinum Patek Annular from Wingate. The transaction was seamless with lots of communication by email. The day after the wire transfer was received, they sent my watch overnight by Fedex. The time, day, month, day of month, moonphase and were set. I'll definitely be back! Tim F. read more

Definitely would purchase from them again. read more

I called to get some information on a watch. 1) They weren't able to answer my questions on what was original and what was changed 2) I asked for additional pictures taken with a cell phone and to send the pictures to my cell phone. I was denied being told that there are enough pictures on the website. I informed them that when you zoom in on the pictures on the website they are not clear. 3) I asked if a good friend of mine could drop by to inspect the watch on my behalf. I was denied being told they don't suggest sending someone to inspect a watch if they're not going to be the owner of the watch. This is just unacceptable. I can understand if the watch was a $200 Seiko. But this is a $9,000 watch. It's not a loaf of bread I'm trying to buy. Terrible business practices. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Amanda today. From start to finish she was just excellent. Went thru all the watches with me and inform me with any question I had. Not once did I feel like I was obligated to buy. Now leaving there I know way more then I did about the Rolex presidential and walked away a happy customer with my purchase. Thanks Amanda read more
