Best in the Game , Divan is as sharp as they come and will get the deal done well done Topwatch
Response from the owner:Magic, thanks for taking the time Brad!

I was so chuffed to discover I do not gave to travel to Cape Town anymore to fix a watch!
They not only restored my Seiko watch (which nobody in the past 5 years could get to work again) but it looked like new when I got it back. I also then took 4 other watches and they could repair 3 of them.

Their service is outstanding: they keep you regularly updated per email about progress, as it can take up to 3 or 4 weeks. They even opened shop especially for me on a Saturday to collect my timepieces, as we were unable to do it on a weekday.

Next-up would be our antique grandfathers clock!!

Absolutely brilliant service from Elvin Chetty very professional and very helpful,stunning watches and makes sure the proses from viewing to delivering is smooth big thanks to topwatch pretoria🙏🙏🤙
Response from the owner:Beauts.

What a fantastic experience I’ve just had selling my Rolex to TopWatch. I initially contacted Divan who gave me a ball park estimate and waited for me to make up my mind – always replying courteously and promptly to my messages and phone calls. When the time was right I visited TopWatch’s office in Paarl and presented the watch to Reuben who gave me a very nice cappuccino while my watch was inspected. Once that was done Reuben made me an offer which was exactly in the range quoted by Divan – we did the deal and the money was transferred to my account [as promised] the very next day. So if you’re ever thinking of selling or buying a watch I wouldn’t even both going anywhere but TopWatch – these are top rate guys full of integrity and a real pleasure to deal with. So five out of 5 stars was the most I could give but honestly they are much better than that !!!!! Regards, Steve
Response from the owner:Stunning message thanks Steve.

Brilliant service from Elvin and Divan. The transaction could not have gone smoother!
Response from the owner:Stunning thanks bro

The Topwatch Team personify professionalism! I was kept abreast of my order from my first enquiry right until the time piece was delivered into my hands! Elvin handled my transaction superbly and I am now the proud owner of another Tag!
Response from the owner:Stunning team. Well done.

Excellent and friendly service! Bought a timepiece online, and received it within a day. Was securely boxed and beautifully wrapped. The watch is in pristine condition! I am a very happy customer.
Response from the owner:Yay. Thank you very much!
