At SKN Watches, based in the heart of Kent, we specialise in sourcing and reselling vintage luxury timepieces; especially Rolex models from the 1970s to early 2000s. What started in 2023 with a passion for accessible brands like Seiko and Casio quickly evolved into a love for high-end watches.
We believe a watch is more than just metal, it tells a story. That’s why we focus on timeless pieces that offer lasting value and character. Whether you're looking for something classic or have a specific model in mind, we’re happy to help. We also buy watches, so if you have one to sell, just drop us a message and we’ll be in touch within a working day.
Our Services
-
At SKN Watches, we offer a curated selection of timepieces to suit a range of styles and preferences, with a focus on vintage Rolex models dating up to the early 2000s.

-
Yes, we also buy watches directly from you. If you have a timepiece you'd like to sell, simply submit an enquiry and we’ll provide a quote within 24 hours. If you're happy with the offer, we'll arrange secure delivery or collection and complete the payment'; a smooth, straightforward process from start to finish.
-
We also offer a bespoke watch sourcing service. If you're looking for a specific timepiece, we charge an initial fee based on the watch’s value and availability; this covers the time spent finding the best possible match. Once we locate the right watch, we’ll contact you to confirm the purchase and complete the deal. If we’re unable to find what you're looking for, your initial payment will be fully refunded.
Not to forget, we also offer part-exchange on our watches. If you have another watch you’re looking to move on, simply submit an enquiry or send us a message. The process is quick and straightforward, and a member of our team will be in touch with you the very same day.
If you have any questions at all—whether about part exchange, a specific watch, or anything else—please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’re always happy to help and answer any queries you may have.
Why Shop with us?
We’ve had a genuine passion for watches for many years and continue to grow that with every watch we sell. There’s something uniquely special about a watch—not just as an object, but as something personal, meaningful, and often tied to important moments. That’s why we take real care in how we source, present, and pass these pieces on, whether to first-time buyers or seasoned collectors.
This isn’t just a job for us; watches are a huge part of our everyday lives. We’re constantly thinking about how we can improve what we do and how we can offer a better, more thoughtful experience for the people who trust us. While our five-star reviews are something we’re proud of, we also know there’s always room to learn, refine, and do better.
If you’re looking for an easy, comfortable shopping experience — one where you can speak to real people who genuinely care about your experience — why not start a conversation with us? We’re friendly, approachable, and always happy to help. No bots, no pressure, just honest advice and a human touch when you need it.
OUR WARRANTY
Every watch sold by SKN Watches comes with our six-month Limited Mechanical Warranty. This covers unexpected internal movement failure that occurs under normal everyday wear and was not present or disclosed at the time of sale. Each watch is carefully inspected, tested, and checked before dispatch to ensure it is in proper working order and performing as expected. As many of the watches we sell are vintage, natural age-related characteristics are to be expected, but we stand behind the core mechanical integrity of every timepiece we offer.
If a covered issue arises within the warranty period, we will assess the watch and, where applicable, repair the internal movement components in line with our warranty terms. The full warranty details are provided in writing in the form of an official SKN Watches Warranty Certificate issued at the time of purchase. This certificate clearly explains what is covered, the conditions of the warranty, how to make a claim and serves as your formal record of warranty protection for the watch.
