Jacek is the best
Jacek is a true professional. He is trustworthy and fair. Lifelong customer here!
What sets Tropical Watch apart isn't…
What sets Tropical Watch apart isn't just their incredible curated selection—it's how they treat people. They are true watch nerds who love sharing their passion and taking the time to answer every follow-up question with patience and honesty. Jacek and his team treat transactions like the beginning of a long-term relationship, not just a sale. It is a rare privilege to find a dealer with this level of customer care and ethical standards in the vintage world. Jacek is at the top of his game professionally and personally. Good dude and one that I'll continue consult and buy from years to come.
Above and Beyond
Jacek was great! Very timely responses and even helped to quickly resolve a minor shipping snafu. Went above and beyond to rectify the situation. Couldn't be happier with my purchase or my experience!
Simply Amazing
Fast and secure shipping. Great price and great communication throughout the entire process.
I couldn't have had a better experience…
I couldn't have had a better experience from start to finish! Tropical Watches has a great many watches, and I have been following their site as they post new watches weekly. The site has great pictures accompanied by a thorough description of their watches. When my watch was posted, I quickly reached out to their team and was answered within 24 hours. All my questions were answered, and the team went above and beyond to make sure I was very happy with my timepiece. The transaction was easy, and shipping was quick. I've had my watch for some time now and have reached back out to Jacek and his team for additional bands and bracelets, and I could not be happier with all of them. I would definitely suggest Tropical Watches to anyone, whether they're getting their first timepiece or just looking to add another great watch to their collection.
They say buy the seller not the watch
They say buy the seller not the watch. Jacek I would buy from over and over. He only stocks watches that have been tested and are desirable. His pictures show all the scratches better than human eye. Communication during negotiations are always pleasant. He truly works for the buyer to provide a great watch. He will even send amplitude and watch mechanical data. Amazing guy to buy from. Purchased moonphase day date AP Royal oak from 2006.
Responsive and professional
Very responsive (all within a day or a few hours) and professional. Easy to communicate with, offered a fair price, and sized/shipped the watch with tracking almost immediately. Would readily purchase again.
Great experience throughout
Great experience throughout. Great knowledge. Fast response. And exactly what he said the watch was.
1990 Day date as described (and great)
1990 Day date as described (and great), prompt communication and shipping, and gave me a very fair price for both my trade-in and the new watch. I've recommended Jacek to many friends and will be buying more for sure!
I was a little nervous about making…
I was a little nervous about making this purchase online. However, Jacek was great and I recieved the watch the next day. It was a pleasure doi g business with him and I Love the Watch! When I decide to buy another vintage Rolex I will purchase it from him!
Fantastic Experience
Amazing selection of vintage and neo-vintage pieces, condition was fantastic on all of them too, and the buying process once you've made your choice was incredible, one of the smoothest deals I've had the pleasure to make! Jacek was responsive and did everything he could to make it a pleasant process from start to finish.
Based on two purchases I can say I am…
Based on two purchases I can say I am very impressed with the knowledge and professionalism of Jacek. I would trust future purchases completely. Vintage Rolex can be a tricky field to navigate but Jacek takes the risk out with his honest and detailed approach.
I can’t rave enough about Tropical…
I can’t rave enough about Tropical Watch and it’s owner Jacek! Jacek is very well known and respected in the watch community for decades. He is among the very best in vintage and neo vintage watches. I would put him at the top along side Eric Wind. Know that Jacek will only accept a watch that he sells on Tropical Watch if it is perfect in every regard! And I mean that, PERFECT! I recently purchased a mint condition very rare 1991 double quick set Rolex Day-Date “Tridor”. It is the most beautiful watch I’ve ever seen thanks to Jacek! I will always buy from Tropical Watch because I know I will get a watch that is pristine condition! Thank you Jacek and I’m sure we will be emailing soon for my next purchase!
Fantastic experience with Tropical…
Fantastic experience with Tropical Watch. Jacek was great to communicate with - quick, informative and made the experience easy from start to finish. The watch is even better than in the photos - I think they intentionally photograph in a way to highlight all signs on wear. On the wrist my Rolex 1018 looks almost new. So happy with this purchase.
Bought two watches here
Bought two watches here - highly recommend. Honest, efficient, transparent. Look forward to the third when I can afford it!
20 Years of Collecting, One of My Best Buying Experiences
I’ve been buying and collecting luxury watches for more than 20 years, and this was an exceptional experience. The selection is deep, the knowledge is real, and the support throughout the purchase of my 1987 YG Day-Date with Havana dial was fantastic.
I absolutely intend to do business with them again. I also find myself regularly checking the site for interesting pieces, both as a collector and as an investor. That probably says more than anything else.
Par Excellence
Jacek and the team at Tropicalwatch have provided quality images, accurate descriptions, trust, expertise, consistency, and exceptional service over many years in the vintage watch space. Highly recommend!!
I am very happy and satisfied with the 1970 Rolex Red Submariner 1680 Mk6 Dial with Box & Papers
I am very happy and satisfied with the excellent attention and fast service Jacek provided.
The Rolex is beautiful!
I will continue buying from him in the future.
Thank you very much!
Seamless, responsive, and easy to work with
Jacek was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and the price was fair. It was my first time purchasing a Rolex (milestone watch for baby #2!) and first time doing this online.
Jacek was recommended on Reddit for being a trusted seller. After working with him I can see why. He is professional and easy to work with. My watch was shipped the same day the money was wired and I had it on my wrist the next day! Would recommend anyone who sees a watch they like on Tropical Watch to go ahead and do it. You’re in good hands.
