Up close
To me, as a long-time collector, the condition of a watch has always been second to none. I've spent countless hours looking at dials, hands and cases under a loupe, nerding out over books and studying auction catalogues. This love for watches is what we bring to you here at FRED's Watches.

I would highly recommend FRED's Watches. Have been hunting for a birth year watch for years, and managed to chance upon a listing from them that is a pristine sample and full set. Watch arrived, beautiful and faultless. Seller was highly responsive and constantly updating me of the progress, so I am really pleased with my purchase and the entire experience as a whole. Deal with these guys with a peace of mind.
I am very happy with my recent purchase and experience with FREDs watches.
Everything was fantastic, as stated, and I am very pleased. Frederic is a pleasure to deal with. He was quick to communicate, and was very helpful in getting the watch shipped to me. I would definitely buy from him again. He has a great selection of watches!
Frederic has been an amazing person to interact with, kind and very clear in his responses! I recommend his shop
Dealing with Fred has been a pleasant experience. Having dealt with many people already here on Chrono24, can say he's been Top Tier. Pro-active, transparant, quick communication. Highly recommend
Exceptional Seller. Truly a delight with whom to do business.
