Had a great experience with Mike and the rest of the team! I was a bit nervous to purchase a vintage watch but went into their office and tried on a few options until I found one I absolutely loved! They serviced and cleaned the watch and overnighted it to me a day or so later. They even included a free bottle of wine to celebrate my watch purchase! Would highly recommend.
Ordered a pre-owned watch from Phigora, it arrived within 2 business days. I was more than pleasantly surprised with the condition of the watch. It looks brand new and is beautiful. They also threw in a complimentary bottle of wine to celebrate the watch purchase. Phigora has a great selection of watches and will definitely be back in the future for more!
I worked directly with George to find the perfect piece. He went above and beyond to ensure that I was 100% satisfied with my purchase. Dealing with Phigora was a great experience. The office is in a beautiful building on 46th and 6th. Not one of the shady jewelers on 47th. If you are looking for a watch, look here first. They are great!
George took great care of me from start to finish. From my initial unease about wiring funds, to dealing with considerable back and forth emails addressing questions, to lightning fast shipping and a fabulous, freshly polished, like-new watch at a price that by far beats any other (and I’ve researched -extensively, and for AGES!) I would highly recommend Phigora and George and would buy from him again without question ~ thank you so much!
I’ll start by saying George is the man. Period. His communication is incredible—whether you’re already a customer or not. His response time and follow up/follow through are fantastic and consistent. I could’ve gone to a few different places for the grail watch I was after, but picked Phigora because of George, their competitive pricing and comprehensive service. I will definitely be making another purchase in the future and look forward to working with George again!
So I have been on the hunt for a specific Omega Speedmaster for some time. Found some on ebay and other places but there was always some type of hangup to actually pull the trigger. I actually found Phigora by shopping on Chrono24. They had the watch I wanted and decided its best of I go through them directly. Boy was I glad I did, excellent communication, and they worked with me on the price. Shipping was incredibly fast, they sent me a bottle of wine (nice touch) and the watch itself. Well it looks brand new. Its a 2001 watch and looks brand new......did I say it looked brand new? Not sure if they rehabbed it a bit, I dont really care, they sent me a time piece I had been looking for, knowing full well any watch I was getting could have issues based off of age, and I felt like I got a brand new watch. Could not be happier! And will be a customer for life when looking for high end pieces again. Thanks Phigora!!!
I bought a Rolex pre owned mens date just watch with the tapestry dial from Phigora. I LOVE IT!! From the start it was great customer service. I texted them on a Sunday and almost immediately they responded, even though it wasn’t a business day. I bought it at an AMAZING price that cant be beat. The customer service is amazing as well as the incredible communication. Smooth process. Highly recommend seller of luxury watches...will purchase from them again.
I wish all online transactions for luxury items could be this seamless and provide the same sense of security. If it werent for the internet finding a pre-owned version of the exact watch I wanted would have been infinitely more difficult. However, buying a luxury item on the internet is scary. I worked with Julio, who was fabulous. I was trading in a Rolex as well as buying a new watch. He was always quick to respond with any question and made the entire transaction as seamless as possible. I highly recommend Phigora.
The product was as described and the customer service was excellent. Im really impressed and would recommend Phigora to anyone looking to purchase a watch. My communication with George began several weeks before my visit to Phigora. George is pleasant, knowledgeable and amazing communicator. He answered all my questions quickly, provided extra pictures of watches when I requested and followed up to insure all my questions were answered. Overall Im very impressed and would give Phigora my highest recommendations. Thank you George for the great experience, it was truly a pleasure, and I hope to work with you again in the future!
A great experience overall. Head read the positive reviews and Phigora lived up to every one. Mike was especially helpful, responsive and accommodating throughout the buying process and even answer receiving my watch. My wife LOVES her 40th birthday Rolex present! Thanks again Phigora!
I finally bought my grail Rolex - a two line no date 14060 submariner. Had been looking for months and came across a very nice E serial 1990 model listed on Phigoras site. Got a hold of George and asked him several questions and he answered all questions promptly. We negotiated a price and within 2 days the watch was at my doorstep. The watch was in even better condition than Georges description and the pictures had indicated. Almost NOS and excellent patina on the dial. I will thoroughly enjoy this watch for years to come. Rest assured that George will communicate with you before and after the sale and if there are any issues he will work to take care of them. Phigora will definitely be the first place I check when Im in the market for another swiss watch.
I recently sold a watch to Phigora and meet with George at his store to complete the transaction. He quoted me a fair value on the piece through email and gave me a check for the exact price quoted. George is an honest dealer and runs a great business. I will definitely look to Phigora for my next piece. Thanks again.
Cant speak highly enough about the owner, Mike, and my first purchase experience... Im a watch guy, and it was evident from my first conversation with Mike that he doesnt just sell great watches... hes also a guy who loves watches and understands the importance of condition and everything that goes into dealing in quality vintage timepieces. The Omega Broad Arrow I purchased exceeded my expectations in its condition, timekeeping and follow through in the transaction. Cant remember the last time a seller eMailed after the watch arrived to make sure I was happy and invite me to let him know if I had any concerns. Highly recommended shop, looking forward to my next purchase.
Very Pleased Californian:I was shopping on the internet for a Cartier mid-size Panthere watch.and came across Phigora. What an incredibleexperience. I worked with George. He is very professional and made the entire transaction a great experience he went above and beyond. I traded in my ladies Cartier Panthere Womens watch for a very fair price. I then bought a mid-size Cartier Panthere watch. It was sent overnight and I received my beautiful new watch along with a bottle of wine the next day. Phigora has a life time customer.Thank You.Jodi
George went above and beyond my expectations on my first watch purchase. When the arrived it looked over 100 percent brand new and was very pleasantly surprised. Highly recommend George and his store to anyone in the market for a luxury time piece at the fraction of the cost of it new. I guarantee it will look better than new and come with 1 year warranty.Robert Berger, Chicago
George at Phigora is great. I wanted to sell my Omega Seamaster and George asked for some photos. He got back to me right away with a very fair offer, sent me a shipping label and within 3 days I had a check for the full amount. I would definitely do business with Phigora again!
I had an amazing experience working with George & his team at Phigora. They were very prompt in all e-mail communication and delivered the exact watch I was looking for in excellent condition. They were also very educational throughout the process as to what to look for. Would absolutely recommend them and use them in the future!
They offered me less than 50% of what my watch is actually worth right off the bat. Maybe they thought I was a tourist, or maybe they do this with everyone, but stay clear of this place. It’s an absolute scam and you can find a better deal practically anywhere else. Avoid Mike, he’s either the scammer or an incompetent watch dealerEdit: the reply to this comment Phigora just made makes it sound like the difference was mild. I was offered 33% of the retail value of an almost new item made in 2020. They didn’t offer $500 less or something reasonable. They offered me $3000 less than what the item was worth, and when I called them out for being con men, they claimed they mistook the item for something else and offered $1000 more, still undercutting me by $2000. These people are scum, avoid them at all costs
Michael was absolutely superb. Very rarely do u find such a honest, kind and super easy luxury watch dealer to deal with. He made my Rolex transaction seamless. He had my preowned rolex to me better than described. And I might add he included a complementary bottle of red wine. I have bought alot of Rolexes and do not hesitate to buy from Michael at Phigora.Thank u Michael!!John G Eggert San Antonio. Texas
I honestly cannot say enough good things about Phigora. I worked with Mike Iskhakov, one of the owners, on the purchase of a vintage Rolex Ref. 1601. Mike gave me an extremely fair deal on my trade-in and net purchase price of the new watch. Within minutes of promising to do so, Mike sent me a prepaid shipping label and a clearly summarized invoice of the transaction. My watch arrived two days later as promised in professional packaging along with a Certificate of Authenticity and Warranty. The watch not only looks beautiful, but functions extremely well within COSC parameters. Without question, Phigora will my first phone call for my next luxury watch purchase. Mike is trustworthy, reliable, and accessible.
Today, I received a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust 16233 watch with papers from Phigora. The watch is a certified pre-owned watch from the year 2000. My wife and I both carefully inspected the watch and could find no imperfections. The watch is truly magnificent and only needs a minor adjustment to shorten the band. I dealt with George, who is the owner of Phigora, on several occasions. George know his watches and could easily answer all of my questions. If you are interested in purchasing a Rolex or one of the many other fine watches Phigora sells, give George a call. I can recommend Phigora without any reservations whatsoever.
I purchased an Omega for my brother, which he loves!!! He refuses to take it off his wrist, however, the date got stuck and wouldnt advance. I had purchased watches from other outlets before, so knowing this, I started gearing up for a fight. I called one of the owners, Mike, and before I could finish my sentence he said send it in & well take care of it...After assessing it for 2 days, I received a call back stating all is well. He had his watchmaker fix the minor issue and as a precaution, was holding it for the weekend to ensure its quality control. I will continue doing business with Phigora. They understand how to make their clients happy!
The purchasing experience I had with Phigora was first class. I received my watch in the UK within a matter of days and was delighted with the end product. Mike has been extremely helpful and responds immediately to any questions that I have raised.Thanks again to everyone at Phigora for making this a most enjoyable purchase and providing a watch that my wife will love for many years to come.Gordon ParkGlasgowUK
From start to finish my experience with Mike at Phigora was exceptional. Genuine, and exceedingly helpful, Mike helped me purchase the perfect watch for my husband. I would recommend this company 100% as legal, decent, honest and truthful. A terrific experience all round. Thank you Phigora.
There are so many positive reviews that mine seems so redundant.I have purchased 2 vintage luxury watches from Phigora. I have also purchased other vintage watches from other on line enterprises.Phigora stands out. The others claim to service what they sell, but many are not honest. For example, servicing a watch does not necessarily mean that problems are found and fixed. But servicing is required to diagnose the problems.Phigora goes the extra step of monitoring the serviced watch for defects. Then, they diagnose and fix the watch so that the client is not put on a merry go round.Michael
Great business and service and great prices. A+ BBB rating for a reason and I would take that into consideration in buying a Rolex or any other luxury watch..Its the in the diamond district in NYC where there is stiff competition everywhere..NYC is not the easiest or cheapest place to buy a luxury watch (overhead+competition) with dealers squeezing every last cent out of you if you dont haggle price or lack the knowledge of going into this watch game..George gave A1 service and their prices are the best IMO for this area. Reputation is huge in this business. I know why George and staff have the one they do..Go here if they have what you want and I guarantee the price is lesser here. If they dont have it they will get the watch you are looking for as well.
I had been on the hunt for a Santos Octagon in stellar condition, but at a good price. Came across Phigora through the web and found the perfect watch with an unbeatable price tag. Shipping all the way across the country took less than a day and even better, the pictures did not do the piece justice--MUCH more beautiful, new-looking, in person. Mike, the owner, even threw in a Cartier box although the description said it would not come with one.Phigora offers wonderful customer service and merchandise at fab prices. Could not be happier and would purchase again in a NY minute!
My experience with Phigora was excellent all the way. The pictures and information on the website were true, accurate, and complete. Interactions with the company were prompt and easy, and shipping was immediate. I got my watch the day after I purchased it. I will be using Phigora again and wouldnt hesitate to recommend it to others.
This is a watch company that you can trust!!! I had a Cartier watch that I wanted to upgrade and Mike/Phigora was just the place to do it. He was extremely responsive, and found exactly what I wanted at the perfect price. The watch was overnighted, and arrived in like new condition!!! I love it :) I would highly recommend Phigora, and will always use them in the future.
I really cant say enough good things about Mike and his team. I have been looking for a 1987 Rolex or Tudor for a long time, and came across a beautiful Tudor Oyster Prince Perpetual in supreme condition. Mike worked with me through the entire process, helping me with any and all questions, getting me to a price point I was comfortable with, and not letting the watch leave his shop until it was perfect. He sent it over-night and the watch looks incredible - something I intend to pass on in another 30 years. Vintage watch buying is not for the faint of heart, but Phigora makes the process easy and enjoyable. I plan on staying in touch and using them for future purchases. Thanks Mike!!
One of the best experiences ever. This place has the best customer service! I dealt with Mike, he was quick, super responsive, honest and extremely helpful. He makes you feel very welcome (even though all of my transactions were over the phone), and he gives the best advices!
All my questions on the vintage Cartier watch I was purchasing were answered promptly. The purchase went smoothly and the watch was as pictured and functioning. As the watch was a gift, Mike at Phigora suggested replacing the face due to scratching on the original. He went the extra mile in replacing the original scratched face and mailing it to me so I could give the gift on time. Was a pleasure doing business with Phigora.
I just bought a Breitling Chronomat Evolution from Phigora. I ordered it late on a Friday and received it the following Wednesday. I thought was very fast considering shipping was free. And the watch appears to be in perfect condition, not a scratch on it. So, I would recommend shopping at Phigora to anyone interested in purchasing a pre-owned, high quality watch. Thank you.
I purchased an Omega Speedmaster Automatic on Amazon from Phigora, and I had a very pleasant experience. When I received the watch, I realized that I really wanted the Speedmaster Professional. The team at Phigora was amazing while processing the return that Amazon made quite complicated. They sourced me the watch I wanted at a fantastic price, and Im very happy. I was most impressed by Phigoras outstanding customer service and great communication through the whole process! If you ascribe the the buy the seller philosophy, these guys are a sure bet for authenticity and customer satisfaction. They exceeded my expectations, and theyve earned my business in the future!
George and the gang have been nothing but delightful to work with!Hes bent backwards so much to make my high school dream come true of owning a Rolex! Hes been so responsive and I found his prices to be very competitive.I live outside of San Francisco, and there are dozens of places I could have shopped at here to find a similar timepiece, but I didnt choose to do so, because he was answering questions at a moments notice. Unbelievable customer service!Im in business for myself and its rare when I find another company who has the same work ethic as I do.Look no further! Youve found a great company to do business with!StephanieAlameda, CA
My fiance and I received extraordinary guidance and recommendations from Mike and his Phigora team. Mike was incredibly responsive, seemingly working 24/7! He truly went above and beyond in searching for a very specific watch that was just not available. Consider our experience and check Phigoras other reviews to see why we will recommend Mike and his team to anyone seeking exceptional quality and value when buying or selling previously owned luxury items.
These are great. I dont usually trust new business because Im set in my ways but I decided to give Mike and George a shot and I wasnt disappointed. I didnt buy anything from them, instead they helped me sell a watch thats been piling up dust in my safe for about 2 years now. I couldnt find a buyer and was starting to get frustrated even down on myself for not being able to do my job correctly, but these two young hungry guys got rid of my watch for me in 2 days. Im guessing they have more than just their feet through the front door in regards to the jewelry business and I like that. I trust these guys and will definitely be doing business with them again.
I’ve never written a review before; however, I received such an amazing service from George, I had to write one. Let me start by saying, I’m a really hard person to please. I am extremely particular when it comes to buying watches. The watch I purchased (Blancpain - 2041 1130M 53B) was exactly as advertised on the website. George went completely out of his way to make sure I was happy. He took every single one of my calls before and after the sale. I have to say these guys are exactly as advertised.
The other guy talking about undercuts is spot on. I tried to trade my 16014 in towards a 114270 and was offered $4300 in value towards it. The average market value is $5300. I asked him for a bit more value and even offered to put $1200 on top. He comes back to me saying he won’t budge. I was open minded enough to accept a bit of an undercut, all I really needed was a $500 trade-in increase, and he comes back to me with no will to budge at all. They don’t care about customers or giving fair prices. All they want is to take as much from you as possible. I wouldn’t deal with them again and advise anyone thinking about it that they could get a better deal elsewhere. While my undercut was not nearly as severe as another review on here, it was still an unnegotiable $1000 and I can’t say there aren’t better places to go
I bought my very first Rolex from Mike. I was so excited because i have always wanted a antique/vintage Rolex. I spoke with Mike over the phone and emails many times until we found the perfect watch for me. I got so excited to purchase this watch i didnt realize that the size of the watch was too small for my wrist. I called Mike and asked what i should do. He took the watch back with no questions asked and found me the right sized watch.(100% my fault) Not only is Mike very professional and fair his customer service is outstanding. Most dealers would have told me oh well and made me keep the watch but Mike cared about making me happy, not just the sale.It is very refreshing to deal with a company like this. I am now the proud owner of a vintage bubble back rolex that gets comments everywhere i go. I hope and will do business with Mike in the new future .Josh
This place is the real deal. Found the exact watch Id been searching for. The owner was fantastic to deal with. My Breitling Emergency showed up early and was even nicer than advertised. Great communication, great watch and a great business. Im a definite customer for life. Thank you!!!!
I love my Cartier Panthere Ronde watch! The price from Mike was the best of any I could find for sale on the web. Plus Mike was happy to replace a lost crown jewel several months after purchase. I own several Cartiers, and this one is by far my favorite. I wouldnt hesitate to buy from Mike again, and also wouldnt hesitate to recommend Phigora to anyone.
I was visiting New York from the UK and bought a Cartier watch on 29 September from Phigora and visited their office. George arranged for Eddie to see me on the Wednesday. There was a issue with the watch within a few hours. Goerge responded almost immediately to my email, even though he was in Las Vegas! He directed me to his watchmaker. We spoke on the telephone early evening and the solution was to exchange the watch for another one of the same type. We met at noon on the Thursday, after his flight from LV. I did have reservations before leaving the UK but George and Eddies service was exemplary. Thanks
The experience in purchasing an item from Phigora has been unparalleled, in terms of: 1) the constant and informative communication; 2)patience displayed in acquiescing to special requests on the item; 3) friendliness of Mike; 4) versatile and expanded knowledge of the manufacturer specifics for the item; 5) the incredibly accurate condition of the purchased item; 6) the services that were offered as well as the very reasonable cost for the item and said optional services; 6) the warranty offered for the second hand item; 7) the prompt delivery of the well-packaged item; and 7) the genuinely nice and inquisitive follow up upon receipt - something that makes the overall experience be as impressive and welcoming for future business, as I can ever recall witnessing over many years of dealing with merchants.
Extraordinary customer service from Mike at Phigora. Thorough, attentive, and always pushing to make it right, this is the place to buy a fine watch. Mikes priority is not to make a sale or move jewelry, what he wants most is a satisfied customer, first and foremost. This demonstrates a passion for salescraft and enthusiasm rarely found when shopping for higher priced items. Mike is in it for the right reasons, and his selfless attitude and ethical business practices will go very far. Look no further than Phigora.
Recently contacted Phigora regarding a piece they had on the website, George told me he had just sold it but could probably find me another, within 24 hours George located another piece from another dealer, at a lower price. Fantastic service all around, would highly recommend.
You learn more about a person (or company) when things are going wrong than you do when things are going right. Last week we were having problems buying a watch from Phigora and it was getting frustrating. When we expressed our frustration, the company swung into action and really went out of their way to solve the problem. In the end, we are very happy customers and highly recommend doing business with Phigora.
Simply one of the bext Watch Shops on the east coast. This is not a slam-bam pawn shop or shady reseller - This is a genuine, watch-enthusiast owned and run shop in Midtown Manhattan, with an inventory that rivals any jeweler. I initially came into contact with these professionals with a trade / buy appraisal request, but theyve earned a lifetime customer here. Honest, upfront and most importantly, WATCH GUYS. CHeck out their site; youll see what Im talking about. Recommended!
Recently purchased my first watch (well first luxury watch from Phigora.The selection is great on their website with tons of brands and models. They have mens and womens from new to used. They certify the watches themselves but given their vast collection they have a lot of experience with all brands.My watch so far has been amazing. Got a fair price and tons of assurance this was the right place to go.Special thanks to George for being so quick to respond and helpful. Really makes the process easy and encourages me to come back again.Keep in mind the physical location is not really ideal for drop ins. Make sure to call first if you plan to visit or just buy online and have your watch shipped to you.

2022-05-18I recently purchased a 2005 Rolex Submariner from Phigora. As far as I’m concerned five stars are not enough. It was a very pleasant experience. The watch was exactly as promised. The two year warranty card was in the box. They also sent me a bottle of wine in appreciation of my business. Their customer service was second to none , Boris returned my emails and phone calls promptly and was always willing to assist me. I highly recommend this company!!!

2022-08-26This is my first purchase from Phigora Luxury Watches and I could not be more pleased! I purchased a Chopard watch on-line and it arrived via FedEX expedited delivery with signature and ID required. The watch arrived exactly as described in pristine condition along with a 2 year warranty and a complimentary bottle of wine. Phigora went above and beyond to ensure an excellent buying experience. Highly recommend!

2022-04-02I researched a Rolex 16220 on several online company sites, trying to determine the reputation, prices and warranties on their Rolex listings. I ended up making an offer on a 1991 blue face 36mm Rolex, which was accepted. Communication was prompt and delivery was ontime with no issues.

2021-12-28I ordered a Cartier watch on eBay. The order was processed by Phigara in a timely manner. The watch is in excellent condition. My only disappointment is that the face is yellowed and not bright white. It could be the age of the watch, just unsure of the age. Love the watch! Just what I wanted!
