| Picked up an Aquastar Deepstar 1967 ( the silver face) and the watch is beautiful. Easily the most comments I've had about a watch, including vintage Speedie, Carrera, Camaro and Seamaster. The crocodile band just set it off perfectly. The service from Alistair was superb, and the great wooden box, a nice touch. |

Highly recommended and a quick professional service. Thanks for the advice and the strap Alistair. This will look great on my Heuer Montreal.
Will be in touch if i have anymore questions on anything Heuer related.

| I know these 2 entries are written together, but the watches were bought 4 months apart. Most recent delivery 1967 Wittnauer Professional Chronograph. Again, fast service and beautifully packaged and presented. The interesting thing is I've bought a few watches over the past 18 months, but this one and the previous (Deepstar) are the ones my wife likes the best - Alistair has a good eye for "cool". Highly recommended. |

I discovered ATG web page and I fell in love with a Tag Heuer Carrera PVD 1986. He kindly cleared all my doubts and sent me more information about the watch, so I decided to buy it. In my case there was a little bit of confusion with the post service, but Alistair was always there to make all my fears disappear untill the watch got to Barcelona.
The watch looks even better than in the pictures (and the pictures of the web are great!). |

| I had been on the look-out for a great vintage watch for a while and stumbled across ATG quite by chance. What a stroke of luck - Alistair had a fantastic military Carrera Dato 45 (circa 1964) available which I snapped up. I am now a regular visitor to ATG and will defintely buy from Alistair again. |

| I was after a decent leather strap for my Speedmaster and didn't want the standard Omega fair. Found ATG via Google, saw the strap I wanted, had a problem with the ordering but Alistair took the time actually phone me to resolve. Will defo order again - top product, great service and a refreshing customer care. |

| Bought a 1968 Heuer Autavia 30 from ATG in October 2006. Excellent watch, good communications and faultless service. This was my second watch from ATG; the first being a NOS 1969 Breitling Chrono-matic. Alistairs satndards then were the same as now - excellent. I've also had straps and the recent 19mm perforated provided the finishing touch to my Camaro. |

| I bought a vintage style racing strap for my Omega Speedmaster automatic (176.0012) from Alistair. The strap is great and I wear it more often then the original metal bracelet. The service also was great. Quick response on my mails and fast delivery. Some minor problems with payment by Visa but those were solved instantly. |

Hello Alistair:
I was completely surprised when I open the box containing the Bulova Sprit of America chrono watch. I could not believe how wonderful it looked. So much better than the pictures on your web site. The detail is really wonderful. It's hard to believe that this watch was manufactured in 1976.
I look forward to purchasing many more in the future. No tsure my wife will like it though. I can think of worst things. Best regards. |

Obtained a fine 1967 Precimax Chrono from Alistair one month ago... June, 2007. One of the few experiences in all of my various collecting days where things worked out better than expected. Perfect watch, great presentation, and the benefit of Alistair's watch knowledge. A great example of being able to buy the seller, and feel good about it.

| Croc strap! how to get a very tatty Heuer a smart new party frock... maybe silly to spend the money on a quartz, especially one so past its 'sell-by' date... but, the strap is a work of art and arrived next day. The little strap fitting tool is worth far more than mere money. Wonderful! |

Absolutely great service from the Bremont guys and, of course, Alistair who has kept me up to date all along.
Great service from ATG; Bremont have chosen a great Authorised Reseller. |

Alistair,
I just got my black race strap here in Brooklyn NY, it looks AMAZING on my Bell & Ross vintage and is truly one of the nicest bands I have seen-it enhances the vintage look on a brand new watch! It really brings out the beauty of the watch more than the expensive steel band that it came with. I will be buying more. |

I have a Heuer Carrera 1964 Re-edition. I wanted to replace the strap and spoke to the local Tag agent - the price a massive £110-£130 quoted. I found ATG and they supplied the excact strap as the original for a fraction of the price. Quick delivery and good email communication.
Many thanks, Alex, Newbury, England |

| I've been looking for a replacement perforated watch strap for a Heuer Silverstone pretty much all year. Yeah, I know they originally came with a metal bracelet, but they just don't do justice to this great watch, so another leather strap it had to be. Anyway, I eventually spotted Alistair's website and thank the god of watches that I did, because the Silverstone is now the proud owner of a black leather, holier than a swiss cheese strap and it looks tremendous. And the cream stiching looks just fabulous next to that wonderful blue dial. All in all, top service, top strap, top site. So many thanks Alistair. Rache, London |

Your prompt responses and knowledge has been much appreciated. I felt throughout the transaction that I am dealing with a passionate expert.

Needless to say I am now the proud owner of great watch and also a happy member of the ATG community.
