Second watch I’ve bought from Andrew. A Got custom ‘yellow gold’ day-date as a gift for my cousin. It’s a winner!
The watch is amazing! Excellent job! The packaging was very sturdy and even had a specialized piece to protect the bezel. Shipping was faster than expected as well. My husband is so happy with his new root beer Seiko mod!
This is the 3rd watch Andrew has built for me and once again I'm blown away at the level of detail. The watch is exactly what I was looking for and his customer service is unmatched, as he takes the time to respond to every inquiry and does everything he can to make sure the customer is happy.
This feels nice and weighted. I love the matte mixed with the smooth bracelet. This style was very sentimental to me, so I’m glad it came with all of the features on point and with a mixed finish bracelet as a bonus.
The Panda Daytona I purchased is absolutely fantastic! It is very well made, has a nice weight to it, and looks incredible. The chronograph with the lock-down pushers exceeds my expectations. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.
I will definitely be returning to Watches By Andrew to purchase more watches. Thank you so much!
I have to say everything about dealing Watches By Andrew has been fantastic. I had ordered my new Seiko "Marine Master" no date Sub, I'd paid for expedited shipping originally not realizing that they are based in Toronto. Andrew had held my shipment a day or two until he had found the best shipping route through and everything. He reached out via email about a day after the order was placed, he graciously refunded my expedited shipping and informed me of the current shipping situation he was working on finding the best solution. Upon receiving my new watch I was baffled by the amount of care and protection of the watch for shipping. The packaging was amazing, the watch arrived in perfect condition. My good friend and coworker is on the up to 3 year waiting list for a Submariner Date was with me when I opened it and he was also surprised in the care that went into the delivery of my Seiko. In the photos Im comparing it to one of my Festina watches for comparison. I am incredibly happy with my purchase and will definitely use Watches By Andrew in the future.
I received a beautiful watch that has the feel and looks of my original Rolex Submariner, non vintage. Great work from Andrew! I am looking forward to my next purchase in your shop.
Hi Andrew
I fitted the black rubber strap and I think the watch looks just as good with either
Love it ! Here is a photo I forgot on my first review
This is my second watch purchase from Andrew’s listings. Love my new Kaiseki Elite Edition wristwatch. Love the customization with the words (chase your dreams) printed on the dial. The 41mm fits perfect on my 7 1/2” wrist. Watch was very quick to fit with easy access screw pin links. Love the micro adjustable fit also with the glide lock clasp. Great quality and has a nice weight to it that feels perfect on wrist.
It is a pleasure to review this classic Seiko watch. It is a custom Submariner watch, stainless steel, sapphire, crystal, ceramic black bezel and Seiko’s NMH-35 Japanese movement. You may see a lot of copies and mods on various websites however, only Andrew certified that this is a custom made submariner by his standards. It has amazing attention to detail in becoming a rep of the latest submariner model. I know that Andrew does not sell any of his watches pretending to be anything other than custom made Seiko’s, however, this one if you don’t pay attention to detail, and viewed from 10 feet of distance. People might think you’re actually wearing a R submariner stainless steel with the oyster bracelet. Once you put it on the watch feels amazing. It is not too heavy or too light however, it’s elegant and practical you can use it to be worn 24 hours a day. It is luxurious enough to be worn on a formal activity, but sporty enough that can look good on any sporting activity. This particular model, you can wear it to swim and do sports in the water without the fear of losing your watch to a leak and destruction of the inner mechanism.The bezel is you need directional and has the right feel. The price is incredibly competitive this shows you that you don’t have to spend $10-$15,000 for a time piece with quality classic lines and performance. This watch is awesome. I own several Rolex Mariners and to tell you the truth it feels like any other of my submariners and if it wasn’t for the fact that it says Seiko on the dial, you would think you’re wearing a Submariner. I have bought by now more than half a dozen of rep and mods from Andrew and I’m not disappointed or have remorse about not purchasing from another brand.
It’s always a pleasure for me to load up yet another review on watches by Andrew. This one is very unique and new four this year. Rolex introduced the land dweller this year (2025) bringing back some nostalgia because of the retro looks. I’ve only seen this watch on the Rolex website, however when I saw this replica, I was stunned. I had to order it. It uses Seiko’s legendary and reliable automatic, NH 35 custom Seiko Land-Dweller Mod, 40 mm in diameter. The bracelet is in SS, but interestingly is very similar to the bracelet used on Patek-Philippe watches. I am thoroughly enjoying this one. I can wear it on a daily basis, sport and casual or to go out and do some fine dining. In my mind, it’s not meant to look like a replica, but rather a watch by itself sign by Andrew congratulations Andrew. It’s a pleasure for me to submit this review.
The Iron Man dial and bezel with custom rose gold case and band, and exhibition back looks amazing. It brings a smile to my face every time I look at it.
Couldn’t be happier with my purchase. ( won’t be last) arrived in less than a week and I appreciate Andrew always responding in a timely manner when I had a question. The Micro adjustment and screw link pins were a nice touch. Thanks again Andrew.
I recently purchased the Explorer II, and I couldn’t be happier!. The watch is beautiful and comfortable to wear!. Andrew is an amazing communicator who walked me through every step to purchase this watch.
Once again Andrew continues to shine! Delivery was superb (less than a week, considering tariffs and customs), quality craftsmanship. We chose the 36 mm instead of the 39 mm.
With the NH35 movement , it is accurate, and very similar to Rolex movement. Great service and communication skills. If you need further customization, he’s easily reached and straight with you. Can’t say enough good things about him!
If you have any issues or are undecided on which model to order, reach out to him and ask as many questions as you wish, and he will guide you. His extensive knowledge in watch making is evident by the attention to detail in everything he does. Highly recommended.
Andrew is in a class of his own. His customer service is above and beyond. I purchased the Explorer II, and I couldn’t be more pleased. It absolutely stunning, and a joy to wear.
I just received my new Rootbeer Two-Tone GMT watch and couldn't be happier. As you can see in the photo, the combination of steel and rose gold accents is simply spectacular.
But beyond the beauty of the piece, what really stood out was Andrew's customer service. His attentiveness made the entire shopping experience seamless. Shipping was also super fast, which is always appreciated when you're excited about receiving something new.
This has definitely been one of the best shopping experiences I've ever had. I'm more than ready for my second piece!
Custom Yachtmaster Watch | Rose Gold
Where to start?This Deepsea Dweller is a wonderful watch,not only is it big it sits very comfortably after I removed 4 links using the handy tools provided.The attention to detail truly is first class from the domed Sapphire lens to the sheen in the ceramic bezel this watch makes a statement,this is my first buy of a Seiko mod and by the quality of the watch plus the outstanding customer service I received from Andrew himself I will be shopping here again very soon, highly recommend thanks again

Ordered my 2nd watch from Andrew, the Deep Sea model. The watch is big bold and beautiful as expected. Thanks Andrew!
I recently received The NO DATE (important design feature) black submariner watch and I am so pleased with the result.
It feels and wears like my old submariner and it looks amazing. Furthermore Andrew was so helpful with my questions regarding the sizing of the wristband
with videos on how to do so. AND to my surprise, besides the leather case it also came with very handy tools for the task at hand. I can tell that Andrew is
very conscious of building an online brand of quality watches. If anyone is looking for exceptional timepieces at a fraction of the price look no further, Watches by Andrew is the site you want to use.
Thanks again Andrew
Ordered mine and it arrived quickly. Lovely packaging and more importantly, the watch itself is high quality and really nice. Andrew kept me informed of dispatch and delivery dates. I’ll definitely be ordering another.
Ordered a custom Seiko GMT mod from Andrew and when I received it the movement did not work. Notified Andrew and he responded immediately ready to remedy the issue which was great to hear. Well this is just the beginning..This was a Xmas present for someone and I knew by the time I would receive the watch back that it would probably not be in time. Well Andrew saved the day and immediately sent me a replacement watch the NEXT DAY. Absolute legend. Talk about customer service. Thank you again Andrew!!!
Very pleased with my watch purchase. Andrew's customer service is top notch.
Thank you Andrew well done.
