Never used them, but shop owner Lionel Takawira has certainly altered my possibly blinkered perception of what your average vintage watch shop owner might look like.
And he seems to have some nice stuff for sale. What were you looking at?
has a watch I like the look of. Has anyone every bought or had any experience with this vendor?

My wife has an old Olma quartz I've been cleaning up so I started researching the brand and found the above.
Well I know that the "Vintage Buffallo Grain Brown Leather Watch Straps" he's selling for £30 each are the same ones that are available on CousinsUK for £6.
Yes. I bought an absolutely superb 1953 J.W. Benson with 'Everest' dial pattern in September 2016 for £370 which was a more than fair price. Lionel was courteous and quick to respond to enquiries. He knocked £30 off his initial asking price. I'd happily deal with him again, but he really seems to have hiked his prices since his early days on Etsy.
