NAUTIKO ROSE GOLD
Paul R. (Australia)
Looks expensive and classy

Aesthetically, I’d rate this time piece 9.5 out of 10. The combination of the rose-gold case, horizontal brown dial and integrated bracelet looks very classy and expensive, especially on the wrist. It took me awhile to perfectly fit/adjust the strap on my wrist but it was fun. This is my 2nd watch from Vincent and his customer service never fails!

VINTAGE GOLD-DAY
Michael Troop (Australia)
Very pleased and will be a repeat buyer in the future

I purchased the vintage gold day date and its looks amazing. From my first enquiry to my purchase, Vincent responded with helpful information and photos to help me with my purchase decision. The watch looks and feels great on the wrist. A heavier weight bracelet option for an increased price would make it even better, but that's a personal view and obviously a price point decision. As it is, I would recommend it to anyone wanting a special looking watch at a very reasonable price. Very pleased and will be a repeat buyer in the future.

Great Watch

Bought two watches off Vincent. Very happy with the watches.
Vincent was also more than happy to amend the bracelet sizes for me without a fuss.

I have purchased 3 custom watches from Vincent now and they have all been amazing. Not only the actual product, but the service that Vincent provided throughout all the builds was remarkable. See the video below for how beauitful this watch turned out! I will be ordering more watches in the future to come from Vincent.

Very nice watch

Absolutely love it. The dial looks even better in person and the attention to detail is spot on. I was also really impressed that it came with a toolkit, case, and a cleaning cloth. it genuinely felt like a complete package, not just a watch in a box. You can tell a lot of care goes into these.

Incredible

Vincent is truly an artist with his watch builds. I ordered a custom rose gold 39mm seiko day-date with an ombre dial and I am blown away by the quality of it. It has an excellent weight to it and it feels like top quality. It catches the light in all the right places and I find myself just admiring it on my wrist throughout the day.

Vincent is amazing with communication and his attention to detail means that you're getting a watch that has genuinely been built with passion.

If you're on the fence about ordering a watch, then take this as a sign to place that order. You'll be so glad that you did. Thanks again Vincent.

My second watch from Instinct!

Gosh- how can I make another genuine review like the first one I made earlier this year? Had my eyes on the Batman jubilee and of course the quality is second to none. Vincent has impeccable response time to his emails to answer any questions and he gets the watch shipped out in no time! Got my watch delivered in Sydney a couple days later and I’m truly happy (I got compliments thinking it was a Rolex on my wrist)

SEIKJUST NAVY BLUE 39MM
Daniel (Australia)

Picked up the Blue SeikJust during the Black Friday sale and couldn’t be happier. The finish is insane for the price and it even came with a tool kit so I could size it perfectly myself. Honestly one of the best watch buys I’ve made.

My second purchase

This is my second watch from Instinct Time and the quality is just as good as my first. Love that every order comes with a proper adjustment tool kit, makes it easy to get that perfect fit. Great customer service too, super responsive.

Absolutely love this watch. The two-tone finish is classy without being too flashy, and the size is really feminine. I’ve already been asked where I got it twice.

Highly recommend!

Absolutely stoked with my order! I grabbed two watches one for everyday and one dress piece, plus the watch roll, and everything is spot on. The quality feels premium, packaging was awesome, and the roll is perfect for travelling. You can tell a lot of care goes into these builds. Highly recommend!

MODJUST CHAMPAGNE ROYALE

exactly what I was looking for

I recently purchased a custom Seiko Datejust two-tone gold watch with diamond markers and a gold dial, and I couldn’t be happier. The vintage look is clean, sophisticated, and exactly what I was looking for. Vincent was quick to respond, very accommodating, and clearly passionate about his craft. It’s evident that he truly cares about the service he provides, which is rare and commendable. Overall, an excellent experience from start to finish, I’ll definitely be purchasing another watch in the future.

Best birthday gift!!

Honestly blown away by the quality and movement of this watch. I was skeptical on buying a custom Seiko mod for myself as I didn’t know how legit these type of websites were but after reading many reviews and knowing it was from Australia my girlfriend took it upon herself to surprise me with one!

Couldn’t be happier with it, it looks unreal and I would most definitely buy one again. Highly recommend.

Awesome

As an avid watch collector and someone quite knowledgeable within the watch community these are outstanding especially in terms of seiko mods. The movement is perfect has a beautiful finish and quiet indistinguishable from the original model. It is paying homage to. Watch has some weight to it, but he still lightweight on par in terms of weight to the real thing. Customer service was exceptional. Vincent is extremely friendly even came with a watch box signed warranty cards and purchase dates and even tools so that I could adjust the sizing myself, paid express shipping and it was here overnight regardless of my distance will never purchase another seiko mod from another dealer, as someone that has previously owned the real thing couldn’t have asked for a better duplicate

Quality and Value for money

Received this as a Father’s Day gift, the watch looks and feels like it is worth 10 times the amount. The build quality is fantastic, absolutely love it have had several comments on how good it looks. Can’t wait to purchase my next piece.

BUY ONE ALREADY

From the moment I saw this watch I needed it in my life. I reached out to Vincent and he was beyond helpful, any questions I had he was more than happy to take the time to answer. An absolute pleasure. Now the watch, it’s truly stunning. The pictures don’t capture how good this thing is. The green, so deep and beautiful, the case is incredibly finished, overall exceeded all my expectations. Good weight to it too. Have had many compliments on it as is understandable with how good it looks. Will be buying more from Vincent.
