Who are we?
Sumac Watches is a partnership, but Jos Finer is up front. Jos is an enthusiastic collector of military watches and well known in the military watch community. Jos has been trading via eBay and Instagram for more than a decade and specialises in CWC, Seiko, Hamilton, Benrus, Marathon/Adanac, Smiths, Precista and various other issued military watch brands. Sumac Watches started off as Jos's Instagram feed which is still active with projects, watches for sale and watches from our own collection. We also have a YouTube channel with tutorial videos on simple maintenance jobs for military watches, and some of our restoration projects.
We are based on the East coast of Scotland, but are are happy to have formed friendships all around the world with people who share our passion for watches, and military watches in particular, and look forward to getting to know more collectors through this website.
Why trust us?
We don't just buy and sell watches. We specialise in certain watches and brands and so we know what we are dealing with. We also service, repair, restore and prepare our watches ourselves so we know what goes on 'under the bonnet'. We do this to a high standard, because we want the watches we supply to be fault-free and good for years to come, and we want our customers to be very happy both with their watch and with the experience of buying from us. That's why we offer a 6 month non-waterproof mechanical guarantee on all our watches and repairs. All our servicing, repairs and preparation are done in our own workshop so we know the job has been done properly, and all serviced watches have a full photographic record of the work carried out, so you are not just being told it has been done - you can see the evidence for yourself.
The best recommendations for why you should trust us are those from our previous customers, so check our Testimonials page for some amazing feedback.
