I restore, repair and service a wide range of vintage military timepieces from WW2 and later.
I specialise in timepieces used by the German Armed Forces during and after WW2.
I will buy for cash:
Complete watch collections
Broken and non-working military timepieces
Watchmaker's tools and spare parts
My name is Andrew Leftley and I am based in the South West of the UK. I have been collecting and working on watches and clocks for over 40 years and I have a specific interest in military timepieces.
During my previous career as a mechanical engineer, I worked closely with the Royal Navy on surface ships and submarines. I later decided to turn my life-long interest in military timepieces into my business.
