REC Watches Reviews 

Hal was wonderful we had real trouble with imported and delivery but he helped all the way and here we are a year later and it arrived

I was given a watch with metal from Carol Shelby's little red mustang in 2021 I didnt wear it for a while and when I started again I noticed after a few months that it was starting to lose time. And then with in a month it was just stopping completely. And guess what it was out of warranty by about 8 months. I took it to a watchmaker here in NZ and he told me $1200 at least (watch cost about 3kNZ) I contacted Rec watches and said not good enough for a watch of that cost regardless of warranty. Asked what they were going to do. And to their credit they were great they offered to repair it if I pay for freight there and back, which I did and I have it back working fine. They were great and did not try to back out they just fronted up and backed their product. Thanks REC Watches

The watch looks great - perfect size, beautiful dial, pretty details. Plus Spitfire heritage, everythig for a reasonable price. Online purchase fast, no problem.

Hi,
Received the watch
It looks great and I love the story behind it
However, it is not keeping time and I am constantly having to adjust it

I bought a 901 GW
Exoskeleton from rec watches maybe a year ago, it’s a very limited piece to 188 examples. Wore it maybe 2 times until the watch internally started to make a weird whiny/ grind noise. It was under warranty so I sent it back to them for a hefty price since they’re in Denmark for a very hefty price to ship, only to have it returned shortly after saying they couldn’t find the route to the problem after taking it apart. No replacement at all and a very loud and annoying watch that I have to live with Waste of $2500 for sure.

I have previously purchased REC watches & like the brand & designs . I had an issue with a Fed Ex delivery from them however Yann at REC went above & beyond in rectifying the courier issue . Genuinely fantastic service & I would recommend them for both unique design as well as being a fantastic company to deal with . 10/10 well worth checking out

Very nicely made watch for the price, thanks!

I Had been eagerly awaiting arrival of my X4009 Semtra Black Watch two days before before Cyclone Alfred struck Brisbane.
Thankfully it arrived when it did!
I can only imagine the turbulence this watch went through in its previous life as part of a Spitfire fighting over Britain.
That said, its first few days here were certainly interesting too, as it is rather unusual for us to get directly hit by cyclones here.
Well, the carpet is wet and the fence is gone, but I have my watch!
And I absolutely love it!
It feels absolutely great on my wrist. Not too bulky, but with a nice weight that feels like you are wearing an item of quality.
My Cricket team and my other mates will be getting the whole story about this watch very soon!
Thankyou so much for making such a fantastic Timepiece.
I look forward to wearing it regularly.

I have been out of Australia since November 2024. I will be returning at the beginning of April. I bought the X4009 watch in December and I am very much looking forward to seeing it because Pat Hughes was an Australian Spitfire Ace flying with the RAF during the Battle of Britain with 17 confirmed victories over the Luftwaffe. He only flew in combat for 2 months before he was killed. His Spitfire was only flown by him and the REC watch contains a piece of that aircraft. His Spitfire is currently being rebuilt back to flying and it is heart moving to know on my wrist is a part X4009 and it will be staying in Australia

The turnaround time between placing and receiving the order was much shorter than expected. I later had a question concerning the watch, contacted REC and they responded quickly. The customer service representative was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. The watch is beautiful! I have nothing but good things to say about this company and their product.

We liked the ease of ordering the watch and having 10% off our order. However did not realise that it would cost over 400 Australian dollars to have it delivered via DHL. To Australia.

A few years ago, I saw an advertisement for REC Watches' RJM series. As someone deeply interested in World War II, especially the planes and tanks, and looking for a quality watch, it caught my attention. I bought one and have worn it daily over the past few years; it still works perfectly. Last year, I purchased the X4009 model, which was delivered recently. This watch also exceeds my expectations. It's wonderful to own a piece of history, and these timepieces are excellent additions to any collection. Additionally, their customer service is outstanding; they respond promptly and provide thorough assistance. I eagerly look forward to the next plane or tank-inspired watch. Keep up the excellent work :).

A unique opportunity to own a piece af history, to honour a brave pilot, and to help restore the Spitfire X0009. It is well made, handsome watch, quite worth the wait. It came elegantly packaged. REC kept me informed and I knew it would take time for the special order. It is a great conversation piece. I have ordered a second REC watch as well

Love this watch - a really unique timepiece and wonderful concept supporting the restoration of the BoB spitfire. Great finish and appearance. Communication from the REC team has been first class.

The watch itself is amazing but the band has some of the cordage coming apart. The clasp is really nice, I didn’t like it at first but I love it now.

I still have not received the watch I ordered in September.

Update: We received the watch and my husband truly loves it. There was a problem with FedEx but customer service at REC handled it very professionally. Thank you!

The time piece is incredible! The idea behind the restoration of historic artefacts is genius and executed exceptionally. Their communication was very prompt and helpful when experiencing delays beyond their control. The team worked tirelessly to achieve their christmas orders. Thank you team REC!

Beautiful watch , finished to a an exceptional High standard, I will wear on special occasions as far to good to sit in my collection, One word, AWSOME!

Someone asked me the difference between a watch and a timepiece - the answer? This watch, the X4009 Hunter Green, absolute work of art! Looks and feels stunning, a real talking point! Thanks REC superb quality and service

Well worth the wait. X4009 watch is a beautiful time piece. Excellent quality and detailed to perfection. Couldn't be happier
