    Had the pleasure of purchasing an Oris from Giorgio, he was incredibly helpful and took the time to explain all the details of the watches I was looking at, which really helped in my decision. I don’t look like the typical luxury watch buyer but he gave me the same exceptional service anyone else would receive and I felt welcomed. He also kept me updated weekly as my watch went through the shipping process. This is my first luxury watch, and I was so impressed with the level of service from Bandiera. I’ll be back!

    I haven't had the opportunity to personally meet Giorgio or visit the store but he has been very professional and has taken plenty of time to go through things over the phone and text. I would recommend Giorgio and Bandiera to anyone looking for a timepiece and exceptional service. Thank you

    Great boutique to buy a luxury watch. Giorgio Bandiera helped me to purchase a Seiko Cocktail Time. It was a pleasure doing business with him, and great service too. Highly recommended.

    I am a picky buyer, I look for the best price and the sales staff treated me very well AND was willing to negotiate. My sales agent Nareg was polite, professional and gave me an amazing price for a Gucci watch. I strongly suggest to go there and at least give them a chance. The negative reviews are their experiences and this was mine. I would go back in a heart beat, go and see for yourself. Amazing selection and service

    Joel took a considerable amount of time to speak with me on the phone and educate me further about a watch I was interested in. Considering I was just looking for info at that point, I was amazed how long he spoke with me for. It also stood out to me immediately he wasn’t just trying to sell me something. Giorgio was also phenomenal. Will be coming back here in the future for sure.

    With every purchase the team at Bandiera has been extremely helpful. From helping me curate my watch collection to the design of a custom ring for my wife to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary, it has been a pleasure doing business with Bandiera. I highly recommend them.

    I visited this place while we were downtown. They have a great selection of watches and also very helpful and if you request a watch, they will try to help you find it. They have many brands to choose from so I'm sure you'll be able to find something you love. My first time going there so it was a great experience. I would recommend this place if your looking for a great watch. I was just wondering Yorkville and doing shopping and found this gem of a store.

    Sent out my Ulysse Nardin for repair. It looks brand new and couldn’t be happier. Bandiera was kind, friendly and professional. Thank you!

    The team at bandiera jewellers are impeccable when it comes to customer service (Giorgio and Bruno) while making sure a timely procurement on the items I’ve requested. The highest degree of professionalism and friendliness to ensure as a customer you are never pressured into anything, in fact will always customize to your personal needs. Just wanted to thank the team once again for their support. James

    I wanted to thank the team at Bandiera Jewellers in Toronto, most notably Victoria Cho. I wanted to surprise my husband with a watch for his birthday. I called and spoke to Victoria she spend a great deal of time with me offering advise and providing me with several options to meet my needs. Victoria was patient, friendly and knowledgeable, she went beyond my expectations in providing excellent customer service. She expedited my purchase, had the order shipped all in time for me to surprise my husband. I look forward to my next purchase and would highly recommend Bandiera Jewellers and Victoria.

    Look no further than Bandiera if you're shopping for the brands they carry! Friendly service; a good range of watches and brands; and convenient location. For context, I am quite early in my own watch collecting journey, and was shopping around this time for my dad's upcoming special birthday. I carefully factored in the availability and price of the specific watch I wanted at the time, while strategically planning to form a relationship with an AD that had the brands and service that I could trust. After browsing their website, I decided to visit the Yorkville location. Giorgio was friendly, answered all of my novice questions, did not pressure me in any way to make a sale, worked with me on a good price, and not only let me - but actually encouraged me - to take a look at a wide range of watches that I consider to be grail-type watches far ahead into the future. I am happy to do business here, and can recommened that others consider this as a great option in downtown Toronto. I have since also visited their Vaughan location and can say that they have great friendly service there too along with a bigger showroom and more brands. Other notes: - they are open by appointment and are practicing health and safety protocols - this Yorkville location has a limited display of watches compared to their total inventory, so if there are specific watches you want to browse, I recommend to set this up a couple days in advance over email or phone, so they can coordinate with their Vaughan location if needed - Tudor, Omega, Seiko and some other brands are displayed exclusively at their Vaughan location due to their limited space in Yorkville, however you can still view those specific pieces by doing what was mentioned above

    Having visited many watch shops world wide, we were delighted to find that the professional and detailed explanation of the working of the watches by young Mr. Bandiera was matchless! Hopefully good after service will be extended too for the watch we bought!

    Bought a Ulysse Nardin from them. talked to both Marco and Gorgio Bandiera and they were very nice, patient and knowledgeable about their collection. i have a relatively small wrist so i had to get a shorter strap. It did not take too long (just five days) and I walked out the store with a UN Marine Torpilleur. They are vey professional and passionate. And they have very broad collection (surprised me when I know they have FPJourne). Perfect place to go :)

    Purchased my first Grand Seiko from Bandiera. Thoroughly impressed with the service I received. Victoria is kind and helpful and Giorgio is very knowledgeable and I enjoyed talking watches with him. Grand Seiko's reputation for quality and finishing is well deserved. Bandiera will be at the top of the list for my next GS.

    I've had a superb experience shopping at Bandiera Jewellers. In particular I'd like to extend a very warm thank you to both Vickie Cho and Richard Paraguya for their kind assistance in helping me to purchase the Seiko Snowflake. The watch arrived at my home very quickly and in perfect order with crystal clear instructions for the delivery. They've been super friendly and responsive throughout the process and continue to provide me with very helpful information. I highly recommend shopping and Bandiera Jewellers, notably Vickie and Richard's services in particular.

  • 1/5 Dao L. 5 months ago on Google β€’ 31 reviews
    Came in to size my omega speedmaster. Watch was returned with multiple stripped screws... They gaslight me into believing it was already like that or that my watch was the issue. After a lot of back and forth, they accepted to send it in to their watch maker in woodbridge to figure out a resolution. A week goes by and i get the call to come pick up the watch. They ended up polishing down the screws and said they will graciously not charge me for anything… The right thing to do here was to replace the screws and call it a day. No accountability and poor customer service from Giorgio. I believe all this stems from me looking young and inexperienced. You may experience better customer service if you look older and wealthy

  • 5/5 Timothy F. 4 years ago on Google
    The service was exceptional! The owner got involved and helped to make the sale move forward in the absence of the Sales Woman. The Sales Woman was very thorough, thoughtful and efficient. Making a large purchase over the internet without seeing a person could have been a very anxious experience. Not in this case, everything went smoothly.

    Brought my Zenith watch here for service (purchased internationally, not here). Very pleasant experience, quick service, attentive, and accommodating especially given that I did not initially purchase the watch at this retailer. Would recommend
