I received my watch yesterday via UPS. I'm chuffed with it, was a first year in business anniversary gift to myself. Lol The strap that it came on was great but I'd already decided on a shark mesh for it which I put onto it straight away. Once i figure out how to post an image, I will : ) very nice , especially with mesh bracelet it became very smart-casual looking timepiece. Thanks, appreciate it. Yeh the mesh does look really good on it, it's an option that ribordy should consider offering imo.

Hello to all users! Just want to add to the topic. I've received watch last week, by UPS. Ordered as a present to my hubby (hence masked label on dial). He was over the moon with it, made him (and myself) very happy! P.S. only might add it took about 40 days, not 30 as their guidelines, but to be fair, they always said "delivery takes around 30 days" which was fine by us. Well done! (I just wish my wife would be that thoughtful ) Wow! I did not expect so much attention! Thank you VERY MUCH for the compliments! My husband very happy with the watch and I'm happy that he is happy xOxO

Merry Christmas and Happy new year to everyone! Just got a bit of time to write a few words about my ribordy watch. I've received it as Christmas present, but way before Christmas, at the beginning of December, took few pics straighaway, but never got around to write a review as I was on tour with my band. Anyway, here it is. In two words I LOVE the watch. Nice deep blue color dial, pics just don't do it justice. It shines in the sun light, absolutely lovely. Strap is alligator print, also dark deep blue, nice fit. Good weight, not cheapy-light at all, on a have-ish side, feels good on the wrist. So far I have not had any problems with it, good timekeeping, as said above, I LOVE it, thanks to my fiancee for thoughtful gift. Gotta be getting one for her as well, I must ) Thanks, Jon.

I would like to update my review regarding my experience with Ribordy watches. First of all I would like to say that Julie (the lady that has dealt with all of my emails) has been extremely prompt and helpful. I cannot fault her at all.
I had some issues with my watch not keeping time and the date kept sticking. No big deal, these things happen. I contacted Julie to let her know and she said she would speak to the technical team.....this is where it went downhill a bit. They were reluctant to believe that the watch was at fault and suggested maybe that I was making an error when setting the date and time. (I've collected watches for years.) To be honest, this did put some doubt in my mind, I started second guessing myself so I set the watch again and it ran well for maybe two more weeks until it lost time and the date again. So I contacted Julie who was very helpful and told me to send it back. When they received the watch they were still insistent that they could find no fault after a few hours testing (bare in mind the watch had ran flawlessly for a couple of weeks before jamming up again for me) but changed the movement regardless. Fair enough I thought, I'm not gonna kick up a stink over it as Julie has been really helpful and they have fitted a new movement.
New watch movement is running perfectly now. A few months later I decided to order a ribordy bracelet to go on my watch as I opted for a carbon strap with my initial order, it was all plain sailing making the order and I received my bracelet in a week or so. BUT, it didn't fit the watch. I contacted ribordy about this and was asked to send a video showing that the bracelet didn't fit. Ribordy then said it was their error as they'd sent me a different model bracelet and decided that the best way around it was to send me a new watch case that will fit my new ribordy bracelet that I must now take to my local watchmaker to swap over!
I personally am not impressed by this and I'm not even sure what the warranty implications are if I have had the watch case swapped over. Considering I have spent £800 with ribordy I did expect slightly better service than this if I'm being honest. So just a heads up (if you are thinking of buying a ribordy watch) that whilst the watches really are fantastic, well made and the initial customer service is brilliant you may have a slightly more tedious experience if there are any issues with your watch. Or if you decide to order a new bracelet for your watch further down the line. I was actually thinking about ordering a watch for my fiancé but have decided not to now.
Just an honest review update as I think it's only right.
Mike

.... I contacted ribordy about this and was asked to send a video showing that the bracelet didn't fit. Ribordy then said it was their error as they'd sent me a different model bracelet and decided that the best way around it was to send me a new watch case that will fit my new ribordy bracelet that I must now take to my local watchmaker to swap over... Interesting, so cases for the watch with bracelet and cases for the watch with strap are different? What's exactly the difference?
