Mystery drop regular!

I have been taking part in The Mystery Drops since August now and love the varied watches I have received. Finally grabbed myself one of the luxury pieces in the March drop with a vintage Omega De Ville. Will certainly be in the next drop, desperate for one of those Rolexes!

Hi mate,

Really appreciate you being involved since August, that kind of consistency means a lot and it’s class to hear you’ve enjoyed the variety along the way.

That Omega De Ville is a brilliant pull as well, proper timeless piece and a great one to finally land from the luxury side of the drop.

Thank you again for backing us each month and trusting the process, we’ll keep doing everything we can to make each drop better.

Hi mate,

Really appreciate you taking the time to write this, it means a lot.

Glad to hear everything landed well and that you’re happy with the condition and authenticity, that’s something we put a lot of time into behind the scenes with every single watch before it goes out.

And pulling top brands like Rolex is exactly what makes the drops exciting, so I’m glad you got to experience that side of it.

Also great to hear the customer service side came through properly as well, that’s just as important to us as the watches themselves.

Thank you again for the support and for trusting the process, we’ll keep working to make each drop better than the last.

Hi mate,

Really appreciate you being involved over the past few months, that kind of continued support genuinely means a lot.

That’s an unbelievable pull as well, the Cartier Tank is a proper iconic piece, so I’m glad it’s gone to someone who actually understands and appreciates it. That’s exactly what we want to see with these drops.

It’s good to hear you’ve experienced the full range as well, from the more affordable pieces through to something like this, that’s the whole concept of it, and when it lands like that it makes it worth it.

Thank you again for backing us and trusting the process each month. We’ll keep pushing to make every drop better.

See you in the next one.

STAY AWAY 🚨

STAY AWAY! 🚨 A complete and utter SCAM. You'll receive a watch that is picked up on the side of the street with water damage, replaced parts and barely functional. All this despite paying for the so called premium package. Watch is going straight in the bin.

Hey, I’m really sorry you feel like this, but I do need to address it.

We’re not a scam in any way. Every order is fulfilled, and all watches are checked before being sent out and come with a warranty for peace of mind. That said, issues can occasionally happen during shipping, which is outside of our control.

If there’s a problem with your watch, it absolutely shouldn’t just be going in the bin, just reach out to us and we’ll get it sorted for you properly.

We’re always here to help resolve any genuine issues.

Wish we had seen the reviews before we wasted our money. Paid £120 for a base metal, basic quartz. Like other people have said, not expecting a rolex but the watch is worth a few pounds. Do not enter the mystery drops.

Hi,

Sorry to hear you feel that way, we definitely don’t want anyone to come away disappointed.

Our Mystery Drops are designed to be a mix of both affordable and higher-end pieces, with all watches allocated at random. Not every watch will be a luxury item, but every piece is authentic, inspected, and falls within the structure shown in our showcase and product description.

We’re always working on improving the experience and making expectations as clear as possible, especially around the range of watches that can be received.

If you’d like, feel free to reach out to us directly and we’re more than happy to take a closer look at your order.

Appreciate the feedback regardless.

Mistery watch box …

Il sito pubblicizza le mistery watch box con la possibilità di trovare un orologio di lusso!dicono di essere limitate a 250 pezzi al mese tra le standard e le premium! Io ho ricevuto un orologio del valore di 10€ e questo ci può stare,ma il problema è che questa formula esiste da 10 mesi, quindi il mio ordine al massimo dovrebbe essere stato massimo il 2500, invece era vicino al 5000!mettono anche orologi di lusso,ma le probabilità di trovarlo non sono come quelle che pubblicizzano!

Hey, thanks for your message, but I do need to clarify a few things here.

The order number you’re referring to is your overall store order number, not specific to mystery watch boxes. We’ve also run raffles with individual ticket sales and sold regular watches outside of the mystery drops, so using that number to estimate how many boxes have been sold isn’t accurate.

Because of that, the assumption that your order “should have been around 2500” is completely incorrect.

We’ve always been transparent that there’s a chance of receiving higher-end pieces, but it’s never guaranteed, and that’s explained across our product pages, FAQs, and content.

Appreciate you sharing your thoughts regardless.

We are genuinely sorry to hear how disappointed you feel with your Premium category box.

We completely understand that when entering a higher tier category, expectations are higher as well. The Premium allocation is structured around a mix of brands within the advertised lineup, with value balanced across the entire drop. Some pieces will sit at the lower end of that tier, while others will significantly exceed the entry price. The allocation itself is fully random.

Before each drop goes live, we publish the full brand lineup on our website and in our showcase video on YouTube so participants can see exactly which brands are included in that category.

Regarding your specific watch, if you believe the model you received does not align with the advertised Premium brand list, please email us your order number and a photo of the piece. We will review it carefully to ensure it was allocated correctly and that there were no errors during packing.

We take concerns like this seriously and we are always willing to investigate individual cases properly.

Watch Harbor is great to add to your collection

I have purchased about 15 mystery watches and will keep getting more. The company is a very cool concept and have great customer service. Out of the 15, I have received a 1980s quartz Omega and a 1990s Tank Cartier, so the company does send out the Luxury pieces. The negative reviews all mostly state how they received a watch worth less than what they paid for which makes sense, otherwise how could the company afford to give out luxury pieces? It is very cool that even if you do not pull a luxury piece, you still get a watch. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this, reviews like this really mean a lot to us.

Firstly, 15 drops is serious commitment, and we genuinely appreciate the continued trust. Landing a 1980s Omega quartz and a 1990s Cartier Tank is incredible, both are timeless pieces and amazing additions to any collection.

You’ve also explained the concept exactly as it’s designed. The mystery format only works because the allocation is balanced across the entire drop. Some watches will sit below the entry price, some around it, and some well above it, that structure is what allows luxury pieces to be included while still making the drop viable. Every entry has the same random chance, and every participant receives a watch.

What we’re really building, though, is more than just the “pull.” It’s the anticipation, the community, the conversations, and the fact that even if you don’t land a top-tier piece, you still receive something tangible to add to your collection.

We truly appreciate you taking the time to explain the concept from a customer’s perspective, that kind of balanced feedback helps others understand how it works.

Enjoy those pieces in good health, and thank you again for being such a consistent part of the journey.

I got another mystery watch back in…

I got another mystery watch back in January as a Pre Order, and what a great experience it has been. My watch arrived in Feb, a lovely vintage luxury piece from Omega, the best watch I have in my collection by far!

I paid 109 gbp for my box, and it arrived very well packaged. I took part in the first drop in August and this project has come so far. Better watches, with warranty cards, better boxes, its still a luck of the draw, but that is the MAIN CONCEPT with the drop. The chance to pull a luxury piece, by the looks of it, all of the other reviews seem to think the only purpose of this is to give you a watch worth more then what you have paid, how would that be possible guys, be for real, do more research into what your buying. Also seems all the negative reviews is just from people wanting their money back since they didnt get a luxury watch, kind of scummy from the customers really

I have never seen Watch Harbor put any misinformation out, they are solid guys. They dont promise a watch more thenw atch you paid or a vintage piece every time (even tho lots of watches are vintage)

Block out the haters guys, keep smashing it

Thank you for this, it genuinely means a lot to read.

Firstly, congratulations on the vintage Omega piece. For £109 to land something that’s now your favourite in the collection is exactly the kind of moment the concept is built around.

It’s also great to hear you’ve seen the progression since the first drop in August. We have worked hard behind the scenes to improve presentation, introduce warranty cards, upgrade packaging and strengthen quality control while keeping the mystery format intact.

You explained the concept perfectly. It is luck of the draw. The structure has to be balanced across the entire drop in order for luxury pieces to exist within it. We have never promised that every watch will exceed the entry price or that every box will contain a vintage luxury piece. What we promise is a transparent brand lineup, a fixed allocation and a fair random process.

We also appreciate you recognising that we publicly show the brands before each drop and do not misrepresent what is included. That transparency is important to us.

Most importantly, thank you for the continued support since August. Seeing returning members enjoy the experience and understand the concept is what keeps us pushing to improve every month.

Enjoy that Omega in good health and we will see you in the next drop.

Hi,

We’re really sorry to read this, especially if something about your order felt unclear or uncomfortable. But there is nothing shady about our drops, we are very transparent about everything.

We take trust very seriously, so if anything seemed shady from your perspective we would genuinely like the opportunity to look into it properly. Our drops follow a fixed structure, the brands are shown publicly before launch, and allocations are random, but we understand that if communication at any stage feels off it can create doubt.

Please email us your order number and a brief outline of what felt wrong, and we will review everything step by step. If there has been any mistake or misunderstanding, we want to address it directly.

We are always open to constructive feedback and we stand by the integrity of how our process works, but we also want every customer to feel confident and informed.

Kind regards,

Cool concept, but better to stay away and spend money elsewhere.
Ordered a Special edition pre order drop, price 109£ before tax.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

We completely understand how receiving a lower end piece in a Special Edition drop can feel frustrating, especially when you had higher hopes going into it. The concept is built around a fully random allocation within the announced brand lineup, which means outcomes can vary significantly from box to box. Some participants receive higher value luxury pieces, while others will receive watches positioned at the lower end of the category. That balance is what allows the higher tier pieces to exist in the same drop.

Before each drop goes live, we publish the full brand lineup across our website and in a showcase video on YouTube so customers can see exactly which brands are included before deciding to enter.

That said, we never want someone to feel misled. If you would like us to review your specific allocation, please email us your order number and we will double check that everything matched the advertised structure for that drop.

We genuinely appreciate you giving the concept a try, even if this one did not land the way you hoped.

Nice idea on paper, but...

Watch mystery boxes is genuinely an interesting initiative, and I can see how it could work well under the right conditions. However, there are a few important points worth noting.

The concept of having watch enthusiasts scout the market for vintage and rare pieces is highly appealing. The idea of purchasing a watch, whether affordable or high-end, that carries history, is carefully restored, and given a second life is compelling.

That said, receiving a brand new Limit watch, one that could simply be purchased directly from their website for £20, undermines the entire premise of the initiative.

I understand and accept the possibility of receiving a watch that may be worth less than the cost of the service. What I cannot accept is the possibility of receiving a brand-new, inexpensive watch. That creates the impression that such items are included with minimal effort, simply to increase volume rather than to uphold the original concept.

Under these circumstances, I would not feel comfortable recommending participation.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to explain your perspective so clearly.

Before each drop goes live, we publicly show the full brand lineup included in that release on our website and in our showcase video on YouTube. The February lineup, including all participating brands, was available to view prior to purchase so customers could make an informed decision.

Limit was part of the advertised brand list for that category, so while it may not be vintage, it does align with what was shown before the drop went live. Our drops are structured around the disclosed brands within each tier rather than guaranteeing age, rarity, or resale value on every piece.

We completely understand your point about the appeal of restored, vintage, or historically interesting watches. A large portion of what we source fits that description, but the allocation is balanced across the full lineup. Some pieces will be vintage, some pre owned modern, and occasionally some will be newer production models from the announced brands. That mix is what allows higher value pieces to exist within the same category.

That said, we appreciate the feedback regarding expectations around “vintage” versus “new.” If that distinction needs to be communicated more clearly, that is something we can improve.

We never want anyone to feel misled, and we stand by showing the full brand lineup publicly before every drop so customers know exactly which brands are included.

Hi,

Thank you for the balanced feedback, we genuinely appreciate it.

We understand what you are saying regarding value. The structure of the drops is designed so that the overall allocation supports the inclusion of higher end and luxury pieces, which means individual outcomes can vary. Some watches will land below the entry price, some around it, and some significantly above it. That balance is what allows pieces from brands like Omega or Rolex to be included within the same category.

That said, we are constantly reviewing sourcing, condition, brand mix and overall allocation to improve perceived value and long term customer satisfaction. The project is still evolving and feedback like yours plays a part in shaping future drops.

We truly believe in the concept and we are committed to refining it month by month. Thank you for recognising the potential and for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Very disappointing

Received the February mystery box and I was very disappointed, I understand the concept of a mystery box but getting a watch that I can get for £16 wasn’t what I expected from a £60 (70€) box. Also wasn’t expecting a 15€ delivery fee + 25€ more for a tax in Spain. In total was 105€ (92£) for a 16£ watch. I wasn’t expecting a Rolex but this is extremely disappointing I will not be using again.

Hi Adrian,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and I’m genuinely sorry to hear how disappointed you felt with your February box.

We completely understand that while the concept is a mystery drop, there’s still an expectation that the piece feels fair relative to the entry price. Our drops are structured so that higher-value watches are balanced across the full allocation, which means some outcomes will sit at the lower end of the category. That randomness is what allows the larger wins to exist, but we never want someone to feel like the experience wasn’t worthwhile.

Regarding shipping and import charges to Spain: the delivery fee is shown at checkout, and unfortunately customs/VAT fees are set by your local authorities, not by us. We don’t add or control those charges, but we understand they can significantly increase the overall cost once the parcel arrives.

That said, we do take feedback like this seriously. If you’re open to it, please email us your order number so we can review your specific box and make sure everything was allocated correctly within the advertised structure.

We truly appreciate you giving us a try, and even if this one wasn’t the experience you hoped for, your feedback helps us improve.

One of the best Experiences ever as a Watch Enthousiast

First of all i want to thank Cameron and his team for their efforts while building such a unique community. He's super responsive despite such a huge comunity he's been running. I've been a part of this group since October 2025, sharing experiences, meeting with other watch enthousiasts and attending the Mystery Drop ever since.

During these drops there were times i received average watches like Casio, then there were times i received high end luxury watches like Rolex Datejust or Vintage Girard Perregaux. As it says in the name it's all about the Mystery. I never thought i'd get my first Rolex like this. And it's in perfect condition. Every watch i have received so far was very well maintained with a brand new strap or original strap refurbished.

Also i need to add, when i received an "average" watch he was so kind to offer me a vaucher code that covers a good amount of the next drop and when i couldn't use the vaucher during the drop due to system errors he offered me to refund the whole drop and send me the mystery box anyway.

Its more about the fun and the mystery that attracts you to the concept. Keep it chill, enjoy and share the excitement, socialize with other watch enthousiasts and appreciate people's efforts guys.

20euro watch at a 173euro price

I entered in the Special Edition 3 months -> 399 euro.
I received my watch today. I had to pay 40 euro extra as import taxes. I received my watch today: a 20 euro Qmax. So the balance 20 euro - 173 euro doesn't seem very correct.

We’re really sorry to hear how disappointed you feel after receiving your watch, especially after entering three Special Edition drops.

We do want to clarify a few important points. Omax was shown in the official pre drop YouTube video before that release went live. That video is shared across all of our social channels, linked directly on the product page, and remains publicly available so customers can review the full brand mix at any time before and after purchasing.

In addition, Omax is specifically listed within the product description as one of the more affordable brands that could be received in that drop. We always aim to be transparent about the range of brands included so customers can make an informed decision.

With the Special Edition category, there is always a spread of values in the mix. We have to include some more affordable pieces in order to make it possible to offer the higher value watches within the same drop. In that particular release, there were 17 watches valued anywhere from approximately £200 up to £3500. That structure is what allows the format to work.

Regarding import taxes, these are unfortunately determined by your country’s customs authorities and are outside of our control. We understand that additional fees can be frustrating, but they are not charges set or kept by us.

We do appreciate that mystery formats are not for everyone, especially when expectations are high. That said, we stand by the transparency of how each drop is presented and advertised.

We’re really sorry to hear that you feel this way after your first order.

We’d just like to clarify that we have never claimed that every single watch in every drop is vintage. While the majority of pieces we source are vintage, not all of them are. Before each drop goes live, we publish a full YouTube video showcasing the exact brands included in that release. In those videos, we have clearly shown models such as the Tissot PRX, Casio pieces and other modern watches alongside vintage options to demonstrate the full range of what could be received.

Casio has been shown as a possible option in our videos, and those videos are linked directly on our website and shared across our social platforms. They remain publicly available so customers can review the brand mix before purchasing.

In order to make the mystery format possible and include higher value watches within the same drop, there has to be a spread of values and styles included. That means some more affordable and modern pieces are part of the mix alongside vintage watches.

We understand that mystery purchases are not for everyone, especially if you were specifically hoping for a vintage-only piece.

Mystery Watch Drop Review

I ordered the Mystery Watch – Special Edition and was deeply disappointed with what arrived.
The watch I received is worth no more than €10, and even at that price it would be substandard — the dial and movement are loose inside the case. It turned out to be a basic Lorus Quartz: a mass-produced, contemporary watch with nothing special about it. The packaging was equally cheap and flimsy.
All of this for €130, plus import costs.
What frustrates me most is that this concept could have been genuinely exciting. If Watch Harbor had real knowledge of vintage watches, they could easily source interesting, authentic pieces for around €50 that would actually justify the mystery box experience. Instead, this feels like a cynical cash grab targeting enthusiasts who trust the brand.
Very disappointing. I hope others are warned before spending their money on this.

We’re genuinely sorry to read this and to hear how disappointed you were with your Special Edition order.

First of all, if the dial and movement are loose inside the case, that is not acceptable. Regardless of the value tier, the watch should arrive in proper working condition. Please contact us directly with photos or a short video and we will review this immediately and resolve it appropriately.

We also want to address a couple of important points. We do have real knowledge of vintage watches and a strong background in sourcing them. A large portion of what we source each month is vintage, and we take pride in curating a varied and interesting mix. However, we have never stated that every watch in every drop is vintage. Some drops include contemporary pieces alongside vintage models, and this is clearly shown before each release.

Before every drop goes live, we publish a full YouTube video showcasing all brands included. That video is linked on the product page, shared across our social channels and remains publicly available. We do this specifically so customers can see the full range of brands and make an informed decision.

It is simply not possible to make every watch worth 50 euro or more and at the same time offer 25 luxury watches within the same drop. The structure relies on a spread of values. Some watches will exceed the entry price significantly, while others will fall below it. That balance is what makes the opportunity for higher value pieces possible, and this is clearly explained in our videos.

We understand that the mystery format is not for everyone, and we are sorry this experience did not meet your expectations.
