Review: Craft & Tailored is a go to!

[B][
Craft & Tailored!!! /B]

Like the title says, this is a review on Craft & Tailored located in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles.

First off I would like to thank both Cameron and Brandon for the immaculate work they provide with their own products as well as their work etiquette, which exceeds all of anyone’s expectations.

Craft & Tailored is your one stop shop in finding anything vintage or should I say timeless. They specialize in sourcing only the best of the best vintage watches, as well as leather jackets, boots and pretty much anything you could think of vintage.

Cameron listens carefully to what it is that you are looking for and gives it his all to find it without cutting corners. He can work very well in your budget and still find you a great piece.

They have sourced many vintage Rolex’s as well as Omegas for me and each time has been amazing. He frequently checked in and let me know the status of each watch find and even hand delivered it to me once it was found.

I totally vouch for these guys and the amazing work they put into their company, they make watch buying as well as finding anything vintage such a hassle free experience and make you feel comfortable to ask any questions.

Hell yeah! I been a TRF member for sometime and haven't seen them mentioned on here and they should be! Good guys at C&T. I got my 69 Speedy from them pictured below. Along with a killer suede and then got one of their leather straps. Beautiful straps!

Just picked up my first Rolex '72 Oysterdate from Cameron of Craft and Tailored last week. Loving it... Watch came freshly serviced. I did switch the stock oyster bracelet out for a leather band. I just prefer the look... ;)

Same experience here.
Cameron has been easy to deal with, has answered in a timely manner to all requests, and has given advice without being pushy. I am so far very happy with my 16014 that arrived this morning over the Atlantic.

Picked up this 64 Tropical Air King from Cam a couple weeks ago. Having a hard time keeping it off my wrist. Will definitely be buying again once he finds me my birth year 5513.

Cant say enough good things about Craft & Tailored

Met with Cameron a couple weeks ago to check out a vintage Datejust. I have to say it was the best watch buying experience I have ever had. Cameron was low pressure, extremely knowledgeably and helpful. I need to have a coulpe links added to the bracelet and he took care of that in record time. I have since picked up a couple of his exquisite straps for several of my other timepieces. I have my eye on another watch on his site currently and look forward to being a loyal and longtime customer of Craft & Tailored!

Icon14 Great experience buying my first Sub

Cameron is very knowledgeable and easy to work with! He kindly accommodated my busy schedule for two face-to-face meetings in LA, taking the time ensure I was able to find the exact piece I was looking for. I won't hestitate to work with him again!

Hi everyone, I'm new to vintage Rolex (and here) and was shopping around online for a Datejust when I came across Cam and Craft & Tailored. He had the exact watch I was looking for, a grey dial 1603, so I inquired about it.

After a couple e-mails back and forth, I eventually spoke to Cam on the phone and he was super friendly, as well as really knowledgeable about the watch in question. He even went so far as to take my call and BS with me while on the way to dinner with a client.

Anyways, long story short, I made payment that night and Cam shipped it the following morning. I received this beauty the next day -

Icon14 Craft & Tailored -- Cameron and Tyler ROCK!!!

My "new" 1989 Rolex 5513 "Pumpkin" arrived today and exceeds my expectations. Cameron and Tyler were very responsive on all aspects of the purchase, aswering all of my questions to ensure that I was 100% comfortable with everything about the watch, the payment, the shipping. Cameron shares that special passion for time that most of us on the board share, and the watches that he hosts for sale reflect that passion. There should absolutely be no worries if you purchase from Cameron and his Team, they are truly a class operation!

Just rec'd this bad boy from Cameron today. LNIB 116500LN Daytona ceramic ... still covered in much of its protective film. This was a very pleasing transaction with Cameron as he was very responsive and always in touch throughout the entire transaction. The piece is truly "superlative" and with many thanks to C&T I'll, hopefully :) be wearing it in good health for many years to come.

I'm not big on posting on forums and am admittedly more of a"lurker" who reads regularly absorbing as much as I can. As such, this is my first post here after finally joining recently after years of visiting and reading a non-member. Anyways, I had been on the search for nearly 2 years for a mid-80s WG/gloss dial 5513. I have no affiliation with C&T other than my most recent experience which exceeded my expectations. In my experience I've dealt with some OK and some not so great dealers. Cam and Tyler and C&T were professional, readily available, transparent and efficient throughout the whole process of acquiring the 5513 I was searching for. I hope this post helps anyone else who, like me, was sifting through the plethora of online dealers and instagram posts looking for a specific watch hoping to find something great from equally great people. The watch arrived on Friday and it was better than I expected. As my new daily driver, I've enjoyed wearing it the last few days and have not second-guessed about any part of my experience with them or this watch. I've come to value unsolicited genuine reviews and forum posts from peers and figured I'd finally help contribute instead of just reading from the sidelines : )

I can add another positive review of Craft and Tailored. I purchased an amazing Tudor Submariner from Cam and it was so easy and pleasant. The watch made it across the country in a day and Cam personally gave me a call to work out details. The peice is exactly as described/photographed and I'm so excited to have it on my wrist.

Something is weird. A bunch of novice posters jumping in to praise a single store. Hmmm.
