What People Are Saying
“I had wanted to own a neo-vintage Rolex for many years, and for my 50th birthday my wife decided she wanted to help make that happen. Through friends who own vintage Rolexes, we were introduced to Angela and Angel City Time and were told that she was one of the most trusted and reputable people in the business.
As first-time buyers, we were admittedly nervous about entering the vintage watch world. We didn’t know how to spot fakes, evaluate condition, understand pricing, or avoid making an expensive mistake. Angela could not have been a better person to guide us through the process.
She spent a tremendous amount of time educating us about the watches, the market, and what to look for. Her expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail were evident from the very beginning. At no point did we feel pressured. Instead, we felt informed, supported, and confident that we were making the right decision.
Every aspect of the transaction was handled thoughtfully and professionally, and it was clear that Angela genuinely cares about helping her clients find the right watch, not simply making a sale.
I could not be happier with my Rolex or with the experience of working with Angela and Angel City Time. If you’re considering a neo-vintage or vintage Rolex, or simply want to learn more about what makes these watches so special, I cannot recommend Angela highly enough. She is an exceptional resource, a true professional, and someone you can trust completely.”

“Amazing experience with Angel City Time. Purchased online from the other side of the country, and the process was as seamless as could be. Ended up with an incredible piece at a great price, with white glove service start to finish. Hope to be a repeat customer soon!”

“I have had several excellent experiences working with Angela and the team at Angel City Time. I purchased a 1991 Sea Dweller with all original paperwork - the watch was the nicest condition on the market. The communication and knowledge that Angel City Time displayed throughout the process as top notch as well.
I also purchased a 1979 Rolex Datejust with a unique dial, this watch also came with all of it's warranty paperwork. Not something you come across every day! Highly recommend contacting Angela for any watch related requests.”

“Had the pleasure of purchasing an 89 Datejust from Angela at Angel City Time - cant recommend highly enough.
Watch was exactly as described, probably even better. Superior customer service, fast shipping, updates throughout the process. Even the packaging and custom polish cloth were a nice touch.
10/10 - would 100% do business again.”

“If I could give ten stars I would. I was looking for a needle in a haystack that wouldn’t break the budget and Angel City Time delivered. Super easy to work with and very accommodating in delivering the only watch I wanted. I have zero reservations about referring anyone and if/when I am back in the market for a rare time piece, this is the only call I’ll make.”

“It'd probably be easier to list all the negative qualities about Angela because she is nothing short of amazing.
The first time I spoke with Angela, I bought a ref. 16570 Polar. Because I was buying the watch during peak COVID in late 2020, Angela was kind of limited with how she could do the transaction. Nevertheless, she worked with me to accept payments in installments over the course of a few days to overcome the daily amount limit. She then agreed to meet after close of business on a weekend to hand deliver the watch because I couldn't get away from work during the week. Then at purchase, she basically explained the differences between early and late 16570 models, the T-Swiss/Swiss Made/Swiss dials, 3135 and 3136 caliber and years, what year went to solid end links, etc.
For my second watch, I texted Angela on a whim at some absurd hour, like 8:00 p.m. on a Saturday, and randomly asked if she could find me a ref. 114270 Explorer. Out of the blue I asked if she could get it for me by my birthday which was coming up in a few days. When I texted, I was super specific with which version 114270 I wanted so I figured it would take some time to source. Wrong. WRONG. Angela not only found it, she had it shipped here overnight (by space shuttle? teleporter? I don't know), and then traversed half of LA county to deliver it to me on my birthday.
Her love for her company and her knowledge of watches are second to none. She genuinely cares about her craft, about the watches she sells, the quality of service, she's incredibly professional, dedicated, and will stand by her product 100%. I have referred her to numerous people, and every single person came back with glowing reviews.
Finally, and I swear this is true, Angela was so cool when I was buying my Polar, I basically just kept texting her about watches and.. I guess just kind of forced myself into being her friend. We still text to this day, and I still buy watches from her. I'm super proud for her, happy for her family, and am excited to see where she ends up.
Note: she doesn't offer friends and family discounts D:<”

“I just purchased a Rolex Explorer 114270 from Angela at Angel City Time and the transaction was an amazing experience. Angela is extremely responsive, understanding, and transparent. I sent questions about the watch's condition outside of normal business hours on a weekend and Angela answered them promptly. Shipping was lightning fast and professional. Upon receiving my timepiece, the condition was even better than I expected. I am so happy I went with Angel City Time for my first luxury watch and I plan to do business with Angela in the future!”

“Found Angela's company on Instagram via another watch account I follow and glad I did. Found a beautiful excellent conditioned 2019 Submariner that I had my eye on but unfortunately someone had beat me to it but lucky for me she had an another excellent Sub, this time a 1999 14060. The watch was just as beautiful as the photos and description had made it out to. Really happy with the purchase and will be referring friends and family to her business for any vintage and potential new watch buys!”

“I have now bought two fine watches from Angela at Angel City Time and both experiences were superlative. Most importantly to me, she is totally honest. Further, she is highly conscientious about service to her clientele. She provided many photos of her pieces, and provided full disclosure (without request) of any flaws, which were few. She understood my caution with an expensive transaction, and walked me through it patiently and thoroughly. Last but not least, she has exquisite taste in watches. I fully recommend this dealer without reservation.”
