- ADAndrew Duncan2 days ago5.0Had a wonderful buying experience with IJL. Their pricing was very competitive. Photos on their website very clearly depicted the used item I was purchasing, including any flaws, and the item I received was exactly as depicted. Free overnight shipping across the country was another pleasant surprise. I look forward to being a return customer seeing as they carry all the brands I enjoy.
- NNnaveen nair5 days ago5.0Outstanding experience with IJL Winnipeg! I made two watch purchases over the past few months, and both were absolutely seamless. Jeff’s knowledge, professionalism, and genuine passion for watches made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. He guided me in selecting an Omega Seamaster for my dad and ensured it was shipped with the perfect fit. My second Omega purchase was just as smooth, and it fits perfectly while receiving plenty of compliments so far. The level of service, attention to detail, and education provided truly set IJL apart. I can’t recommend Jeff and IJL Winnipeg highly enough — I’m looking forward to my next purchase!
- EGEd GriffithJan 2, 20265.0I had not purchased a quality timepiece for more than 10 years and wanted to hear opinions from someone who was an expert. When starting to shop at IJL , Rebecca was polite and very knowledgeable on all the details She provided plenty of information on the two brands I had narrowed it down too. I felt very comfortable making the decisions and it was an enjoyable, stress free experience. Thank you for the assistance. Ed
- DBDavid BahamonJan 1, 20265.0Well, Skylar the person who I was talking by phone understand what I was looking for and was ready to explain me and told me if IJL has the product, and gratefully my TAG Heuer watch was putted on hold for me, so I am really happy and satisfied with my first experience with IJL . My wife was really impressed with the location and the king of jewelry and watches IJL has. Thank you.
- DDDaniel DrescherDec 29, 20255.0Do you know those stores where you go and you think to yourself "wow, so great service and friendly staff DO still exist!"? This is one of those stores! Bought my first automatic watch and couldn't be happier with my purchase experience. Jeff went above and beyond in explaining to me how this kind of watch works and what I have to be aware of. You could really tell that this is his passion. What's also worth mentioning: The manufacturer's warranty is 2 years and IJL extends it to 5 years. Thank you so much! Wishing you all a happy year 2026!
