Quartz Watches Inc - Does Anyone Know Them?

[Little Nicky]

I've been doing a bit of research on Tag Heuer watches recently as I really like their Carrera Calibre 16 Day Date Chrono and Monaco Chrono watches and the cheapest I can find for new 'authentic' watches (not taking into account import tax) is from a company called Quartz Watches Inc who are based in California USA.

Here is a link to their website: http://www.quartzwatchesinc.com/servlet/StoreFront

Does anyone know anything about this company? Have you bought anything from them or have any other experiences good or bad?

Basically I guess I'm looking at spending upwards of £2k - £3k online and am hoping that I'm not making a huge mistake - hence my query...

Thanks in advance to all you experts.

Regards

Nick

No idea but I'd say firstly watch out for VAT/Duty if buying from the States, 20% of £3k is £600 and as it'll be insured it'll also have the full value declared and will be by FEDEX (or UPS in this case) whose packages nearly always get frisked by HMRC.

Secondly I always check out address' with streetview - here's this one -


(You may want to check around the back for signs?)

There's probably a few ways to tell how long they've been in business, any bad reports etc with a bit of google-fu as well.

Otherwise no personal experience with them in particular.
