Anyone bought from them?

Are they any good?

Just spent £70.00 on a Vulcan faced watch.

Now slightly wishing I hadn’t......

[OGR4M]

Have you got a link to their site/shop/wares?

All I can find that's anything close is a CafePress shop which sells only 3 watches all priced at $39.99...

Never even heard of the name, and neither has google, apparently.

Probably this: https://www.friendorfoewatches.co.uk/product-page/...

They're an interesting idea but I don't see how they can be anything but fragile. Wood has a tendency to split under pressure so I'd be a bit worried about wearing it as a knock could cause it to split at the pins.
I doubt it would stand up to daily use for long.

Watch looks like tat to be honest

I think it wooden last very long.

The more I look at it the more I am thinking what a waste of money.

Hopefully I can return it when (or if) I receive it.

Distance selling rules apply so shouldn't be an issue returning it.

If you fancy something Aviation inspired have you considered AVI-8?

I have a Harrier 2 which I will be selling on next month if you are interested

This is what I alluded to in the other thread. Evidently I was too subtle

I don’t do subtle.

You should have just said it looked st!!

Limited to 12 pieces worldwide does have some appeal, in honesty - but either way not my thing.

Got a couple of friend or foe t-shirts.

Wouldn’t buy one of their watches.

Text at the bottom of the watch listing expressly says they don’t accept returns. Unless it’s a warranty claim.

I thought it was obvious.

Didn’t see that. Oh well. The bay of fleas it will be.

[liner33]

I think they can state no returns but not sure that would trump the Distance Selling regs

So the watch arrived this morning.

All the way from Rugby.....

Very underwhelmed. It looks cheap & it feels cheap. The clasp is not very good, it doesn’t weigh a lot & I would have zero confidence it would be on my wrist at the end of the day.

So off to fleabay it goes.

[Doofus]

That's a shame. But we all make mistakes. At least yours was only £68.50.

That's the £70 you paid for it, less what you'll get back on eBay

[The Brummie]

Doofus - Thanks for that!!
