Im after the above, I ordered it from 'Timeshop' back in November, they have now told me it will be delivered May! Have had a refund. Anyone used luxurywatchstore co uk? Or advise where I can get this watch or something VERY similar?


thanks

Morning.....I bought one of my SKX's from these guys....fast delivery ...you may have to pay customs depending on the method of delivery......reliable trustworthy company though.

Another vote for creationwatches and also wearing mine today [url]

I've ordered twice from them and had to pay customs both times which is a shame, but very quick delivery.

It never used to be like that, but my last watch was the same.
I've not tried the option of 'no box' yet to see if that gets through without any tax

Tried that - it didn't get through for me a couple of months back. They always used to come through tax-free in the past but the last two or three I've bought have all been clobbered. I wouldn't mind if the original fee didn't get doubled by a "handling charge".

I've bought three watches from Creation (two of which were skxs). The one with the box got caught by customs. The two without sailed through fine. Might be coincidence, but I'd recommend trying it. Unless you really want the box.

I've bought about 5, all in boxes. 1 of them got picked up by customs.
I'm on the continent though.

My one and only delivery from CW got taxed by the queen. 40GBP for MeAgain Murkle's dress fund, for her 'closet'.

I won't be using them again.

It's hardly CW's fault. And in my case(s) the final cost was still lower than UK prices.

Much better watches at that price point imo, yes i'm in the SKX are overrtated camp. Pay a little more and you can get hand winding and hacking (NH35) typically better accuracy, a sapphire crystal and a quality bracelet

That ODYSSEA MARK II looks nice, shame no date is out of stock as I may've been tempted.

I'm really chuffed with mine although I rarely wear it , it came with a nato and a rubber dive strap as well as an awesome box

Buy it from creation and choose the Royal Mail shipping option. The watch will come from a UK warehouse with no import tax to pay.

Came today - £45 in customs. Still cheaper than buying it elsewhere.
