Internet watch shopping safe?

[Merc fan]

Evening all. Has anyone bought an expensive watch online and, if so, can you tell me the names of reputable online sellers of Rolex?

What model?

Dominic H on here might be able to source you one! http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/profile.asp?mem...

There are many reputable sites out there so I don't think you should necessarily worry about ordering a watch online. A quick forum search of any of the names you were wondering about should distinguish the Heroes from the Villains. Many reputable watch retailers now have online presences to compliment their stores. Jura Watches in Mayfair is a classic example www.jurawatches.com

Have bought a TAG on-line but not Rolex. Suppose if it's a Official Dealer it's OK. You would be covered/protected by certain (if not all) at distance selling regulations?

I've used both Dominic at Hackett Watches and Neil at Chronomaster and would happily (in fact prefer) to use them again.

Have used Watches.co.uk Blowers and The old watch shop(southport) all were as advertised and no problems
good luck john

I got my explorer from eurowatches.com, theyve a good selection but as they are Swiss based the xchange rates are a disadvantage now I guess. It was the only place that had one at the time and saved a long wait with the UK ADs.
