Many people on here have bought from them with positive feedback. I think their prices are toppy but quality and service are supposed to be superb.

i think so its the glycine incusore pvd, looks a nice watch should do for a daily wearer as getting a bit tired of the oris now so plan is to retire it for a year or so and come back to it when its fresh!

Also known as SWC.

Buy with confidence, they're good eggs. I've bought three watches from them. It's true that you can only tell whether a company is any good or not when things go wrong - everyone is good when things go well. My last watch purchase from them was my JLC - which turned out to be broken when I arrived to buy it. Their behaviour and approach to the problem was superb and very professional, fully to my satisfaction, and now the problem is gone and I have a lovely watch on my wrist.

I would, and probably will, buy from them again. Thumbs up from me thumbup

Ah

So you've got the Reverso back then?

One assumes that one is a suitably happy bunny?!

On the subject of watches.co.uk, this is really nice:



It looks like good value at around 2.6.

yes

Wish I was an avid gardener and bridge player, to be honest - it'd be a damn sight cheaper than my current interests.... hehe

Check the 'wrist check' thread. It's bloody gorgeous. None of the aggro with the service was SWC's fault - it was actually JLC's, sadly. But it's fixed and looks and feels effectively brand-new, and can only be considered a complete bargain biggrin

Bought from and sold to them twice.

Very happy, and you can visit them in person in Chiswick.


Dominic H on here is also a top man - contact him too,

With these guys, do you pay the ticket price; or is there room for negotiation?! On 2nd watches in particular....

I've bought 4 watches from them, all with a smallish reduction on list price. Tim and Dee are great to deal with and I wouldn't hesitate in buying from them again.

Just a quick update. I bought the watch and a new glycine incursore should be winging it's way to me! There was no reduction in price but then it was only £395 so can't argue too much. Now I just need to read up on caring for PBS coatings!!

Thanks for all that have helped hope you enjoyed your kitkat smile
