Did a quick seach but couldnt find anything solid on here, hence the new thread.

I am getting a couple of cheapy watches at the moment and am interested in a few on their website but looking at their shipping t's and c's it looks like I'd be waiting 3-6 weeks for delivery. Has anyone bought from them on here and can you confirm this is how long delivery took?

Cheers.

That would be me, I was a bit worried about buying from them as I couldnt find much info, but it was fine, took a week to arrive (they give you a tracking number which gives plenty of info) and I didnt get and customs charges.

Cheers, 60.

I will give them a bash, I can't believe their pricing so I'm interested to see one on the wrist.

A friend of mine has bought two square cased Taos over the last couple of months, don't know how long the delivery took but he's not the kind of person who'd order something knowing he'd have to wait three weeks or so! They seem to be pretty good value to me, good build and feel for the price.

They look OK.

Sell pretty easily second hand on TZ too so no worries re moving it on if needs be.

I'd personally go sterile dial from Getat if I was after a PAM homage again.

I'm not 100% on the looks myself, the two that I've tried on didn't quite hit the mark for reasons I can't explain. He's happy though and goes on about them more than I would do about my Sinn or Longines laugh

I bought one from eBay (before their website was open) and it was absolutely fine - took about a week to come from the far east, and slipped through customs like a greased pig.

Still an impressive piece of kit smile
