Hi all,

Has anyone purchased a watch from Watches World? Are they good to deal with? Have you been burnt by them? They have a couple of watches I'm interested in at very good prices, just thought I'd check them out before going further.

Thanks,

Mark

I have never bought a watch from them, not because they were bad but because they advertise watches as in stock at way below rrp that they don't actually have! I was interested in a GS from them on Chrono24 about £600 under list but the response was well we can order one but no guarantee on delivery times, however we do have these....
Currently they have a Zenith Chronomaster sport in stock way under list and a JLC polaris at £4563, if i thought they could actually fulfill that order they'd hav emy money already.

Thanks for the reply, it sounds like I may give them a miss then if they can't say when the watch will turn up!

I've found from a different supplier a brand new and in stock Zenith el primero Felix Baumgartner that looks very nice, just hesitating over buying as I can't try it on to see how big the watch is. Seems like a good price as well after checking the web.

Any update on them? I'm happy to wait the 8 weeks to get the healthy discount. Has anyone used them?

Give it a go but i'll eat my hat if you actually get an advertised watch at the kind of discounts they are offering.

I haven't even tried them after the comments here and from other places. They seem to list things they don't have and then try to get you buy something else. Plus, they didn't even reply to an email and their phone number doesn't work, only a mobile number.

Hasn't been my experience so far. It would be good if someone had actually bought from them on here.

I tried, I (they) failed to deliver on the advertised product.
