Buying a TAG on line

[Petrolhead]

I have the fancy for a TAG watch. Its £925 at the Goldsmith (Sure its just gone up by £100 since last week [:!]) here.

However I have found the same watch here which is £230 cheaper. I can also get it in the USA inc tax and VAT for £625 here

Just wondering if you guys have any experience getting watches on line

Tag price rise is Sept I understand, so should not cost more just yet- but be quick if you want to avoid. Often a discrepancy between Goldsmith's web & shop prices, but they won't discount much below a grand anyway.

Find DomH on here who has much good form on finding Tag's for people at decent discounts. Far better than the web.

Don't forget the customs duty which I think is 15% and 20% VAT on top, I doubt that will get through customs without getting pulled.

[Petrolhead]

There is no Customs Duty to pay as any duty £7 is waved. The actual duty deing 70p

So all I have to pay is VAT

they are kean or imports from usa . they allways will charge the vat at uk customs . unless you are very lucky . unless the sellers sends it as a gift . but then if it goes walkies in the post you willn,t get your money back .

Me.

Pretty sure a search would bring up a few. Johno is another user who was happy with Dom's services.

Dom owns this - http://www.hackettwatches.com/

I've bought a TAG Heuer Link Calibre S and an Omega Planet Ocean through Dom H ... He is a top bloke and a pleasure to deal with. There are many members on here who have bought pieces through him, ranging from £300 to £30K+!

Dom's a great guy and a pleasure to do business with. Utterly trustworthy and I was buying another watch in the UK he'd be the first to know.

DomH is a great guy, very helpfull! Sorted my girlfriend out with a Omega PO as a wedding present for me and she was well pleased with the help he gave her

Bought my SD from Dom last year. Another happy customer here.

[Jgtv]

Some lovely looking watches on DomH's Site.

I will be looking for something for the misses later in the year, not quite in the same price bracket as most of the stuff on his site (up to about £500-600) anyone had any experiance with him for items of that value?

I bought the same watch but red face a little over a year ago from Dom and got stainless and rubber straps. I love it

[BrabusMog]

Yep, Dom just sorted my Dad out with an awesome deal on a brand new Tag Grand Carerra Calibre 17, faultless service according to the old man and he's a fussy one at the best of times!

I've bought a couple of J-LCs from Dom, and would happily buy from him again.

[Markp13]

At a mid point with Dominic just now on a deal for something shiny. Yet to meet him but seems very helpful and a well informed fella so far.

I contacted him off the back of recommendations on here.

Another big thumbs up for DOM from me
