They seem fantastic value, even after factoring in any VAT costs. The models also seem to differ from the Longines offered here at Goldsmiths/Ernest Jones' etc. Anyone tried them?

Smacks of a scam site / punter of fake wares to me, albeit a well done one.
- No company contact info, not even on the 'Contact Us' page (this is mandatory these days), unless they're not UK based, which they evidently aren't.
- The Paypal, McAfee, Verisign Secured etc links at the footer should actually be links, not jpeg pictures if they are the real deal.
- Poor quality English throughout which looks suspiciously like it was written by someone whose first language is something else.
- They advertise Rolex and Omega on the same site, which just so happen to be some of the most ripped off watches ever.
- They ship from China, well Hong Kong - so they're using the name Longines UK, and the Longines branding, yet they're not Longines, nor UK based... given china is where most of this fake tat originates...
- Their shipping and returns policies are comically bad copypasta, the latter conveniently ignoring your rights as a UK buyer (well, the rights you'd have if they were engrish speaking knock off agents that probably solely exist to get your CC info).
- Watches differ from UK models, or any other models because they're highly likely to be fake, or non-existent.

It does seem very odd now. co.uk domain, prices in Dollars and shipping from the East....
The UK is the only country who allows foreign entities to register .co.uk domains. Who would have thunk it. Next we'll be giving free mansions to unemployed foreigners with 5 kids.
