Amazon - New Luxury watch section

[BluePurpleRed]

Interesting... seems like the popularity of nice watches is really bucking the trend in 'these times of austerity and financial doom and gllom'!

Amazon Luxury Watches Section

Its good to see though! Santa got me a nice Tissot Visodate which I was not expecting so I am happy!

Do you think this represents a trend? I am not very much into the fashion watches they had on there mostly before...

[onlynik]

That's awesome.

I'll be broke before the end of the year.

[Zaxxon]

There are some very nice watches there, but I would not be parting with that kind of money without seeing the watch first.

Bargain!

[onlynik]

Hmm, I'm slightly suspicious of the company selling all the watches.

Only 1 star feedback and all the watches seem to take 6 -10 days.

Looks dodgy to me too - look at their seller information. Appreciate it's not written by someone whose first language is English, but it doesn't inspire much confidence. But, Amazon are normally pretty hot on that sort of stuff.

I can't see me using it, I'd far rather buy from ADs in the US for anything over a grand, but it's nice for window shopping.

I'll bet a few manufacturers (thinking Rolex here) will be getting their products removed from there. The Rolexs all must be grey market and they are at considerable mark-up over a UK AD.

Was thinking the ADs wouldn't be that happy about it.

Anyone know about Davosa brand? Seems to be dominating the links...

Chronographs

All I can see is them but I don't know if that is down to my own cookies or whatnot...

[blueg33]

I am not sure I would buy a £223,698 IWC through Amazon! Nice watch though.

told by my authorised Rolex dealer that they are not allowed to sell new or used Rolex online

[LukeBird]

Correct, authorised dealers aren't I, but grey dealers can do what they want. It doesn't mean that Rolex won't try and stop them though... It's hilarious that they're asking for a big mark-up on readily available watches though.

Just think of the nectar points though!

[BluePurpleRed]

Hmmm £323k for a watch with weird figures and a bear on it! :P

Ulysse Nardin

Hmmph! It isn't even available for Amazon Prime! :P I'd want free next day delivery from Amazon if I was buying a watch worth more then the average UK house! Ha ha.

I think I would want to be flown out to pick it up from the factory in a nice car etc and meet the people who made it if I was buying this!

[al1991]

You'd have to be mad to buy from there.

No room for negotiation, looks dodgy and who waits for their spanking new £300K watch to drop through the letterbox? <Cringe>

Still, good for a browse.

The first one looks pretty ordinary to be frank, and I'm sure they just make up a silly number when setting the RRP.

The second one looks like something you'd win in a 'grab' machine in an arcade. It's horrendously ugly.

[Ari]

RRP: £4,450.00
