Anyone ordered from them, are the legit, they have the Tag I fancy at £770 (RRP £1050) so is that too good to be true or can I order with confidence ?

Yes, I did a bit of googling, I am quite lazy, but not that lazy and was happy with what I saw but was interested in whether any of the esteemed watch enthusiasts on here have had any dealings.Also, their prices seem very good so if they are all on the level perhaps worth other members taking a look for their next purchase.
That link explains the background but not what they are like to deal with and if anyone has had any issues.
You question was “are they legit?”, which that link and others would’ve satisfied your curiosity, and there are reviews (not looked at any) on Trustpilot, which was the 3rd hit or only a bit further down.
In other words, searching just on the name alone would’ve given you the answers you sought, which is all part of doing one’s due diligence.
But a TAG Heuer? Really?

Yes, have wanted one for years and am now in a position to purchase a modest example, rightly or wrongly, am not going to buy something I haven’t been planning to buy for ages as some can be a bit sniffy about them. I may get something else at some point but some always has an opinion positive or negative, but mine is the one that counts !In other words, searching just on the name alone would’ve given you the answers you sought, which is all part of doing one’s due diligence.

I get it Chronext are on the level, I did kind of work that out but was interested in if anyone off here had used them and what their experiences were like, am new, and a bit wary of ordering fairly expensive watches via the internet.
I got my Junghans Max Bill Chronoscope from them about 6 months ago, arrived brand new as described etc and delivered quickly and packaged well.
Would certainly use again, I'd PM you the discount code I got post purchase but it's expired now!

What's wrong with a Tag? At least it's rarer than a Rolex....

I went to a comprehensive, my middle name is Darren, I like Stella Artois and drive a BMW, I am probably nailed on the core market for low end Tag watches
I am 48 now and have worked hard to get a relatively well paying job, have no debt and feel in a position (after years of doing without due to having kids) where i can spend a grand or so on a nice (to me) watch, its a bucket list thing, and itch I have always wanted to scratch. Not everyone has four or five grand spare every few months to add a watch to the collection though I love to see them when they do.I am not really in the realms of Rolexes, though have gained a new appreciation for them as previously thought they were for car dealers, scrap merchants, chances and wideboys until recently.
I quite like the plainer Omega Seamasters, some very nice Seikos out there whether it be a Grand Seiko or the Sarb300 someone posted the other day, am looking in to the more esoteric brands and some of the really high end ones beggar belief and loads look utterly disgusting, but its is very interesting, I am hooked I think.
My collection will now include my Tag F1 Quartz, a 25 year old Accurist Chronograph thing (has a strap fixed with a piece of my brothers skateboard) and a £10 eBay fitbit knock off.
I know its not the best watch in the world, its a Quartz "Oh Noes" but as a non watch person that kind of works as it tells the time, doesnt lose 30 seconds a day and doesnt need servicing all the time, if ever. thats my understanding, correct me if I am wrong (probably)
A reasonable enquiry by the OP – certainly far from the most inane thread on here.
As for a quartz TAG Heuer, it’s a perfectly fine watch if that’s what the OP really wants.
Would it be what I’d personally spend the money on? No, but then I’m not the one who has to pay for it & look at it on my wrist daily.
Looking at his other thread, it’s clear he’s considered alternatives and taken opinions, as he should, but retained his conclusion that the TAG Heuer is something he’s wanted for years.
Many aspects of TAG Heuer/LMVH leave me cold, but then watch geeks are in the minority - most people just want a solid watch, with no hassle and from a notable brand name. A quartz TAG will do that job quite nicely for many years and he shouldn’t be belittled for it.

I aren't a fan of TAG Heuer quartz watches, but it is the watch that J4cko wanted, so all props to him for getting it.
I really dislike watch snobs.

I get the distinct impression there's a lot of panties in a bunch here... for the avoidance of any doubt whatsoever, the red card emoticon was very tongue-in-cheek.
Aye but to be fair, your first and second comments (barring the last line) came across as pretty snotty. Helpful, but with a twinge of belittlement. Very PH come to think of it. Nevermind - carry on.
