Looking at a watch from the above site. Seems legit but a website states no longer a trusted site and google maps has the building blurred out.

Just wondering if anyone has used them before as seem to have good prices.

I also presume now we’re out of the EU i would have to pay import tax from Germany?

Hi,

I used them a couple of years ago via Chrono24 buying a UN Freak X. Straightforward to deal with - English chap acting as agent for the sale. The watch was sourced from a Greek UN Dealer and the bubble registration card immediately checked-out with UN for the 5 year warranty.

They used to do Global Blue (walk-out EU VAT Refunds) so I imagine if you purchase this out of Germany, you should technically get a 19% reduction in stated price if brand new at the point of sale (none if the goods are deemed "used") as German VAT deduction, but then have to pay 20% importing into the UK. Im a little rusty on that to be honest.

In summary. Used them, they were good, hassle-free purchase but this should not a guide to their current status. look at Chrono24 as intermediary, Escrow, ask questions, pay by credit card etc....
