Anyone used these people? Having a nightmare finding a watch I want and these are the only people saying they can find one.

In my experience, if you enquire and they have it in stock they will hound you constantly.

If they don't have it in stock, numerous calls will get you nowhere.

If Dominic H can help, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

not really in Dominic's league Podie, just something I had seen and wanted to add to my collection. Frustrating that everywhere seems to have sold out.

Yeah - I've used them.

Was looking for an Omega Seamaster James Bond Limited Edition which I got from them and also ended up buying a brand new Speedmaster Pro as a "spur of the moment" purchase at the same time. (The Speedmaster is now for sale as I cannot live without a date on a watch - an expensive way to find this out).

Good service, very communicative and both watches were delivered to my parents house the next day, well packaged and as described. I would use them again.
My only grumble is they wouldn't ship overseas (I live in the Netherlands) but other than that - very good.

Cheers. They are the only people who say they can find what I'm looking for, fingers crossed they deliver.

Great guy and easy to deal with.

Used them twice, been fine both times. Speak to them rather than getting a quote off the net though, it will be cheaper. Also, sometimes they will "give the impression" that they have a watch in stock, but will really be ordering it, and the time to delivery may be longer than you expect.

Cheers,

FT.

Bought my Coaxial Seamaster and GMT II off them and they were ok, I nearly bought a sub off them in April, agreed the deal by phone and they wanted to charge £80 for using a debit card so bought from Blowers instead, at the same time my mum bought me a Rapport watch box from there that was clearly a 2nd when inspected, they refused to offer a refund and told us we had to speak to Rapport to get sorted, Rapport were very helpful and it took a month of emails/calls and threats of legal action, we eventually got a refund but I suspect only because of Rapport's intervention, their total lack of aftersales service is shockinhg so beware

Don't mail them either.

Two years later and despite unsubscribing I still get constant spam...

Yes they are but none of them actually have it in stock. Twice now I have actually paid for one and ended up having my money refunded because they can't supply one. And watchfinder have been trying all week but tonight called and said they couldn't source it.

YHM. Given up on it now really, it's a discontinued model so unless one is sitting in a jewellers window I'm fooked.
