Fairly new to the watch world. Have been browsing looking for a Longines Zulu, nothing difficult, newish or brand new. Struggling to find a catch all website for sales.
Tried Chrono24, Watchfinder, Watches of Mayfair, Chisholm Hunter, Hackett and Subdial.

Watch Philosophy shows two although seemingly none of their offerings are actual stock.
WoM show one but can't see if this is actually in stock
Chishom have one and confirmed in stock, in Dundee.
AD Covent Garden have one confirmed in stock.

Is there a catch all website which shows actual in stock watches. I don't mind travelling but want to make sure I can test a range as I haven't had opportunity to actually try sizes.

Appreciate distance sale returns but id like to be able to try 39 and 42 before purchase.

Thanks.

Thanks chaps.

Had a whizz through all the sites again last night and for whatever reason simply can't find much stock of what I want. The Goldsmiths is the right watch but on NATO not leather.

Went back to Chisholm at Dundee and did a Sunday afternoon deal, all by email and purchased today.
The money was bound for my pension come April but decided life's short, and got what I think is a reasonable deal on a new watch. £100 more than the Goldsmiths deal but new and on leather.

Looking forward to it arriving. No more now for a few years. will be saving for something special for my 50th.
