Anyone ever used this company before - http://genuinetimepieces.com/

I’ve been considering a Breitling for a while now, and just stumbled across this site.

They’re based in Germany, but I can’t work out why they are soo cheap. As an example - http://genuinetimepieces.com/cgi-bin/shop.pl?actio... – this is seriously below list price - and again http://genuinetimepieces.com/cgi-bin/shop.pl?actio...

They state they are genuine items, but why so cheap? – Anyone else used/heard of them before…?

Seems very odd that a watch shop in Leipzig would operate from a domain name registered in April 2007 to a chap in Sunnyvale California, and be full of testimonials only from American customers.

Not a chance.

ANY web site that has factory pictures of watches on, is a fraud

they will have all their watches showing the time as 09.50 as this is the time they put on ALL promotional pictures from company websites

I doubt 09:50 is a paticularly good setting to display a chronograph, don't most web sites and catalogs(07 Breitling, panerai and IWC) show 10 past 10?
