pretty much settled on an Omega Seamaster Auto not sure about the chrono, but have seen this http://genuinetimepieces.com/cgi-bin/shop.pl?actio... anyone know anything about these, they are so much cheaper than everywhere else that I emailed them and asked if there was a catch, they replied saying all were brand new and genuine. Anybody used them?

I've never heard of them, but those are amazing prices.

I have a bit of feeling of "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is" so I'd certainly want to do a bit more research, but they do at least advertise a real street address, though not a telephone number.

Obviously see post above.

Don't believe you'll get a kosher, brand new one of those for that price.

I have one, purchased in HK from an authorised dealer. Worked out around the 1100GBP mark (3yrs ago) IIRC.

Great watches, amazing details, but pretty hefty. You really feel it on your wrist.

Believe they used to do a Ti version that was much lighter.

Guys, it's a scam. The prices are less than UK cost. Have a look at this link to a previous discussion...
