If you are getting the full manufacturers warranty, and not an 'inhouse' warranty then it's a good deal...

It states it is their own warranty rather than Tag's own warranty.

I've recently had a similar dilemma, but found if you shop around you can get an authorised dealer to give a good enough discount to make it worth buying from them.

Warranty? Buy a good watch and you shouldn't need one! I've had Breitlings and now an IWC for over 25 years and none needed the warranty nor were they ever serviced but still kept good time.

I appreciate what you are saying, but if spending that sort of money I tend to like the added assurance of a warranty.

Fine, but the warranty will run out anyway. I didn't spend £3,000 on a watch I expect to last only two years but for life, which is what they are built for. If you buy from an internet dealer (one of the ones well known here) you'll save a packet and have the peace of mind. Most guarantees only last 2 years which frankly I don't find a very good reflection on the manufacturers bearing in mind how they advertise their watches. I googled the watch in question and there are few on the market, like here:-

It's worth asking Neil at Chronomaster if he has or can get you one because he is always highly recommended here. You might even print off the page above and talk to you local dealer and see if will get near the price so that way you'll have your warranty too!

Worse case scenario must be if the movement needs replacing. How much would it cost to have the movement replaced?
