Hi there, need some advice
was checking out the Breitling Super Ocean Heritage 46, went to my local authorised dealer in Belgium, and guess : black ones sold out for this year

Would love to see a blue one next

But then I am also interested in spending just a little more on an IWC Chronograph Saint Exepury

These are all at local dealers, but when I check out the internet shops such as http://www.deliciouswatches.co.uk ,
a. they are a fair bit cheaper and
b. can supply quicker.

I am now wondering are these guys safe and reliable? Does anybody have some experience with these internet-companies and what if something s wrong with the watch, arranty issues etc

Thanks for the advice

Ronny

Didn't someone mention the other day that Delicious Watches are Blitz Watches re-incarnated after they went bust?

I guess some of the cheaper stuff I'd be prepared to buy on the net, like from Werners, but if dropping a couple of grand, I'd want to see the watch, feel it, try it on...etc so my money would be at the high street dealer.

I didn't know that.

I certainly wouldn't buy from an online store unless I knew at least a few people who had used it first. There is plenty of 'feedback' for most sellers in watch forums like timezone or tz-uk.com or watchuseek etc

Most U.K. online shops still have somewhere where you can go and see the watches first.
