Anyone heard of these people? I got a "spam" email from them today and their prices do look interesting from what I've seen.

I must be doing something wrong. Can't see any prices. I do note they don't accept visa though....

I had an email and their price for a IWC Spitfire chrono was the same in euros as it is in the UK in pounds - 3,200. Same with a few other watches in their email.

The site looks a bit iffy to me, says they fall under the jurisdiction of the Swiss authorities. Though no actual contact information provided. I'd tread very carefully. Maybe worth asking them for an address via email and then tracing the email returned to see where it comes from.
If they are based in Switzerland then tax will be due (I assume) when it comes into the Uk. If they are Swiss then why would they bill in Euros?

That company is run by a friend of mine, Astrid, who I worked with some time ago in Zurich. I have bought several pieces from her, at great prices and never had any issue although I can understand the points you have raised.

They ship from the EU so taxes are not applicable. All I can suggest is contacting her to put your mind at rest.
