Bought my Omega PO GMT from them this year. Saved a bunch of cash and the watch arrived quickly, well packaged and correctly sized. The only pain was the 2.5% credit card surcharge.

About a week after arrival one of the bracelet link screws dropped out which could have been nasty if the bar had come out with it. The screw was one of the ones which had been undone by them when adjusting. If you do get a bracelet adjusted double check the screws just in case. I suspect this is probably good practice whoever adjusts a watch but I didn't and it shocked me how close I was to dropping it on concrete after a week, particularly as this was my first expensive watch.

I'd buy from them again if they had what I wanted at a good price.

Never purchased from them myself however they have a very good reputation and are often recommended - buy from them with confidence.

Reliable and reputable, they have a proper shop ooop north somewhere, so they're not some fly by night outfit...

I bought my Hydroconquest from them some years ago and it was a pleasant, problem free transaction.

buy with confidence. bought a pelagos, and more recently a BLNR from them. no issues.

They also do part ex if your interested and have a shop in blackburn. However its always closed, as they get some much work from the website they dont bother keeping it open. You can however visit and pickup your watch personally etc etc.
