Does anyone have any experience of this Outlet store? I am going there this weekend for a wander around as it is only down the road from me and I am in the market for a watch. Do they tend to sell at discounted prices?

Thanks.

Yes, tends to be older stock last time I was in. Get there early or don't bother. Or go in an evening.

phone up and ask, probably not worth the trip.

I bought a Tag F1 Chronograph there what must be about 15yrs ago.

It was the 'old' (original) model on a bracelet and discounted heavily (to £220 or so?).

They have also had heavily discounted Zeniths in previous years and I almost bought one (and have regretted not doing so ever since).

I haven't been in a long time, nor looked to buy a Tag/ know what a new Tag costs, so I'm not sure what they have now!

It used to be quiet there, back in the day, but when Mrs9 drags me up there now; the crowds are huge, the bargains few and far between and the shops generally stock a lot of still overpriced tat.

I generally try and get a pass to drop her there and go and see the Autofarm boys, up the road!

I dropped in to have a look when there last summer, they had some watches priced up with big discounts, IIRC I think I saw a watch with RRP about £2500 discounted to £14XX. Couldn't tell you the model name/number (but it was a TAG/Senna brand watch) or whether it was a current model,etc . I would be interested to know if there are any genuine deals to be had there.

I'll let you know if they do. I know that they do not have latest models there, and not the model I am buying from DomH

I went there a few years ago while in the market for a Monaco.

They had one in stock, discounted but it had a few scratches on the side of the main face bezel. I was really close but just couldnt get over the scratch.

Fast forward a few years, the watch was worn daily for a long time and has loads of small scratches......

Currently needs the strap clasp looking at though and dont fancy sending it off to Tag for a £500 service!!!!

Did you go in the end or not bother?

I did. Some OK deals, a Monaco was discounted by around £1800
