Has anyone any experience or stories about this dealer.?

Seems a strange name for a watch dealer and I can't see much about them on the internet. They have been on operation on C24 since 2023, have 2,500 active listings of some very nice stock and a 4.9 rating on 500 sales. Maybe I'm just being overly cautious, but a lot of the reviews are very generic (but is this perhaps normal?), the name seems odd, the prices keen without being overtly cheap and well China...

They have an unworn with box and papers of a watch I've been after for some time and doesn't come up for sale very often and is around half retail price, hence the interest. They also have something my OH may be interested in - wondering if a bulk discount can be negotiated.

Also, what's normal when you put a bid in on C24? I put a variety of lower offers in starting at 10% under and anything more than 3% it warns me is unlikely to be accepted.

can't really comment but every watch i clicked on said "item needs to be procured" so they don't actually hold any stock. make of that what you will.

Thanks.

I am looking at some Franck Muller. The one I’m interested in is in stock and of the three variants my OH likes, one is in stock and two are available within 5 days.

What were you looking at?
