Damn if only my Dad was in town. His credit card has protection for things like this. That watch is around £3,000 including shipping. I think you could get around £6,000 for it as I'm seeing a 2010 online for £6,350. Could quite easy double my money and get my sub with the profits.
Then if it was a fake credit card company would probably fix it. Then again wouldn't feel right taking a risk on my dads card. |

No photos of the glidelock. No photos of the HRV. I can't actually make out any engraving on the rehaut (but admittedly I am viewing it on an iPhone). Also would you hand over that much cash to someone who spells worn as 'worm'?!?!

as for worn vs worm the letters n and m are next to each other so it's just a typo. |

Yes, it's a mistake that's acceptable on a forum or eBay but not on a company website. Also, don't you think it just a little odd that their UK-based phone number: 020 8123 0086 doesn't appear in a single Google search?!?! A company selling watches worth tens of thousands of pounds with no history whatsoever?!?! Oh yea, and the domain is registered to an address in China!! Not for me buddy. . .

How did you find out where the domain is registered if you don't mind me asking. Yeah I was never really close to buying it, I just got excited. The UK has a shortage of trusted sellers and I really like the idea of becoming one but I don't think I'd ever find the stock. |

USPS Registered mail takes 10 days to go around the corner. Return Policy Even though we have a full Return Policy, there are some rules you should attend to if you are in any way unhappy with your purchase: Items are eligible for a refund provided they are returned in the exact conditions they were shipped, an within 10 days from being delivered. Also, returns must be shipped via USPS Registered Mail (with insurance covering the full amount paid for the item); naturally, all costs incurred for shipping returns will be the buyer's responsibility.

Interesting they demand it be shipped back by USPS but ship it worldwide. How are people supposed to return it internationally at all ? |

Take that for instance. The pictures clearly show a real watch (unless I'm missing something). Now in the case where the pictures are right then if they sent you the wrong watch then any credit card with protection would reimburse you. If I was in America I'd try this out. |

I can only assume that this website is giving such large discounts as a public service--3 to 5 K discounts----they are so full of it---it must be a scam

This looks eerily like
Another site that disappeared a few months ago after several people complained about sending money and never getting a watch or response... Not sure if these are the same people or the same company but it looks just like the one that disappeared...I'd be very careful

Moved from the GD area......
These types of questionable sellers, and/or watches, need to be posted in the "watchout out" section!!! That website, and those behind the scam are complete thieves... If it's thousands below a fair price, it's for a reason...and that's to prey on the gullible!!!

The website referenced, looking like it is out of China, is actually sharing a Russian IP Address:
http://www.pagesinventory.com/ip/81.177.140.161.html Showing the IP address being used by www.buy-rolex.org http://www.iptrackeronline.com/index...81.177.140.161 Showing where this IP address is physically located Hidden registration, China, Russia.....misspellings, typos, pricing....all screams of a scam.......

Photos are ripped off of the eBay seller topnotch-watch. That same pedestal and house are in all of their photos.
