Sometimes if it's too good to be true it usually is. I would move on.

I would not deal with them

It is difficult for me to accept that 50% discount could come from a source that could be trusted. I would move one. My 2 cents.

I checked the site out. For example, I looked at the DeepSea. Those photos are the same ones being used in the For Sale Section here on a DeepSea I looked at yesterday...suspicious to me.

I looked up the owner of the domain name and found it odd that it's only registered for a year. (Yes I'm a web designer too...)

Initial indications definitely seem to lead towards staying away from that particular site. As mentioned before, there are several trustworthy, reasonably priced watches from reputable sellers right here on TRF.
