UK Grey Dealer verification

I've come across this site (www.deliciouswatches.co.uk) in some posts before but havent found any feedback from actual purchasers.

I spoke to them on the phone and they sound genuine and are willing to allow me to pick up the watch from them when they get it in (after they place the order).

Before I think of putting a deposit down.. have any of you used them before?

I know of David Duggan, Dreamwatches, Blowers Jewellers etc.. but delicious seem the best priced...

Used to be blitzwatches who went belly up a little while back same owner etc.....I wouldn't use them.

I have however used watchfinder on numerous occasions and recently got a great deal on Breitling Chronomat Evo.

Just checked a 16610, DW = £2850 WF £2900 for an extra £50 I know where I'd go.............. although for the amount of saving I would probably just pony up the £3090 and get it from an AD.

At those sort of differences an AD is the way to go.

DW are prepared to discount a further 10% when you speak to them.. so saving is about £400-£500 which then begins to make more sense?

In that instance payment by credit card would be essential.

Should they go "belly up" again then the CC company would finally refund your transaction.

The savings you get by buying from an unknown can easily be eaten up in frustration and anxiety , while waiting for your purchase to materialze. There is of course the bitterness that results when it all goes wrong and you end up again having to put out more money to buy from a known but more expensive source. No one ever regretted buying quality and service Go AD
