Hi from London
I'm about to take the plunge with watches.co.uk, and was wondering if anyone out there had had any dealings with them? any info received gratefully!
Cheers!

hi Gary, Welcome to TRF.

They are good guys - John (the main man there) is very passionate about watches. He is hard to budge on price though ;-)

Yes John is one of the good guys but not always the cheapest but reliable good service and watches as described .John, Tim, Sophie and Dee are all great with good customer service,I arranged to go to Chiswick in person and a very satisfied customer.

I have personally visited these guys and bought my tt sub from them. Excellent service and no problems at all. I would certaily use them again.
Ask the boss about his car and number plate. You will see what I mean if you go there. Its only in Chiswick. Take some change for the parking meters and there are loads of places to park.

Wouldn't touch a BNIB M SS Daytona I had recently though. Or at least couldn't offer me anything like £6k+ that I was asking for. Went to Zac at Ancient & Modern in Blackburn for £400 more than John was offering at watches.co.uk ...
