watchfinder.co.uk: any comments?

Blackpitts

hey guys
i've been browsing websites and fora for ages and it seems that the best price that I can get for a brand new Omega Speedmaster (double sapphire) is on watchfinder.co.uk.
have you had any experience with this website? was it good or bad?
are they open to some...negotiation on price or not?
Any feedback is really appreciated

I havent, but a mate has bought two watches from there. He was happy with the service anyway.

can vouch for these guys too. was very happy with them but beware that their return policy is 7 days. that's grand if buying for yourself but useless if you're buying a gift as that 7 days will probably have lapsed by the time you hand it over.

yep used them for a new purchase, took a little longer than i had hoped but that aside it was perfect, never bought used from them tho

it seems that the warranty they give is not the manufacturer one...which means i should go through them if I get an issue with my watch.
I've being looking at bankslyon.co.uk too and they claim that they give the internation manufacturer warranty on every new watch, which is good for the same price.
I see some good feedback on bankslyon, I wonder if anyone have heard of them before...

They are Omega authorised dealers so I see no reason why the warranty would not be legit.

I was talking about watchfinder, I was told that they don't give the official warranty.
The guy from Banklyon said i can get the official one only if I buy from him

well he must have been, funny that

id double check with watchfinder but that was my experience a lot of the grey dealers just get a better discount from ADs than us regular joes, so they add a commission and then sell on

just checked with watchfinder, this is what the girl wrote:
"It is the full international manufacturers warranty . You can go to any Omega International Dealer anywhere in the world "
I think i'm going to buy my Speedmaster with a almost 40% discount on the RRP price then ;-)
