Too good to be true?

Recommended Posts

Martin72

The very fact that I'm asking the question means there's some major alarm bells going off but the prices are very good and you boys are the experts, so

 

http://www.luxurytimemart.com/

 

Whilst looking for a treat gen for my 40th this has suddenly sprung up in the Google Shopping results, so it's a new website and it's very cheap.

 

Personally I wouldn't buy from it as things stand, opinions from you all?

Martin you know the answer. Why you asking. Not a TD.

Correct me if I'm wrong but he is talking about gens...or do you buy gens from TDs also? :D

Exactly and I quote myself "Whilst looking for a treat gen for my 40th"

 

I wouldn't be paying £1500 for a rep Breitling ;)

I don't know about this website...but do they offer paypal?

The prices seem to be...well, very nice - lets put it that way :)

 

Don't know if I'd risk it. Contact them, see if they accept paypal. Ask around and try to find reviews of the seller and bring the watch to an AD after you get it.

I usually buy gens from dealers I know personally. Sometimes you can talk the price down a bit then :)

Well, on their "about us" page, they list:

LuxuryTimeMart.com

993 Lenox Drive

Lawrenceville, NJ 08648

 

Although, when doing a google search, there are many businesses, law offices, etc. at that address, but they are not listed as being there.

Something fishy about this site to me.

I didn't look too deep, only looked at Ebel and the prices for those are cheaper on Amazon. But nothing about that site screams real. Call the number, the message states "thanks for calling Watches on Sale." Cannot get anyone on the phone, have to leave a message. If it appears too good to be true, it usually is.

£1500 for a Superocean Heritage was just too good I felt, worth sharing all the same as people come here for advice on avoiding scams and this just seems more than a little fishy!

Hell, worst case you pay with a CC, take to an AD upon receipt and verify gen. If not, file dispute. Personally, I would go the barge pole route.

Indeed Del SWD was on my shortlist of legit looking websites to either buy from or use as leverage in the high street ;)

Are they new or used? You're not going to get a new Rolex for 35% off

Looks like the guy who owns the website also runs a scam guitar website as well

So steer well clear (as if we didn't know already!)
