Help needed please

Hi everyone.

I am looking to buy a watch and looking through the internet I found a site which has just an incredible price for the watch I want, the site in question is: buygoodwatches. Has anyone here purchased a watch from them or knows someone who did?

Apparently they are in business from 2008 or earlier, so that's rather a good sign, the phone number is in the US, I really would like anyone who bought a watch from them tell me their experience with them, as the watch I intend on buying is everything but cheap, but they have such an incredible price, 20.000 USD when the retail price for the same watch is 36.000 that I am really wondering how that's possible.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

It's this one, a Blancpain watch, but they sell new watches, no second hand, they have quite a number of brands but not Rolex;

My first impression...grey market dealer with no inventory. That's a wicked selection for them to be able to actually carry it. So expect 4-12 weeks after order as they scramble to find your order through an AD...One of the dead giveaway's is the Price upon Request on the rarer / higher value watches.

I cannot add anything pertaining to their reputation.

Well I got the answer from that site, the price is not 20.040 but 24.500, so it´s not more interesting than buying from my favorite dealer here knowing that I would have had to either pay taxes for the entry in Europe or have had to go to New York, so the subject is closed, when I have the money I will buy them in France.

Thanks foŕyour answers.
