The Watchery

Anyone have any experience buying through the online dealer? www.thewatchery.com

I'm looking at buying an Ebel Brasilia. Great prices there. Just wondering if its a legit site or not.

thanks

They are a well known store. I have heard nothing bad about them at all.

I got another question. So I talked to a live representative and asked if they don't buy through ebel, where do they get their product from. He said they go through wholesalers in order to get the pricing they can give you.

what wholesalers would that be? So ebel sells to wholesalers, and wholesalers sell to online dealers and non-authorized dealers?

This just means that they deal in gray market goods. They buy from resale sources who are trying to move merchandise so you will not know their sources. It's all good though and you will get a good price. In order to verify the price you may want to type Ebel in to Google and check other online sellers to make sure you are getting the best deal. be careful about the too-good-to-be-true deals though. They usually are.
