Non Authorised Rolex Dealers.

[francom82]

Hi Guys

With the help of you guys I have settled on the GMT II TT. I have seen the official price of this watch is £5,310.00 from any Rolex AD.

I have found a website called http://www.deliciouswatches.co.uk, they have the exact same watch for £4,510.00. This makes for quite a substantial saving. All their watches are brand new and they tell me they are genuine.

Has anyone come across this site before. They are based in the UK and I have phoned them and spoken to them and all appears to be genuine.

I am in the UK too by the way. And they said I could come and collect it if I wanted to.

What are everyone's thoughts.

Regards

Franco

Hi Franco, welcome to the hang out


Lifted from the site in question....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Manufacturers Warranty
The following brands come with the manufacturers warranty

A Lange & Sohne, Audemars Piguet, Baume & Mercier, Breguet, Breitling, Cartier, Franck Muller, Hublot, IWC, Jacob & Co, Jaeger LeCoultre, Maurice Lacroix, Panerai, Patek Philippe, Raymond Weil, Rolex, Ulysse Nardin, Vacheron Constantin and Zenith

Even though we are not an authorised dealer for these brands they do come with their 2 year international warranty as supplied by the manufacturer and can be repaired by any authorised dealer for that brand. Warranty service shall be handled directly between the consumer and the manufacturer. The watch will include a manufacturer's original endorsed warranty card. "
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are not sure at all then why not put a call into the RSC (not a million miles away from your location) and double check that they will honour the warranty if needed in the two year period. If not then you'd be having to pay them for any work.

After that then they will treat the watch as like any other. You pays for your work like everyoneelse.

The Vendor is real - a grey dealer in the UK. The watch will most likely be genuuine enough, just the question needs asking, will Rolex honour the G'tee as it was not supplied by an AD.

Your call. Good luck

Hey

Thanks very much for that, I have spoken to Rolex Service and they say they will honour the warranty provided the warranty card has been filled in correctly.

The question is though, who are DeliciousWatches.co.uk getting their watches from. If they are genuine, then they must be getting them from a Rolex AD, and wouldnt the AD fill in the card with the date of purchase on? Therefore isn't there the possibility that a substantial part if not all of the 2 year warranty will have expired before the watch arrives with you?

Actually we can do better here in the USA, same watch for 3,950 pounds
But for UK prices 4500 pounds sounds good, most likely Tax paid.

Hi,

Myself and my brother have actually had experience with Delicious watches and we were definitely not impressed and would not recommend them to anyone. My Brother ordered a Zenith on their website....advertised as being available in 10 days. Paid 100%, got email notification and phone call saying I would get the watch in 10 days, all good i thought. After 10 days and no sign of the watch my brother called and spoke to Managing director Matt. promised watch was on the way, expecting delivery from supplier and should have it next week. Waited a week still no watch. Another phone call to Matt, another promise. He said he got the package from supplier but sent wrong watch, watch will actually be delivered next week. Another week gone and still no watch. Matt again blamed supplier. This sort of repeated for another 6-7 weeks....phone calls all the time to Delicious watches....more promises from them....even got the BJA (British jewelers Assoc) involved, who were also given the same assurances that the watch was on it's way...but still no sign. All the time they were holding our money...about 3K gbp....earning interest on it....more often than not not even returning our phone calls.

He must have promised delivery of the watch at least 7 times...all lies.

Even after 10 weeks waiting for our watch they still had it advertised it as being available within 10 days....which is breaking trading standards law.

In the end we canceled our order and got our money back (paid on credit card and the British Jewellers Assoc influence). The one thing this has def taught me is to only buy from Authorised Dealers.
