The website was brought up on another thread so I checked it out. It looks like they have some very competitive prices for new watches. Has anyone bought from them and had good or bad experiences with them? Any info about them would make me more comfortable about them. Thanks in advance.

I bought two omega's from them with no problem. I don't think they keep much in stock and it took them about two weeks to get my watches. I also assume they are gray market.
Overall, I was very pleased and good prices.

I just bought a Breitling from Alan Furman...spoke with Claudia..she was great!! Got the watch in 3 days!!! Brand new with all the papers, including chronometer certificate(that some other grey market places do not include)...I think their prices are great, they have informative and friendly staff and you will get a new watch!!!...Enjoy!!

I work down the street from their brick and mortar store in Rockville and bought a watch from them a few years ago. The entire process was very professional and straightforward.

They are a legitimate enterprise. They are "gray market" and get their watches from AD's all over the country. You don't get the manufacture's warranties and I have found that I can get better prices from a couple AD's I have relationships with and get the manufacturer's warranty!! If you can't, then Alan Furman is an OK way to go.

Thank you

AD's are Authorized Dealers of a particular manufacturer and are the only ones that can generally give you the manufacturer's warranty. Grey market are not AD's but can get new product and generally cannot give you the manufacturer's warranty, but will warrant it themselves, for whatever that's worth.

Scott Levin at Topnotch is a good guy. He sells "un-warn" new product and pre-owned product and warrants the product himself. He is the NBC News anchor in Buffalo, NY.

Hope this helps you!!
