    Wights watches still going?

    They've had good feedback on threads on here, and I fancy getting an AP ROO from them when funds allow, but their website has been under construction for a couple if months.

    Perhaps that's not their main sales method.

    Anyone bought from them in the last few months?

    Cheers

    I have used them twice in December and thought Darren was excellent and v responsive.

    Darren seems to be working from Spain I think judging by the chrono24 ads....

    Thanks. That's not accessible unless you have an old link though, which suggests to me that it's not current and has just been left. The root page has no links any longer, just an under construction note.

    i bought my last watch from him and he said he was planning to close the bricks and mortar shop as most of his business was internet based anyway and the shop was costing a lot of money.

    the transaction i had with him was faultless and i would definately deal with him again.

    Looks like he's registered under his own name:

    Hi Guys,

    Thanks for all of the kind words from my previous buyers!, and yes I am still alive!.

    Closed the Cowes store in March and kept the London office (which my Associate AKA Friend of 10yrs Marco looks after!) and also have an office in Madrid. The Cowes store was pretty, but sold no watches. I've sold luxury watches now since 2001 so regardless of whatever name I trade under you are buying direct from me and I always try my hardest to keep my clients happy, although as with any sales environment there will be times when this isn't possible and I cannot meet the demands of the client and have to admit defeat.

    I'm so busy supplying other EU dealers, UK dealers and my Ebay/Chrono24 clients the website has slipped by the wayside as it needs a serious overhaul and every single watch (around 500) needs editing to remove the reference to the Cowes store, when I get the time and energy I will sort this out and get the website back online.

    Keep up the good work on TZ-UK
