    A search for the phone number via this site also returns a valid-looking office address:

    Timepiece Store Braeside, VIC

    Phone: +61 3 9016 3308

    NONE OF THIS IS A GUARANTEE THAT THE STORE IS LEGIT but it does not seem to be obviously a scam site. But they also accept Paypal, so use that as a payment method should give you extra protection (so long as it's not payment via "friends and family" component of Paypal).

        No worries - especially when bargain hunting, it's good to know how to check real bargains from 'too good to be true' scam ones. And maybe you can help someone else someday.

    Seems real. Just another grey market dealer, based in Australia.

      That's okay with me if they eventually discount Ball and Longines. :P

      • George Washington on 15/02/2019 - 06:44

        Yes after a discount on Ball or a Longines. Now how do we get a deal from them?

          OP, send them a pm and negotiate

          you'll be the new watchnerd :)

    With the grey market dealers, be mindful that some of the warranties they provide are not manufacturer warranties.

    Did anyone purchase a watch from them? is it genuine?
