    Has anyone used city watches.co.uk?
    From what I've seen it's a UK storefront but is actually imports, so will I get hit with import charge on top.
    I've seen this just to confuse my decision even more.....
    Like the idea of rotating inner bezel - like the popular Nighthawk that I can't see for sale anywhere. And it's different from Diver styles and Citizen eco-drive movement.
    What do you think?

    It’s the UK arm of Creation Watches. They use, or have used, an import ‘get around’ that avoids import fees.

    well heard bad things about them when over at the old place but nothing good or bad since coming here so that could say something about them check at wus around 2018 as well as vaguely remember someone linking several threads to them from wus in a post on here too

    have you looked at serious watches I think it is...sharkys had afew from them and seemed happy with them ?

    They were fine when I used them, but that was a few years ago. As with most shippers of their type, I wouldn’t expect great customer support if there was a problem. I kind of factor that in if the price is low enough, or if they have something that nobody else does.

    If the saving is small, I might decide to spend more elsewhere.
