Another Tag F1 delivered by Santa, nice surprise replacement everyday/work watch.

A question to the collective, has anyone ever purchased a watch from
http://www.watchfinder.co.uk they currently have a watch for sale that I'm interested in but could really do with some feedback on the company. They also have an option to make on offer on the watch, would it be reasonable to expect some sort of discount.
Cheers
Dave

Two negatives make a positive but only in Scotland do two positives make a negative - 'Aye right.'

I have been to their offices in Maidstone - 5 or 6 guys all sitting at computers and a league table of who had sold the most that day / week / month. Seemed busy. I wouldn't buy from them on the account that they gave me a buy price for a watch then changed it when I got there, on spurious grounds. But if they have what you want and it's fair price then no reason not to.

That layout is called a "bullhead" - very unpopular over the long term unfortunately as I think its quite quirky (Panerai should use it for their mahoosive crown guard watches!)

Everydays a school day, yes i dont like it if the crown sticks into the back of your wrist/hand.
might be a bit out my price range though?

Even better for weirdos like me that wear their watch on the "wrong" wrist.
