Arcane_Watches on instagram - anyone purchased from them?

Hi there, has anyone used arcane_watches based in Huddersfield? I'd be keen to know if anyone has and what their experience has been. Thanks in advance!

Bilal Khan. Just another young Asian lad from Yorkshire selling watches via Instagram for the quick buck. Like a few of the others he seems to get the good stuff. Only been selling for 18 months. Selling investments as he says.....wtf? I'm sure he's okay....what could go wrong?

Right?

OP … Not sure what you’re after, but I wouldn’t do business with anyone that their primary online existence is Instagram. I guess it depends on the scope of business you’re looking for.

Thanks all for the feedback. I've only ever bought from ADs, I'm various lists but I haven't got lucky recently

When I wanted to purchase a 2 tone datejust for the wife I ended up with a much longer wait then expected!

I rarely use IG apart from viewing family pictures but was intrigued with the "good stuff' many of these IG only sellers seem to have and advertise frequently. I'm getting frustrated wit the market and this constant talk of watches as an investment, the problem is I just cant see it ending!

Resurrecting this thread to say that I’ve just had a fantastic experience in selling a watch to Arcane. I dealt in person with them at their secure office in Huddersfield. Nice, straight up guys and an easy, no fuss deal. They also have some stunning physical stock.
