Watchfinder

I am looking at a Daytona at Watchfinder.
I have been told a few things that make me question their business practices.

Can anyone tell me about their experience with this business please.

I can only speak of selling to them….the prices they offer leave somewhat to be desired. I have considered buying from them in the past so will follow with interest

Ive dealt with Watchfinder since 2008 both buying and selling. I even used them for sale or return that they used to do prior to 2012 when they stopped. They are now owned by Richemont and to be honest they have always been above board. When it comes to selling to them they will offer a low and high based on condition. In most sales they have offered their max price so I couldn't complain. They are one of the uk's largest dealers so expect to see your watch they paid you £8,000 up for £11,000. its how they make money ultimately but their business practice is sound as far as im concerned.

In my experience safe and trustworthy but more expensive than others in uk . Poor trade in offers and purchase prices higher. A different point of contact everytime also. Watches.co.uk much better experience all round

I'm worried because the serial number looks very questionable
