It might not help too much, but I brought my watch in late November from him. Also got a reply from an email enquiry in Jan. His website is watches.es now

Sorry guys before the rumours get out of control might as well hear it straight from the horses mouth!. Ive not been well last few months, stress related mainly, doctor said I have to cutback on my business activities, so that is what I have had to do for the sake of my health and my family. It may only be 'Au Revoir' though, let's see what the future brings!. Have been passing my old clients onto Syd from Time4Diamonds as he is a proper guy and will look after you almost as much as I did ;-)

All the best to you, Darren. You looked after me well a few years ago when I was buying and selling, now ready to buy again and I started looking for you but of course found this thread.

Thanks for posting and all the best to you.

P.S. Have been wondering about whether to trust Time 4 Diamonds for a while. Could not find any info but hearing you recommend them is extremely comforting!

If you deal with them let us know, they always seem to have the watches I'm interested in but comms have never been good and I don't trust them.

I have dealt with them recently for a watch for the other half.. it was good smooth transaction. Went up to their office in More London, close to London Bridge/ Tower Bridge and examined the watch, like what I saw and deal sorted....
