Got a Couple of TAG watches.
Bought both as pre-owned, but in A1 condition, on eBay.
Sent both to TAG in Manchester for FREE authentication before the paypal refund period ended.
Both confirmed as OK.
Wish the TAG boutique in Houston would do this. They are among the most unpleasant and unhelpful lot I've ever come across in retail.

I wouldn't set foot in a boutique [unless it's to get out of the rain], they have little incentive to help. They are really a 3D version of a sales catalogue, they are there to showcase the range.
The Manchester office I mentioned is the main UK service centre, this is where the retailers send watches for repair and service.
There must be a similar centre in the US.
My Instruction/User manual gives the following for 'North America.
LVMH Watch & Jewelry USA[Inc.], 966 South Springfield Avenue, Springfield, NJ07081. Phone [+1]866-260 04 60.
May be worth a call.

JohnWoo,

The sales guy @ the Boutique in Manchester UK was very helpful.
He matched a discount that I had from a dealer miles away & i didn't really want a postal service.
I do believe I left some money on the table and could have had a little more at another AD, however from the first phonecall to the welcome at the shop, the staff member did ALL that he said (including a discount) so overall my son was happy as he was £400 better off for waiting a week.

Only been in a London boutique [not a happy experience].
Maybe we are better mannered here in the north.
My last post was mainly for member jsducote in Houston for information, seems like he had the same salesperson that I had.
Did you buy the BB?

Ah,
No problem.
I don't like bad service and therefore I'm quick to jump to defense if service is ok. My only disappointment was discount level, but my lad was happy enough. That however is marque dependent, currently looking at a Tudor BB GMT & don't think I'm going to get much off that.

I read an article by a watch collector recently. He is of the opinion that certain Tudor models are under priced and will soon go up in value [similar to their half brothers at Rolex]. Not to the same 'financial gain' level but whereby if you buy new, the re-sale value will not fall below your original retail purchase price just a few years down the line.
Nice watches and now with their own 'in house' movements.

JohnWoo,

I’ll be honest, I looked at BB GMT & BB Date Steel & was blown away by quality vs price, packaging is a bit sh1t but the watches are beautiful. I have settled on GMT as it just seem to look a bit bigger on the wrist, but I can’t get just enough p/x for my PO 42mm to deal & I have promised myself I will not buy another until I sell one.
