My brother over in Germany just sent me this watch, I'm 99.9% sure it's fugazi but he keep saying it's not. Looks nice on my wrist though [emoji]128533[/emoji]

Wait, hold up, is this site legit?
The prices I see look great, I just want to know I'm not looking at some fake watches though.
Feels almost too good to be true.

JomaShop is definitely a legitimate grey market store.

Figured it would be a grey market store.
From the reading I've done, I've been hesitant to pull the trigger on grey market items for fear of ending up on FakeWatchBusta.
Anyone on here done business with them?

I've bought from them and plenty of people from WatchUSeek.com has purchased from them because when they do their deep discounts.
They are legit and if you have a problem, returns isn't too difficult.
I haven't read a report where they sold someone a fake watch.

Fair play. I assume you didn't get any warranty or paperwork?
Came in a legit box and all right?
That Fredrique Constant you posted really has be interested to pull the trigger.

I only got a Tag and iirc it did come with the card just not stamped so I can't go to Tag for warranty.
Joma has their own warranty though and if a problem occurred I would have had to go through them.
Others who have bought Rolex and Omega from them didn't come with cards/warranty but all boxes and instructions were included.

Sleep on it and check it out in person if you can. I was pleasantly surprised at how many stores carry Frederique Constant,, in my are at least. Most have them and even discovered that Bloomingdales carried them.
The watch wears big for a dress watch, it's already 42mm and the small bezel just makes it look even bigger. Plus the blue dial version is a sight to behold.
Best of luck and keep us updated on your decision!

Yeah that's the thing. I'm not in the States, and would have someone close to me proxy it for me, which is part of my concern of actually checking it out in person first.
I'm starting to get cold feet cause I keep thinking with my luck, a week after I get it in my hands, some problem will come up and I'll wish I had that warranty.
Thinking to myself I should just wait until next year throw some extra cash on and get something else from an AD.

If you're talking about a grey market/Joma purchase, there IS still protection as far as I know.
So if some problem comes up, you won't be left high and dry. Either Joma will fix it or they will activate the warranty on their end and get it fixed through the manufacturer.
That's always been my understanding. Never had a problem with any watches I've purchased grey market in the time period where the warranty would cover it.

Thanks for a bit more insight.
I've got a few more days before I really am forced to make a decision. I'll see what happens over the next few days...

yeah Joma provides their own warranty so if anything happens then they'll try and fix it and if they can't then they'll try and work with the manufacturer.
Check around though, I would guess the brand would be easy to find in your location as well. I forget are you in Canada?

Yup, I was shopping at one with my boy a few months ago, and the AD wanted to give him a serious price of about 2300 after negotiating down for I think this model: http://www.jomashop.com/frederique-constant-watch-303mc3p6b.html (tax is ridiculously high here- 100% on imported goods
) and there's where I become a lot more interested in picking up a FC.
