Is certifiedwatchstore.com legit? Any experiences?

[dishwab]

Hi all, I'm looking at purchasing a watch and this site has it at a 20% discount from the retail price

Michael Kors MK5162 Ceramic Chronograph Ladies Watch - Black Dial Black Ceramic Case Quartz Movement

that is the link to the watch on their site. It seems ok at first glance, but I can't find many reviews about them online anywhere so I'm a bit suspicious. Does anyone have any experience with this site? Advice?

thanks, Joe

I don't know if it's legit or not. I have read a dozen or so reviews but they are all recent and posted to reseller after your original post. This looks fishy to me.

I was looking for a Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Skyhawk A-T Titanium Watch #JY0010-50E. Most of the established companies list it for $637.50 which I suspect is a Citizen price point. This company lists it at $425.00. I fell for this type thing once when I tried to buy a video camera from an NYC internet company. The old bait and switch and rude idiot to deal with when I didnt bite.

I did find the following on the Ripoff Report...

Ripoff Report: Certified Watch Store Rip Off - Caveat Emptor Brooklyn New York

"The Certified Watch Store is a certified RIP OFF. Beware!!!! Over a month ago I ordered a watch. I recieved an email saying it was delayed. 5 calls later and the New York run-around, I had to cancel the order. The head of Customer No Service is Eric. After calling and asking to speak to a supervisor, we were given the run around and then Eric hung up on me. Sadly, I was told each time “Oh, we just got a shipment in and your watch will be sent out.” If you are looking for a bad customer experience and want to get ripped off in a New York minute, then be sure to order from The Certified Watch Store."

This may be unfair but I am extremely uncomfortable with this store.

Update
After further review, It has been confirmed that their watches are in fact Brand New and in box and my situation is not usual for certified watch store. It was a just a misunderstanding. Certifiedwatchstore.com gladly refunded the full amount and the matter is now 100% resolved. I am happy with the outcome and are glad it turned out the way it did. Certifiedwatchstore.com does not sell refurbished watches.
