The largest independent, non-commercial, consumer-oriented resource on the Internet for owners, collectors and enthusiasts of fine wristwatches. Online since 1998. | |||||||

A forum for identifying and avoiding wholly or partially non-authentic wristwatches --
including counterfeit, replica, Frankenwatches and other fake or bastardized pieces.
Our objective here is to DISCOURAGE the sales and purchase of counterfeit
wristwatch and jewelry products. It is also for helping people identify
watches that are mostly authentic, but have been: altered for personal customization,
repaired with inappropriate parts or modified to be passed off as more valuable pieces.
Including a photo of the piece you are talking about ALWAYS helps! You can learn how to post a photo here: How To Include Photos In Your Postings. 'For sale' postings, commercial solicitation and ads are not allowed. Links to Internet auctions are acceptable only if their purpose is to question the authenticity of a product or provide new clues for identifying counterfeit products. Links that appear to be 'shills' promoting the sale of counterfeit products will be deleted. Links to websites of sellers of counterfeit items are not permitted -- we know they are out there and do not need to be encouraging them by sending traffic to their sites. Privacy, additional policies and administrivia are covered in the Terms of Use.

: I have placed an order with this company for a Rolex on 24/12/09
: and was assured delivery in 6-8 weeks. After numerous calls and
: 2 assurances that the watch would be delivered in 2 weeks, Lee
: Niles has e-mailed me (22/3/10) to confirm that the company's
: bank account is frozen and that they cannot provide either a
: refund or a watch.
: I am being provided a refund from my credit card company and am
: corresponding with their fraud dept who undoubtedly will be
: investigating this matter very closely (and I will provide them
: with copies of all correspondence).
: I suspect the Branded Watch Company did not place the order with
: their supply in December 2009 when I ordered the watch, hence
: the delay and the raft of excuses.
: If you are still 'waiting' for your watch, I urge you to wait no
: longer and arrange legal proceedings or contact your credit card
: company.
Update - according to Companies House, the Branded Watch Company (06528463) has been dissolved. I urge anyone with outstanding business/orders to urgently contact their credit card supplier or seek legal advice if they have paid by other means.
From my e-mail correspondence with MD Lee Niles today, I can only conclude that this individual is a fraud; he claims to be awaiting delivery of my watch from the USA, despite the fact his company has been dissolved.
