Anyone used this online vendor?
Trying to track down a Seiko Prospex SRP773 Blue dial/bezel and having little luck thus far but found the following

Can't see a bricks and mortar address on that site.
That rings alarm bells for me.

Probably an outfit above a shop or something like that, with some busIness contacts in the Far East. Minimum overheads. Try getting a personal response from them before purchasing or check them at Companies House.

Re: Anyone used this online vendor?
Address wasn't obvious to me as browsing on phone. Just a mobile number is still iffy imo.

Re: Anyone used this online vendor?
Curiouser and curiouser..... I checked the address out on Google Maps street view (Nov 2015) ....(the adjacent van centre has an address of 122a Green Lanes so that checks out)
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.61390 ... 56!6m1!1e1
124-126 Green Lanes seems to be a flooring/door shop although www.floorland.net doesn't seem to exist any more and returns a Server Not Found error.

Missed that, thank you Scrogg.Scrogg wrote: Clearly listed on the site, along with a mobile number:

The address could be the company registered address, which may well be his accountant's office.

Nicolas Shengaris
43 fountains crescent
southgate
London
n14 6bg
United Kingdom
Phone:07812044827
Email:Floorland@hotmail.co.uk
But the following on the website seems a bit dubious - photocopied manual and not the official box - what's the explanation for that??

Just another grey dealer. Probably OK for an SKX or Mako, but anything better I would go to creationwatches or seiya Japan.

Re: Anyone used this online vendor?
The floor land email address and a private residence in Southgate sounds like the owner has a registered company in Green Lanes that sells flooring and he imports Japanese domestic market watches as a side business.neilj568 wrote:An ebay trawl revealed the following

I know both Southgate and Green Lanes areas well. My daughter lives near Southgate and went to school there.
I'd ask a few questions and say you know someone who lives nearby and then ask if it's possible for them to collect in person.
That should spark enough dialogue to suss out what sort of person it is
