    maniac...don't even know why you bothered asking for advice...since your responses show you had no intention OTHER than to buy the blessed watch. Absloutely pointless exercise imho........ when you ignore what people tell you...buy off a possible dropshipper... . And as for " I've e -mailed the seller and he assures me he'll send a receipt..."..and what if the receipt isn't acceptable to Diesel??? What about the warranty papers...and are you sure that he's selling a legit watch..and not a copy??? What will you do if the add-ons bring the cost up to £110 plus as soolin says?? Methinks you developed obsessive purchase syndrome over this watch...lol.

    Let's hope it does stay okay...cos despite yr words...I doubt your guarantee will be valid.....
    ...and it's also on sale elsewhere in the EU from approved retailers at 149 euros.........inc p&p and insurance.

    Hold on lol...pointless you say...I think not. I have taken into consideration what people have been posting and thanks guys for your responses. As you can see on post #17 the person had purchased a DKNY watch from USA and saved herself a few bob. At the end of the day id rather pay £70/80 instead of £125! Is this not a moneysaving website?

    I'm with mike230652 on this one. Money saving is one thing but even 70p is too much to spend if you don't get the product you want, let alone £70! Part of saving money is knowing when a good deal isn't.

    Well I have bought it now...if it turns out to be real and I clear customs I would call that a bargain!

    P.S I dont think the seller is that bad. A rating of 76 with 100% feedback. Ok 3 neutral in the last year and 2 withdrawn. If you read the comments no one has said the watches are fake or that they come with no box. Plus this guy has left me positive feedback and sent me an email to confirm payment and when item will be shipped!

    Just an update on this i have now purchased 2 diesel watches, saved £60 on the one mentioned on the first post and £50 on the second one i have bought. Delivery was very quick....only took 3 days! They both cleared customs without extra charges so I have saved a few bob!
