I posted once said that My City Deal is doggy, and someone deleted my post on this forum.

There must some kind of link between this site and My City Deal.

Be aware any way.

I have the voucher, and a watch I want to buy, but I cant put my voucher in, or see where to put it, it keeps telling me its invalid.

Thats what I was thinking too.

I will be calling them at 10am today to lay into them.

Will report back here once done. :cool:

I called the customer services at watchesshop.com just to be told they cant do anything to help, i must use the websites "Contact Us" mail page to send the complaint direct to their MD Mr Danny Toffel.

I asked about the price match to their exact same watches they're selling on Amazon (one is only £45 too) but i got the same answer, talk to the MD who isnt in the office.

Im emailing them now. Back soon

Just out of curiosity, which watch do you fancy?

theres quite a few which are reasonable price, so I dont mind paying on top of it. the kenneth cole ones are a good price.

Hi there.
Yesterday I bought a MyCityDeal voucher for £5 that gives me a £50 eVoucher with yourselves to spend on a small selection of very beautiful watches. The only reason I did this was because there were a few lovely Krug Baumen watches from £49 to £59 which would make a fantastic birthday present & also makes the MyCityDeal deal brilliant value for money. There was also one or two other watches on your site that appeal to myself too.

However, I was watching your site last night. The moment the MyCityDeal ended, the Krug Baumen 150359KL watch doubled in price to £99 & a few mins later every other Krug Baumen watch under £99 jumped up to £99.

What on earth is going on here?
It certainly seems an unusual coincidence that ALL the sub £99 watches just happend to jump up to £99 when many people get £50 vouchers.

To be quite honest, I feel extremely cheated & furioulsy upset by this action.

To add insult to injury, that 2 of the Krug Baumen watches have just been set back to £49 OUT OF STOCK but you are still showing the 150359KL on Amazon as in stock

Please advise

What a coincidence, the watches I complained about, were dropped back to their original prices & out of stock, just minutes AFTER I spoke to customer services at watchesshop.com about them.

This is absolutely SHOCKING.....!!!!

I don't post on Grabbit much these days, but have read a few dodgy things about My City deals on other forums. This does sound like a scam frankly, and I am surprised and disappointed if MSE is happily part of it.

It goes against everything that the site stands for, and although we all know that the site must be a huge earner for Martin, I would hope that he values his personal reputation enough to look into this.

Personally, given all the problems and risks, I will be giving My City deals a wide berth.

I've re-read the deal again:

Voucher is redeemable against Triumph, Levis, Ballistic, J.Springs, Krug-Baumen and Charles Conrad brands

Please let me know if the voucher code is redeemable agains other brands.

HOLD UP A MO......

Firstly, I suspect there is a reason MSE support MCD, its because MCD do have dam good deals. Personally, I have used MCD many time & save a hell of a lot of £££ with them.

Secondly, after reading the MSE forums about MCD, I strongly suspect watchesshop.com are simply pulling a fast one & trying to get more cash out of people by using underhand tactics. Is that MCD's problem?
Thankfully, MCD have a 7 day refund policy which we can use.

Lastly, after reading the MSE forums & even with the disgusting sales behaviour at watchesshop.com, i will still use MCD. Thats how good value they have been to me.
