Thanks Painkiller, Shortlist win.

I'd like to pass on my thanks to the lovely Painkiller for making it possible to win a Shortlist competition. I won a mans Jorg Gray watch worth over £500 as stated in the comp details. Sorry I can't add the comp link!
However, the winning email stated the watch was worth over £250. I received the watch today and it is lovely, but very different from the picture posted in the competition details. When I looked on their website I now find the watch I received is on sale for £199.
All a bit misleading I thought!
So should I be grateful for the win and say nothing about the discrepancies? or complain?
Advice please.

Lovely win well done, I was beginning to think that nobody won the Shortlist comps :rotfl:0

Congratulations on your win :T
Personally, I wouldn't complain as you still have a £199 watch out of it and that's not to be sniffed at. I would never pay that much for a watch so I would just accept it graciously

Well done PL. To answer your question, there were 2 shortlist comps. for Jorg Gray watches. This one which ended on 29/08
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4747814 2 watches worth £250 each and this one which ended on 04/09 https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4752468 1 watch worth £500
You can't write to shortlist and ask them which comp. you won your watch from (well I say can't, I wouldn't, up to you entirely). I feel the same as nod off though, you have a watch worth £199 which could be the £250 one reduced in price. I would be very grateful and not worry about the odd 50 quid, unless you wanted to sell it, then it would be different. xxx

Congrats
Also, companies normally go on an inflated RRP for prize values but that is still an expensive watch at £199 Feb wins: Angry Birds mug, £250 Perfume Shop bundle
