90% off Cacharel watches at Amazon

But only for a week! There are a couple of nice simple ones. Most of them are down from about £250 to £25 each!!!

Hope it's useful to someone.

    I know it says they're reduced from £250 or whatever, but where in the world are they on sale anywhere than on Amazon? And is there any evidence that they were ever on retail sale for those high prices? I went through Google etc. and only Amazon seems to sell them.

    I believe Cacharel is a fashion house so not some made up name probably just licensed out its name as for being made in china virtually everything with a designer name is now days from Nike to M&S so nothing new there

    I've emailed Amazon.co.uk thusly -
    You have a lot of Cacharel watches on sale "at 90% off". A typical price is £219.95 reduced to £21.99. But are those higher prices really genuine?

    A bit of research on Google shows nobody else selling Cacharel brand watches other than Amazon, except for a single seller on Ebay wanting £54 inc P&P (reduced from £219). The Cacharel brand seems to be licenced to a company called Peers Baker in West Bromwich.

    What is it about the watches that could possibly justify a price tag of over £200? Are they in fact on sale anywhere, right now, in the UK or anywhere else, other than Amazon? If so, what prices are they going for?

    I have no problem with you selling these watches at an honest price. But you can tell I think this is dodgy - and borderline illegal.

    I will share any reply.

    Good for you, this is like those crappy TV auction channels with their over inflated prices.
