Are you an official supplier of these watches?

Yes. We are an official supplier for all of our watch brands. We do not obtain watches from the 'grey market' like some other internet websites. You should beware of buying from companies who are not official suppliers as they are unable to deal with the manufacturer directly and offer you the support you may need in the event of a problem, or obtain replacement parts. There has been an explosion of internet watch websites over the past few years, and it can be difficult to determine which are official and which aren't. With us, you are assured that we are approved dealers of every brand listed on this website.

Are these watches actually in stock?

At The Watch Hut, we stock all of our watches listed on this website. So, unlike some of our competitors, we ship our watches directly from our stock so you can be assured of speedy delivery. We hold our stock in a high security warehouse, and our stock turnover is rapid - so you won't receive an old watch with a half-dead battery, or one that has been sitting on a jeweller's shelf for years. The Watch Hut dispatches nearly 100% of orders on time.
