I have dealt with them 1 time. I purchased one of their G10 models. The one I ordered ended up not being in stock and they 'upgraded' me to their most current spec model. This was a couple of years ago. Their shipping was fast considering it was coming from England. I will not order from them again. The reasons being that (1)They didn't ask me if I wanted an upgrade or to be put on backorder until the item was back in stock. (2) The upgrade cost close to twice what the one I wanted cost. (3) The exchange rate is crap for the US dollar. (4) I have since found other places to order the brands they carry, at better prices. Their is a lot of debate over this company, and one of the brands they carry, over at MWR. I don't describe my experience as bad, just a lesson learned about what I want or don't. The watch is doesn't seem to be a bad quality product. It keeps good time, the date changes right at midnight and my dad likes it. The lume isn't the greatest, but dad doesn't really do much in the dark that would require that. I hope this has helped some. If you know which style of watch your leaning towards, I can probably point you in the right direction.

If you know which style of watch your leaning towards, I can probably point you in the right direction. I'm not in service anymore, and look for something in Europe to save on taxes & duties. I liked one of their divers': MWC NATO Special Forces Divers Watch Black PVD, 21 Jewel auto, sapphire, luminova hands & markers, date at 3 o'clock, and all this for just £139, S&P extra. Seems good. Yet all suggestions are welcome. Thanks, bro, and watch your behind there, dingo69

Check E Bay for that one. I've seen it on there before. I think the seller's store was 'Military Watches and Surplus'. I'd also do a search under 'military dive watch', 'divers or dive watch' and 'military watch'. You should be able to find it under one of those. I haven't heard a lot of positive things about MWC or the customer service for non-military personnel. You might give a look at the O&W(Ollech&Wajs) line of divers. They are a reasonably priced, reliable and 'Swiss Made".
