it's tough buying from a new online retailer when you've come to trust others, even if they have great prices. well, i'm here to say i tried creationwatches.com after googling and finding no problems mentioned...and i now rate them one of the first places i would go to when considering a new watch that they happen to carry. i love seikos, and they had a rather hard to find auto diver i was looking for, and they had the best price on the internet. my second new seiko from them. further, i received the watch within 4-5 days of actually placing the order, FREE! that is really unheard of. because i needed to have the shipments held at the DHL station to be picked up, i needed to stay in touch with creationwatches almost every day and they made sure everything was all taken care of. best prices, free shipping door to door in under a week, and superb customer service! i love them. i have no affiliation with creation, am just so glad to find a truly great place to purchase from that has beaten all other sellers in all regards on my last two new seiko watch purchases. thanks again!
