Bloombarwatches

When Bloombar describes a watch as having "papers", do not take their word on it. Check! I recently bought a watch from them through watchcollecting.com. It was described as having "papers". This was not the case as the only thing that came with was a plastic warranty card. They (and watchcollecting.com) insisted that this was correct. I'm a member of a pretty well informed watch forum and having posed the question to some of the experts there, their opinions concurred with mine that a plastic warranty card per se does not constitute "papers". I wrote to Sam Buckell at Bloombar who disappointingly refuted any responsibility by replying, "As our contractual agreement as well as yours is with Watch Collecting, not with us we have referred your complaint to them with our comments." This statement is disingenuous as watchcollecting.com (as all auction houses) state clearly that they act as agents for the seller. This is not the the very first time I've bought from Bloombar but it will be the last. When things go well, they are fine. When things go wrong, however, they will do nothing by way of customer service. Myopically foolish..
