I have used those a few times and been great service. Prices are always a bit cheaper then in any shops Id found the watches in too.

I really REALLY want a couple nice watches but I cant afford them atm as I move out on Friday
Seen a Seiko Titanium Chrono for £275 which will do as a nice starter watch for now though

For those prices have you considered the Rado range?
I know its alot of wedge for a quartz movement but they are nice watches. Its the 'Ceramica' range you want to look at.
A family friend has the black Ceramica Chrono and it really is a nice looking watch!
If you in Chester then pop to the jewellers on the cross. They carry alot of the range and the prices are pretty much the same.

I was trying on the Omega Speedmaster's but I just cant spend that cash at this point. The speedies are nice watches though as a mixture of dress and sportiness.
I made sure I dressed smart so they would actually let me in

Na don't think it was. I got it in America, think it worked out about £90, had a very good selection of Nixon's.
