So i have finally found a watch I like after many months of research.
It's made by victorinox Swiss army and I cannot find a store in Australia that sells victorinox watches including army surplus stores to exclusive time piece stores. I nearly got ripped off by buying one online as they wanted a scan of my credit card and my credit card statement to apparently prevent fraud and this was after they took the money out of my account. I sent them an angry email saying send me the watch otherwise I will report THEM as being fraudulent. Thank god the refunded me with no explanation. I'm now scared to buy this watch online as its worth quite a bit and that experience put me off. I also emailed victorinox in Switzerland twice but they have not replied. Does anyone know of a store in Australia preferably in Perth that deals with victorinox Swiss army watches/timepieces? Would greatly appreciate your ideas. Thanks guys. Whitty.

No it was not ebay it was Bodying.com Ive bought a lot off ebay in the past with a few bad experiences too, and plus I dont feel comfortable with ebay as the watch may be a fake or I might not get the watch at all.
That webisite you suggested Ritz is out of stock with the watch I like plus the web page has issues loading sometimes. So ideally I would like to find a store in australia that I can phone (online stores do not provide a contact number) The watch im looking to purchase... (Victorinox, Swiss Army, Classic infantry #24695)

That watch on Amazon.com is similar but I do not want the day display just the date bit. Plus that watch is second hand.
timezone do not deal with Victorinox either. BUT!.... Im freaking out again too as Bodying.com has charged me again! they refunded me yesterday and now they have charged me again! NOT HAPPY! fingers crossed they do not ignore my email and they give me my money back.
