watch shops ( rolex and others) in London
Hi,
Im visiting London in couple of weeks and would love to visit some of the grey market dealers who have good inventory on not only Rolex but all watches including vintage. Any suggestions ? Also what do I expect in terms of pricing in comparison to Dubai? and is there a tax/VAT on the watches from these shops ? and for sure im not wearing any watch while visiting  thanks |

Prices in the secondary market are terribly overpriced in London compared to US and Asia.

London is great for window shopping that's it, prices are a good 20-30% over what you can find online.
