Welcome aboard, Steve!

I'm certain some of our UK members will be around soon enough with some sage input.

Unless Tom Walkinshaw's given it a makeover, don't know about the Volvos, though ....

Hi Steve,

I've dealt with these people in the past for pre owned -

www.blowers-jewellers.co.uk
www.theoldwatchshop.co.uk
www.ancientandmodernjewellers.co.uk

Never had a problem with any of them.

My AD is in Lancaster & he usually has a few nice pre owned watches in stock -

www.bankslyon.co.uk

Hope this helps

Dan

Hi again, "Steve",

I believe you got my reply in the "New members" section. I have just learned that www.watchfinder.co.uk apparantly is NOT that good a site in terms of customer service, so sorry about my suggestion to go there.

But try out the others I suggested

Hi Steve! and a big welcome from another Scot! (I'm a little further South than you but a Scot nontheless), as for pre-loved Rolex sellers I will pm you some names to check out.
Volvo fan??? Yeah, for sure - if it's a T5-R, 850 R or a V70-R: nice motors.
Cheers - Neil.

Welcome. Hendersons in St Andrews has a TT Daytona @ £5,900 a White Face Explorer II @ £2,900 and a BNIB Sub Mariner.
Renounce the Volvo statements and I will forward you their telephone number.

Cheers

Welcome to the forum!! One of the nicest people I've met recently was a man from Scotland. He just moved here and was a salesman at the car dealership where we bought our new car. His name was Duncan Orr - sounded like a good Scottish name to me. My wife kept telling him he sounded like William Wallace from Braveheart, which I believe he took as a compliment.

Hi Steve,Welcome!

What you need is 5512!

Bama · 21 August 2007, 10:28 AM

Good one, Mike.

I'm younger than some here, but I can go back and watch his movies and appreciate how cool he was. I just watched Bullitt again not too long ago. Great movie.

Andad · 21 August 2007, 05:54 PM

Hi, and welcome.

Have you any pix of Steve McQueen driving a Volvo?

T5AUS · 21 August 2007, 09:41 PM

Hi Steve, welcome.
Rolex and Volvo, the two are definatly comparable in quality, style and workmanship.
