Hi All

I am thinking of getting a AP ROO Bumblebee. I am in the UK so I can't buy from a TRF trusted seller.

Can someone please recommend me an authorised AP dealer in the UK and tell me about the discount I can expect here in the UK

I can get 17.5% off retail in the Heathrow duty-free

HL65 · 11 January 2013, 08:56 PM

Why can't you buy from a trusted seller? Plenty of them here ship overseas.

tattooedfagin · 11 January 2013, 09:03 PM

Bought 2 watches myself from US dealers, no problems at all...good luck, the AP Bumblebee is on my list too

randyyeap · 11 January 2013, 09:12 PM

TRF trusted seller is the real man to buy. They ship oversea. Buy with confident.

Shikar · 11 January 2013, 10:04 PM

DavidSW will get you one in no time.

Regards.

Rob Laing · 11 January 2013, 10:29 PM

Thank you all for the replies. If I buy from a trusted seller on TRF, I will have to pay taxes plus 20% VAT when they ship it here so it will work out more expensive than buying from an authorised dealer here

Did you get my PM ? I bought my watch from NY and brought back in my hand baggage

Great guy, had a good deal on the bee, what did you get from him?

AshAP · 12 January 2013, 09:12 AM

I highly recommend Owen & Robinson in Leeds. They have a BB in stock right now. Discounts will vary for each client.
0113 2453773 ask for Matt or Daniel.

Nothing wrong with the Buemi if you prefer Ti over FC but I'd shoot for a RB2 in that case.

Sadly the RB is too chunky for my wrist and taste, ... Hmm I've just looked at it again and fallen love ...yet again

....ahhh the force of the bee is just too strong

Spanby200 · 13 January 2013, 04:59 AM

I am uk based and have purchased from europe Loads in the euro zone so no problems, buemi over Bee IMHO Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1358017156.405309.jpg

boursachi · 16 January 2013, 07:46 PM

love the SB but don't see it as a contender vs the BB imho
the Ti and half-thick yellow insert, indices vs Arabic numerals, just puts it in a different category for me

however the SB rubber, i.e. the diver's is a great fit on the BB

Lukas112 · 17 January 2013, 08:23 AM

Are you still looking ?
I can hook you up with one from Sweden.
New or used, shoot me a PM
I have a used one with extra survival strap and bukle.
Thanks

The more I look at the SB, the more I agree with you... I've fallen back in love with my BB all over again, yes the stick markers just loose a little bit of the AP essence that make the ROO series so desirable!! Just MHO

kilyung · 17 January 2013, 10:37 AM

Colin, if you haven't put a Diver strap on the BB yet. I HIGHLY recommend it.

v5cog · 18 January 2013, 05:40 AM

Mike, after seeing your pics..... I've just ordered one!!!

should be with me hopefully next week sometime ...can't wait
