Check out the trusted sellers from this site in the who's who section and contact one of them for a better deal than you will probably get at an AD, particularly for a 116610LN. My understanding is that these are such good sellers and so popular that they don't get much of a discount.

Edit: Sorry, I just noticed that you are in the England. I was thinking of the trusted sellers in the USA. To order from them might negate any savings because you could get hit with import duties when bringing the watch into the UK. I am not sure if there are any trusted sellers working out of Europe.

When I was looking for a gray dealer in EU, there was only one guy and his prices were the same as my AD... not worth the bother.

Plenty of deals to be had with Gray Dealers via Europe if you shop around.
Iconic watches and various others all do the same by purchasing form Europe and adding a little on.
Good deals in my opinion. Try Chrono24 too.
I saved over £1000 off the MSRP recently doing this.

Welcome to this fine forum. Depending where you are there are a number of places. Blowers jewellers, Iconic watches, Watches of Distinction, Dream watches. Pretty much all will be less expensive than an AD. However if you are looking for the AD experience then that's the route to go.

Iconic are very good, if their price is much better than an ADs then I'd go for it.
