I live in north Wales where you guys get your pre owned watches from. Don't mind traveling thanks

sdh1980 · 16 March 2018, 01:42 AM

You could always order from Watchfinder. Next day delivery and 14 days to return if not happy

tyler1980 · 16 March 2018, 01:59 AM

WF... thats pretty much the main dealer everywhere in the UK

Sandpit · 16 March 2018, 04:48 AM

Hackett and Blowers are two I know of. Never used them but Dom from Hackett has a great reputation (on pistonheads).

AK797 · 16 March 2018, 04:51 AM

What watch are you after as this might have a bearing on where to advise looking?

WF seems to charge more of a premium than other grey sellers, am guessing due to their monopoly and size of inventory on the grey market?

Devildog · 16 March 2018, 05:55 AM

Watches of wales comes recommended.

I know it’s the wrong end of Wales for you but worth a look

Hi Tim,

Have you considered talking to Mike Wood at the old watch shop Southport Cheshire........

He is an amazing guy , Please give him a ring and discuss what you want , he has been selling and buying Rolex for 25 yrs

Google Mike Wood @ The Old Watch shop .

scooba · 16 March 2018, 05:59 AM

Miltons Pawnbrokers

Haywood Milton , Occasionally gets on here another smashing guy who is very helpful , Again have a Google buy with confidence

SeaDweller50 · 16 March 2018, 06:06 AM

Stay away from any central London Grey. You pay for their rental space.

Martin is a gent.

Steve36Efc · 16 March 2018, 01:11 PM

Miltons are worth a look,prices are reasonable compared to other dealers and they have a good rep. I’ve never purchased from them myself but have sold a couple over the last year. They have 3 or 4 shops in the Chester and Liverpool area.

Giles at Watches of Distinction, Lymington - I've been dealing with him since 1999.
I've never had any problems and have referred many friends, colleagues and family, also with no problems.
He knows his onions with all things ROLEX and is situated near the New Forest, Beaulieu Car Museum is nearby as is Bournemouth / Poole, so for me a long weekend is well spent.
I've also dealt with Mark Blower @ Blowers in Hull and Watchfinder when they only had a small unit in Maidstone in the 90s, but to be honest I've found Giles to be more 'keener' on prices than these 2, he can also source NOS and 'grey' unused/unworn market pieces from ADs.
Hope this helps and good luck.
