Icon11 where to buy preowned Rolex in the Uk

Good Morning Chaps,

I was wondering if you could help me, I'm looking for a reliable rolex dealer that I can either purchase locally (lancashire) or online. Watchfinder is a shop I've used many times, I just feel they mark up the prices drastically e.g. 4700 for a 30 year old 61223 two tone datejust.

Any thoughts would be highly appreciated.

Kind regards

John

I know of a very well priced North East based grey dealer called @time_trader_ltd on Instagram. He's local to me and very trustworthy.

Try Blowers, never dealt with them but seem to carry a reasonable stock.

I have used Ian Blowers before three times. Amazing service, speak with Richard.....

They have a store in Hull (Yorkshire) and London (my appointment only).

I know several people that have used Hackett Watches out of London. I’ve spoken with Dominic several times personally. His website has some stock but he can also source stuff.

Blowers is another shout but they’re fairly pricey.

My brother recently bought from the Swiss Watch Shop in Manchester and he was very pleased with them.

Iconic Watches, Blowers, but they're well known and they know WF prices so they are probably similar. Guardian of Time may be cheaper.

Another vote for Dom. You can haggle, within reason, and he’s 100% trustworthy.
