Yes, they are good guys but prices on the high side and they deal with more upmarket brands now like AP and RM.

I find it incredibly annoying when I see POA prices. There’s no need. Just price the damn thing.

yes. Unless its a super rare piece that is not available anywhere, POA is a waste of time.

Is there a specific model you’re looking for?

slate1234 · 10 February 2018, 08:43 PM

they are about two miles away from, I ended up useing mark worthington

I bought my SDC4000 from them a few years ago. I went to their by-appointment-only office in central London. They gave me a good trade-in price for my SubC and a good deal on the SDC.

Apart from the guy keeping me waiting while he was on the phone arranging to get a window replaced on his Porsche, no complaints here.

If your looking for value, buying from a Grey Dealer in the UK you won't go wrong with Iconic Watches in Blackburn. I have purchased a T/T Rolex Sub 116613LB with the Blue Sunburst Dial in 2016 & last year I upgraded to T/T Daytona 116503 with White Dial & Gold Sub Dials & in May of this year will be upgrading again to the Daytona with the White MOP eight Diamonds Dial. As I live in Dublin Ireland where there are no Grey Dealers I fly to Manchester & get two trains to Blackburn. The staff are so professional & knowledgeable it is a pleasure doing business with them & you won't find anywhere cheaper in the UK. I already have my flight booked & am looking forward to the trip & my new Watch. If the Watch you are looking for is not in stock they will source it for you. It usually takes about a month. Their prices are really competitive

Thanks for the reply’s guys I’m buying an Explorer ii I’ve ended up going with a AD that’s not to faraway it just seems to hard work dealing with official watches waiting hours for email reply’s i just got feed up in the end yesterday.
I’m paying full retail for the Explorer but they are taking one of my other watches in part ex and they have given me a really really good price for that so very happy ��

Most AD have got these and this is probably the best way to go. Congratulations

Thanks to be honest I’ve only had to pay about £200 extra than I would have paid if I’d have sold my part ex privately and used a grey dealer so it’s a no brainier really, and at least I know the watch is 100% and I will have my name on the paper work etc.
