Icon5 Is WatchClub.com reliable/reputable when it comes to buying 2nd-hand Rolex?

Have any of you dealt with them? I'm thinking of buying a second-hand Rolex from them and just wanted to check if they're all above board.

Thanks!

Yes - a bit expensive IMHO, but very reputable. It's a family business on Old Bond and Danny is good people....always stop in to see him when I'm back in London.

I bought from WatchClub a few months ago they were decent and the watch was a vintage in very good condition. As others have said expect to pay very top market price, but depending on the watch and how long they have had it, they may discount.

Depending on what you are looking for Watchcentre in New Bond Street is worth a visit as well, vintage wise they had a White 1680 and Double Red in the window today, although I only looked from a distance so not sure of their quality.

Happy hunting

Definitely reputable, however like the above posters, I've always found watchcentre (Watches of New Bond St) a touch keener on the pricing, and have bought a few from there..

Watchclub are a good outfit, I wanted to see a hulk which they had just sold that day and I asked if I could just see it as I hadn't seen many and they said no not even a quick no touch look, which is how it should be.

I bought my Sea-Dweller from them. Expensive, but it's in great condition. Overall I'm happy and would recommend them.
