Buying a Rolex in London
Good afternoon guys,
I will be in London for 3 days at the end of November and I am struggling to find details of Role ADs in London. I already own SD and GMT II and I would like to add a 116200. Would you please recommend me the best places (ADs or not) to buy a Datejust in London. Many thanks in advance for your help, cheers, R. |

Good luck and have fun on your search. New Bond St. should give you a great deal to check out. But don't look for dicounts.
Let us know how it turns out, dP

If you are in the Bond St area, a little diversion into the Burlington Arcade could be interesting.

I would try Ernest Jones. I spoke to them recently and they told me that they could give 15% on gold and 10% on TT and most others except sport SS.

You might get a discount on a ss datejust... As far as I know it is only the ss sport models that is hard to get discount on in the UK.

also you will get about 10% vat back, unless you buy it on the airside, which will be a full 15% vat refund.

You may not believe this, but I was in London last month and stopped into Harrod's to look things over. I priced out a TT GMT IIc and was very surprised to find that their price was as good or better than the Greys here in the states. And no tax. I came so close to adding it to the collection, but just could not justify it at that time. I am still kicking myself! Give them a look. You might be pleasantly surprised!. I wish I could remember the name of the gentleman that showed me the timepiece. He was an older gentleman about 55-60, thin and very kind and patient. Here is a thread I posted after returning. http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=94825

Don't forget that you can claim back the 15% VAT (Sales tax) at the airport when you fly back home.

Also there may be a small fee associated if you ask for cash instead of the refund back to your credit card. Happy shopping! |
