Hey,

Am planning a trip to London sometime mid June.

Any recommendations on watch stores to visit?

In addition, does anyone know how prices in London compare with Singapore?

Looking mostly at AP and Rolex

thanks!

Selfridges, Harrods, Marcus...

'Poundland' is worth a look if you want a bargain.

Have a wander down Bond Street and Burlington Arcade, Plenty to choose from.

If its AP your looking for rest assured you will not find anywhere better than Marcus on Bond St

If you are non resident in the uk, by claiming the VAT back you will find prices pretty competitive.

Start at Selfridges then stroll down Bond st and enjoy all the beauties at Wempe, WofS and Marcus. I try to every couple of months.

If you are looking for an AP in London the place to visit is Marcus watches in new Bond street, they have one of the biggest (if not the biggest) AP collations in Europe, excellent customer service.

Prices are comparable to Singapore but you can't get generous discounts in London, however you can get the VAT back if you are not a UK resident.

If you are looking for generous discounts you have to travel north of London.

Just to clarify, prices will only be competitive after VAT tax off?

Def marcus , wempe and WofS , was in selfridges over the weekend and very poor selection of APs not sure has to with robbery happened there recently ..only small display class. Marcus has them all FC diver etc ....

Wights Watches on the IOW have discounted unworn AP's in their inventory. Worth looking on their website. Owner is Darren Reay who is well know in the business although I have not had any personal dealings with him.
Isle of Wight would be 2-3 hours from London near Southampton. you would have to catch a ferry so allow for a day out should you want to visit.

Or Darren could post it to your hotel. Hes like a trusted dealer here for UK APs and his prices are fantastic.

When i was looking/buying a few years back prices only got competitve once VAT was taken off. Now not so sure where exchange rates are as to whether that is still the case.
