hi
I tried frazer harte in Kingston ,,,,,,,,,,,but they would not move from the RETAIL PRICE.£6050, LOOKED ON WATCHFINDER .CO.UK AND FOUND MAY 2013 UK WATCH. WITH STICKERS BRAND NEW FOR £5750 so brought that. DEALERS DONT SEEM TO MOVE. I UNDERSTAND THE MAX THEY CAN GIVE OFF IS 8%.
GOOD LUCK.

Try chrono24, few on there from £5300 up...Or search any of the UK grey dealers, unless you must go AD, then try some independents who are more likely to negotiate.

Fraser Hart have been told maximum they can do on SS is 5% and 8% on bi-metal.

Spend about £40-£50 getting a Signet card (if you search on here you'll find all the info you need). Pop into your nearest Earnest Jones and get a no hassle 10% discount.

Before you do that I'd locate an EJ with one in stock, as they are losing their Rolex AD status, and I believe within the next month or so none will be Rolex AD's.

cop414 · 28 June 2013, 06:47 AM

Can't help you with the purchase in London but I can welcome you to TRF!

This does seem to be the case. Only a handful of EJ ADs left now.

Mystic · 28 June 2013, 07:51 AM

Bought mine at Fraser Hart Brent Cross. Paid £6050 - tried to haggle but they wouldn't move on the price. A friend bought his at Goldsmiths and managed to get a reasonable discount by paying with gift cards/vouchers.

AK797 · 28 June 2013, 10:03 AM

Time 4 diamonds have a Hulk for 5.5K. Legitimate sellers with office in London.

MatchkeY · 1 July 2013, 07:01 AM

Thanks for the info guys, will follow up on your suggestions.

Went to Harrods, Watches of Switzerland and Rolex (Knightsbridge) today.
All quoted £6050, all said they had no stock and would have to either come back, or go on a waiting list.

Am quite close to a EJ, so will pop in there soon.

Thanks again for the warm welcome,
MatchkeY

Nino has one in Watches of Bond Street for £5650. Maybe room for negotiation.

BZA · 1 July 2013, 07:50 PM

Welcome to TRF MatchkeY, sent you a PM on an AD to try.

Ernest Jones in Brent Cross still has theirs until the end of the year but I am not sure what the selection is like

AK797 · 9 July 2013, 09:42 AM

Saw one for £5100 at Il Tempo.

MatchkeY · 29 July 2013, 03:39 AM

Hi guys, quick update on this thread.

Picked up the Hulk from an AD suggested by a user on this forum , got a small discount.

Couple of quick snaps : http://imgur.com/a/oMZN1

BZA · 29 July 2013, 08:03 PM

Looks awesome on you bud. Is this your first premium watch or is it joining an existing stable? Enjoy!

MatchkeY · 29 July 2013, 08:24 PM

First premium watch, though I do have a small stable of automatics, couple of seiko's.
