I've bought 5 Rolexes from him in the past 2 years and I definitely wouldn't go anywhere else.
As it happens since I spoke with him, my (more) local branch (30 mins drive) has called and offered the same. I have opted to drive the 8 hour round trip purely on the way I was spoken to on the phone - good service goes a long way in my book, and should be appreciated. The guy is opening his shop up on a Sunday whilst usually closed - what a gent. Pics to follow !!

I thought it was odd that John was opening up on a Sunday, when they're normally closed - that really is going the extra mile for you, Dan.

I guess the ringing endorsement of your telephone dealings today is that you're going to travel extensively to see him.

I've got several Goldsmiths outlets near me - Merry Hill aand Birmingham etc., but always go to see John in Torquay when I get a new Rolex.

Can't wait to see your pictures of the LV that I actually tried on!

Dan,

Only wore it for a week on several fishing trips and for rock climbing. It did fall in the dock one of the days, but was rescued by a dredging vessel that happened to be in the harbour that day. Apart from that, it's mint

IMO you are now dealing with the best manager in the Goldsmith's dealer network in the country.
John is a 1st class person.
