Yes. I lived in SW England for 4 years (‘15-‘19) during the height of Rolex really becoming crazy crazy and nearly every small AD in smaller city questioned me very hard on if I was a resident or tourist. Most even wanted to know if I lived in their city and nearly asked for proof! Think about stimulating the grey economy. Tons of choices in London. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

From my experience it will be next to impossible to get a Hulk in London with no purchase history. And even if you buy other stuff - London has just too many high spenders to make it worth while for an AD to ‘gift’ you the opportunity to buy a hulk.
The smaller ADs in the more rural areas around London are much better, but are being consolidated lately so are becoming fewer. Also, they will want you to be in their ‘catchment’ area to sell you anything hard to get. Also, be careful with the chains - WOS for example share their back end systems, so going on a list at a WOS store and a Goldsmiths store will likely hurt your chances. Or multiple same names within the WOS group. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

[QUOTE=jamesthejeweller;10230613]Lol, London Rolex ADs don't sell Rolexes, they're just a bunch of 2nd rate sales people with Napoleon complexes. Buy in Germany or Spain if you want any chance of getting what you want.
I don't know about Spain but here in Germany the situation regarding SS Rolexes is dire, actually non-existent. As of last week none of the three big ADs here where I live (one I have small history with) had any SS watches. Same for Berlin after telephoning around. This isn't just because of Xmas, it was exactly the same situation in summer! Luckily I'm not desperate for a new Rolex! |

Might be wiser to ask which barbers to use (and avoid).

Willing to go grey? It’ll be a lot easier. Watch Club in Mayfair have a few nice examples.
