Grey market sellers in the Uk
Hi All
Those of you from the Uk, which grey market sellers do you use? I think I am going to scratch the pelagos (blue) itch but was wondering what sort of discount is acheivable nowadays? My AD doesnt stock tudor unfortunately... Thanks Ps wanting new from somewhere in the Uk, buying abroad doesnt make sense as the cost savings are not that significant. I would consider a used good condition at the right sort of price |

Iconic watches are a pretty good bet and come with the benefit of being a bricks and mortar shop which helps instill confidence if you're not familiar with the grey market. I've had a few pieces from them and they're normally pretty competitive on price etc.

They have a pelagos blue for £2800
Hmm Whats the lowest anyone has paid for one? I would have thought 10% should be achievable or is the itteration still too new? |

I would say blue is too new, and if it's selling well then discounts will be less.
It's similar for the 114060 Sub - £5000 from an AD and £4700 from Iconic. A popular model, so small discounts only. |

Yup
I was genuienly expecting atleast 10% off ad prices Goldsmiths offered me 5% off and option to pay monthly over four years, i would rather do that. Whats the lowest anyone has paid for a blue pelagos? In the Uk? |

I think it just depends on the watch and their stock levels etc - thats a pretty much brand new model. By way of comparison I got my Black Bay Blue earlier this year from them for £1850, which is down from about £2,330 or 20% off.

Iconic watches are good, but look out for the prices, they can be a bit odd! I looked at the Tudor Ranger a couple of months back but found their price was £190 HIGHER than list! Yet they still claim its discounted....

I'd think that would be achievable with a bit of ringing around.

Blowers but they are not the cheapest, in fact they are usually a few hundred pounds more than anybody else, but you know what you getting is right for sure.

"Hi Sal, You can find our Pelagos prices here: http://www.iconicwatches.co.uk/catal...ult/?q=pelagos Best Wishes" so no movement at all unfortunately |
