I have used Tempo and Time and The Swiss Watch Company for two used/unworn Rolex models that I couldn't get from am AD. Both highly professional, both recommended - if you have to go grey.
Watchfinder were nice to deal with, would haggle, but were too high priced even after negotiations. They did give me two top value offers on watches I wanted to sell and made the process very easy. |

Try some independent Jewellers, I’ve used Watches Of Whitby they are a very good store, Avanti Jewellers, Legacy of London are good and very friendly .. I’ve noticed lately watchtrader and Watchfinder prices reduced ..
Good luck in your search ..

You could look up watchfinder.co.uk.. have found their prices a little
On the higher side but they do also have physical store locations in central London if you wanted to just have a chat and find out more. If you happen to be in London then watch dealers in Burlington arcade near Piccadilly station are an option. |

The Burlington Arcade watch dealers generally have eye-watering prices for no reason other than being in a heavy tourist footfall area. I would avoid them unless you don't mind leaving the store without your shirt.

I'd go for watchfinder as they are offering a price match currently.
Find the cheapest from any online dealer and they do match it ( I've done it before). Their watches are truly in mint condition, have 2 years warranty and should you trade it back in they pay top money if the watch came from them previously

Maybe it's the expensive location they have, they have to offset |

Burlington Arcade dealer prices are high probably as many tourists wander around there plus their rents must be high. never wanted to step into a BA dealer as they never look very welcoming.
In terms of price negotiation Watchfinders might be the better option. |

Watchfinder for reassurance of what you are buying or through an AD that sells second hand.
Buy the seller not the watch. |

I've had great experience in the past with 'Global Watch Shop'. They operate both on-line and in-store based in the London Silver Vaults.

I've dealt with Watchfinder in the past (bought and sold) and, while they haven't been the most competitive in terms of pricing, they are generally very professional in their dealings with clients and you have the added assurance of being a larger outfit so any QC issues with the watch can be dealt with professionally. I'd say it's worth going into a branch (the one in The Royal Exchange is where I've had experience) if you can.

I have had great service from The Swiss Watch Company and Official Watches.
I have also bought from Watchfinder and was pleased with the watch and price paid.
