BQW is in Radlett now. I've sold to them and was very happy with the deal.

I can also recommend Official Watches, Dino and Luca are good guys.

The Swiss Watch Company is Chiswick High Rd is another place worth checking out.

I know there is a list of trusted sellers, but unless I'm missing something, they are all based in the US. Apologies if this is not allowed, but are there any good and trusted UK dealers?

Iconicwatches Blackburn. I have used them three times since 2016 & they are very reliable. If they don’t have the watch you’re looking for they will source it for you

His videos are good.

For the last year though when answering questions about the market bubble, he has been very defensive and putting it all down to haters who want to see the market dip out of jealousy or envy.

In his update this week, he seems finally ready to admit that the bubble has burst as he is telling his viewers that basically unless it is a stainless sports watch, then he will be buying for under list.

And for the first time ever, he didn't call it a "buyers market".

Does seem a good guy though and his prices are not crazy for a gray dealer with overheads.

BQ are in Radlett now, bit of a trek for me but glad to hear they are a selling option. Also Mark Worthington, Bloombar, Hackett watches.

Iconicwatches Blackburn I have used them in the past & they are really good, if they haven’t got the model that you are looking for they will source it for up, also you can visit their shop in Blackburn’s city centre to collect the watch

Why not try your luck with a few ADs first? I picked up a BLNR as a walk in just before Christmas.

Really?! Yet here’s me (and no doubt countless others) 2 years into a wait for the very same watch

I wish I had your luck!

Trotters is one big question mark to me and when in doubt…..move on.

The gold shop, in Bradford. Probably the cheapest in the UK. Been a watch dealer for 30 years. Reliable

It might not be as long as you think with an AD. My local (independent)AD took around 20 months for a BLNR- I was told BLROs had all but dried up, but there’d been an increase in BLNRs. And, customers had been turning them down. Prior to getting mine, I’d been in Goldsmiths and they were talking about 18 months wait.

I have dealt with BQ and would deal with them again , very efficient / helpful .

Not bought from this guy, but I have seen his content on Youtube which he has been doing for years....

His prices are good for a grey dealer. Probably because he is a one man band with no store overheads.

I was interested in a trade with him, after 5 messages in one day until nearly midnight I advised him to wait a bit ..
He’s come a long way since his early days, and correct his prices are very competitive .. his Daytonas are very reasonably priced .. but I imagine there’s a big group that rotates some watches around, he’s quite buddy with GMG , Trotters , Bloombar ..

Yes, these guys all tell me they can source any watch and it has to be thru this grey network.

Mark Worthington Jewellers, Wilmslow.

Subdial, London.

Watches of Distinction, Lymington.

Bramlys, Salisbury.

[Halifax Daytona UK]

Be careful , don’t buy a watch from these back pack brokers who either work from home ( Phil Reid) or just rent an office space on a daily basis ( GMG ) or a flash office with limited assets to back it up (trotters)

Buy the dealer then the watch , if anything goes wrong with the watch you need to be able to go back to the shop.

Gold shop in Bradford.

2023 Batgirl , box and papers , new , £13500

I have used LBJ watches in London. Found them very easy to deal with, honest & straightforward
