UK Online shop

Hi,

First post.

Trying to find a recomendation please for an online seller for Rolex in the UK. I was looking at various US sites but the 20% import tax to the UK kind of puts me off :-(

Thanks

Try watches.co.uk really straight up kind of guys there.. You know the prices in the US are cheaper, so expect to pay more here. They sell used and new watches on that site.
Unless you taking a holiday to the states soon, kill two birds with one stone

I would go down the route of Uk sellers rather than an on line shop,they would be cheaper and all good sellers with a good reputation. PM sent

Also try watches of distinction in the UK

As was mentioned above , a holiday in the US could be paid for depending on which watch you are looking for.

Thanks for the recomendations. Most of the sites mentioned I've already looked at so it's nice to know I've been going the right way. I've also just registered with TRF so hopefully I'll get the oppertunity to see anything private coming along. The other question though is what is a good starter watch/model for a beginner? Something pretty basic, automatic, that I can wear every day, that won't cost more than my car but which is nice and reliable: Not too much bling ;-)
