Marcus of London

Guys
I had to call in to Marcus of London today to drop of my BB so it can be sent to Le Brassus for some TLC ! i was treated to the most amazing AP eye candy that ive ever seen, they has almost every model in stock on display, alond with some of their extremely rare Marcus LEs
just though i'd share with you a couple of shots of them ( sorry for poor quality)
enjoy

ps the rose gold one is on Stingray strap !!

Great photos, I'd like to visit Marcus store next time I'm in London, that'll be April when I do the Marathon. I like the shagreen strap on the rose gold, how did it look in person?

The strap on the rose gold was stingray, super soft, unlike any other strap I've tried, looked great in the flesh, but they had another rose gold Marcus ltd on black Horn back and i think red stitching, now that looked very special,

Thomas your so right, they had virtually all models except the GC, but in the vault was the one off 1899 pocket grand complication Union glashutte by AP, the most complicated watch movement ever created, alongside Marcus's exact replication with Marcus and AP logos, they were on offer for the pair at 4million pounds, he has the largest private collection of vintage APs anywhere in the world, they very kindly gave me their Marcus book illustrating every model that he owns, as well as all the ones he has loaned to the AP museum..
That man knows APs better than AP!!
Awsome place to visit

Sadly the white one is DLC, but yes... If it were ceramic, it would be extremely tempting ! That one was 7 of fifty !!

I have bought several APs and RMs from Marcus, and they are fantastic to deal with. Sunil is the store manager and has done some amazing deals for me and some of my friends. If anyone wants a referral for special treatment, drop me a PM.

While I do like the Panda, that first B&W is a show stopper! That is the true Panda and looks awesome!! You got to try on some great pieces, thanks for sharing with us ;)

I have to say that Panda would be a top shelf combo with the car in your avatar

I never even thought of that, but it would suit my car perfectly as even the badges are B&W ... Sadly no funds at the moment to do so... But never say never!
