Bloombar Watches UK

Hi all, can anyone share if they have used Bloombar watches located in Marylebone London, when purchasing a watch?

What was the experience like, from enquiry to viewing and then purchase (if you went ahead with the sale)
Any concerns
Any experience after sale?

Any particular reason for using them? I have no experience with them, however I personally use Watchfinder. Ed Brown is the guy I usually deal with, but whole experience is very good no matter who the sales rep is.

Not used Bloombar, however, I can highly recommend Oakleigh Watches, of Norwich. Their website has high quality pre owned Rolex, and othe luxury watches, serviced if necessary, tested for water resistance etc. I can only speak as I find, and have found Giles to be outstandingly honest, and a pleasure to do business with.

I bought one before. I guess they can have better description of the watches status. Got the missing links, booklets etc and obviously Watchfinder and I shared different meaning of "papers".

I also checked the reviews links are always missing. So not just me....

Yes, I have dealt with Bloombar for many years, fantastic and easy to deal with,
Speak to Eddie or Toby, both are Diamonds.

Totally legitimate and reputable business. Have had many chats with them over the years and more recently sold them my DJ41. A colleague also dealt with them and sold a number of watches to them.

Of any used dealers out there, they would be my primary choice to purchase or sell.

They are in a different league to Watchfinder, in many ways.
