Where should I go in London to find the Comex SD's, Milsubs, Newmans and Bonds?

I found a tiny little shop next to the Liverpool St Station. In the window was a SD4000, DSSD, 16750, and an orange-hand Explorer II. Not bad, and I wasn't even trying to find a shop.

It's called Carr's. It's very tiny, and adjacent to Liverpool St Station, on Liverpool St. It's about 50 yards from Bishopsgate. Just leave the station form the Liverpool Street exit, turn left and there it is. I think there's a shoe store right there as well.

They had a Deepsea, but it was not there this morning.

Whoah.. Thought I died and went to Rolex heaven

Does anyone know if purchasing any used watches from the sources listed in this post you are able to gain VAT tax concessions if taking the watch outside of the EU. I'm not sure if i) used goods have VAT applied and ii) if any of these shops participate in a tax return scheme?

Puffy · 29 March 2010, 06:50 PM

It is insanely expensive - a vintage GMT (1968) starts from £5600 and a GMT II (1998) starts from £4500.
