UK Trusted Sellers

Hi all. I am still loving my GMT that I got for my 40th in September but I am also still craving an 114060 (and a DJ II, and a Daytona SS, and maybe a Hulk, and one day a President...😳).

Anyway, back in the real world, I might be able to treat myself later in the year to my second Rolex. I see lots of people on here getting great deals from the likes of David SW and I think that is the way to go. The problem is, as far as I can see the trusted sellers all seem to be US based and of course that poses a problem for me here in the UK.

Are there any trusted sellers / grey dealers here in the UK? Anybody got any recommendations?

Like I said, I am not buying immediately, but I'm trying to figure out my options for when my watch fund hits the target balance. Also, trying to figure out what that target balance might be!

Thanks all.
Ben

I just bought from Darren Reay, who was great, and who I trust.

Hi Ben

In the north iconic watches

In the South dominic Hackett watches

That's if you want to see anything in stock.

Iconic recently put up their prices but still slightly cheaper than most other places.

Certain models like BLNR and Daytona you may as well get from your local AD, unless in the daytonas case you want an SS immediately you can pay a premium.

Also Official Watches and Watchfinder, but inspect their watches first.

Have a look on Chrono24 - lots of choice from European grey dealers and way cheaper than UK in my experience.

+1 for Darren Reay. I've bought 3 APs and a Rolex from him and the service (and price) is impeccable every time.

Darren Reay

I remember Darren posting here about 12 months ago saying he wasn't trading for a while due to illness

You might wanna check out the Dutch forum, several banners from trusted sellers.
Prices are better than in the UK
