AP in London

[P2725TMB]

Can someone kindly point me to the stores that carry the widest selection of AP in central London?

Thanks, I will give those a go. Thinking of getting a 44 RG.

My AP route, get off at Green Park head to Wempe and through to Selfridges. Plenty of other watches to sate anyone's appetite along the way.

Then off to Harrods, WoS only stock AP at Canary Wharf.

There are not many AP watches in London currently brand new, as all stockists are awaiting new deliveries earliest late January.

There are some RG 44s in Selfridges though, despite there display being half empty. The main guy in there has told me that so many people have come from abroad through the summer and autumn to pluck up all the watches.

You think Selfridges have one? I called every week for two months during the summer and they did not. I really doubt you'll find one in London unless very lucky and it comes in just before you arrive.

Try Harrods next week, you may be lucky, in selfridges ask for manjit Haifa any one can help you it will be him, remember selfridges are the watch gallery so do have other stock.
The RG 44 is a cracking watch
Good luck

Cheers

Happy hunting!

There are a few unworn ones on chrono24. Luxewatches are a good outfit. Also try Paris Jewels, Time4D and Pacha if they really have one now.

I'd call today, I'm 99% sure they had one 2 weeks ago when I was last in there.

Can I ask if anyone has any experience of dealing with Time 4 Diamonds at SE1 London?

They are hit and miss and bullsht quite a lot, they did with me this summer over getting a RG 44 but if they actually have one in stock might be worth checking it out. I'd prefer to deal with Luxe, they have an unworn 44 RG altho price is close to retail but you can get a bit off I'm sure.

Thanks. T4D are offering a very good deal on what I understand is a brand new unused RG44, albeit without the 'shrink wrap' plastic in place. I've not seen the watch itself, only pics, but it seems ok. Just trying to make sure all is as good as it seems before I commit.

Make sure you check the warranty date so it is truly unworn and new, and make sure there are no marks on it, I'd really rather have the plastic on it. If the price is very good that might not mean all the watch is that new so be cautious.

Thank you, good advice!

Was in London today and just got back. Got to say I was so disappointed in the watch room in harrods. Very poor selection of Rolex and AP almost no steel sports rolexs at all think they only had explorer 2 and AP was no better think they only had the steel diver, was looking forward to trying on a steel 15400 but they only had a gold one :(

Yup it's pretty barren, at least WF usually have a few SS Rolexes you can at least try on, APs not so much.

That's where I fell in love too, hurry on down! Must be first one in since July but no discount.

I think that Marcus also carries AP.

Margulies is one of the most profilic AP collectors and has supported the brand for a very long time.

Not going to be selling AP for much longer. Not sure if they even have any stock at all now.

Called about a 15202 a while ago and they said they weren't going to be getting any more AP in.
