I passed there last week, not a friendly place, far more people looking at the window, than ever inside.

That is known to be a very expensive shop and not pleasant service.

BUT, also in the Arcade is Armour Winston, I got my Daytona there last year, very, very helpful, very good price and I would really recommend James that helped me.

A little know fact about Burlington Arcade.
It's the only place in the UK where it's against the law to whistle and you can be arrested.

The only crime I can see appears to be the asking prices

Nice window display! London and HK are probably the two largest market for pre-owned Rolex watches - HK number one and London number two.
