Can someone recommend good UK based vintage rolex dealer

[Joe Public]

Hi

As above could anyone recommend good used Rolex dealers in the UK. I'm looking for a sub with sapphire crystal and tritium dial etc

Thanks in advance

Try Dom Hackett at Hackett watches. He has many connections and has some listings on his website. Blowers is also well known and has a few shops. I find their prices a bit OTT though. There’s also Burlington Arcade in London with a few shops worth looking at. Their selection is impressive.

Thank you very much, I've already looked at Hackett and Blowers.

Does anyone have any recent experience of ukspecialistwatches. I have found some negative feedback about them a long time ago but nothing recent.

[Sandpit]

No problem. It’s probably worth emailing Dom if you know what you’re looking for

Depends on what happened, but usually negative feedback is no go for me

Blowers and Burlington Arcade are incredibly overpriced BUT their selection is wide. I have a few people I have bought from in the past (all UK based) and they have always been superb. They have a modest stock selection but can source:
Andrew @ Vintage & Prestige Watches
Giles @ Oakleigh Watches
Marc @ M&J Watches

If you speak to them, say that Len pointed you in their direction and they should look after you.

If you need anything else please DM me.

I’ve used a gentleman called Malcolm Gilllan. He’s on chrono24 but I’ve done numerous face to face. Happy to put you in touch.

I can recommend Austin Kaye on the strand. They have a small selection of Rolex from time to time.

I’ve sold to them as they are based locally but never purchased. OK to deal with and I keep an eye on their website. I’m certainly no expert on vintage watches so I can’t really comment.

I have bought a few watchee from Mark Worthington in Wilmslow, if you are NW based.
Always been happy with him so far.

Try a shimmy over to Ben Wright vintage watches, he currently has a nice 70's red sub.......

Try the oldwatchshop. I have never brought from there myself but have heard good things.

I find his pricing overinflated too.

Marc @ M&J Watches

One of the good ones and would have no problem recommending him from the dealings I have had with him

[Hendrikus]

I can also vouch for Hackett Watches and Oakleigh Watches.

[Numberjack]

Another recommendation for Marc at M&J watches

[thesharkfactor]

Tom Coll in Glasgow. Best grey in the country..

I’d highly recommend him!!

I’ve bought from him numerous times before, I know the man (who is also a member here) completely trustworthy, a true gent and without naming names... well, let’s just say he’s a bit a legend in the Rolex world

(Not a lot of stock on his site but drop him an Email as I’m sure he’d be able to help).
