Current Speedmaster Price in UK?

There was a lot of press after Brexit and the ensuing devaluation of the GBP that some watches were much cheaper in the UK. My wife will be there on business and I was wondering if this was still true. Are prices still lower in the UK? How much for a new Speedy Pro in the UK?

RRP of Speedy Pro here is £3520, so circa $4500 US. Though even I can get 10% off that price easily and I am a terrible haggler. I imagine a decent negotiator could get more.

I am probably worse than you and got mine from Fraser hart for a smidgen over 3 grand. They are bnib on the net for approx 2950 (Swiss watches direct). I think they are great value at around that price.

Thanks all! This is very helpful!

Can the same be true for brands such as Rolex?

I don't know what Rolexes cost round your way. To give you an idea, the OP 39 (which I have my eye on as my first Rolex) is $5300 at today's conversion rate, the vanilla Sub no date is $7000 and the SS Daytona is a tick under $12k (though getting hold of one from an AD in London might be a challenge). You won't get the same sort of discount as you would on an Omega though, if any at all.
