Would any of our London based members be prepared to view a watch for me in a West End used dealer at relatively short notice during the next 3 days please?

Please PM me if anyone can help.

Nothing in it for you other than:

1. My eternal gratitude
2. Giving you the pleasure of some major enabling
3. I will put your name in lights post-transaction on TRF!!!

Imminent new incoming Roger??

conkers · 26 June 2016, 11:33 PM

Absolutely - Brexit bonanza, all being well at least 3 pieces!

mps354 · 27 June 2016, 02:20 AM

Very nice gesture and should be an incredible incoming, can't wait!

nyc2la · 27 June 2016, 02:24 AM

This is going to be fun for all! 😀🍻👏

andyol1966 · 27 June 2016, 02:42 AM

Look forward to seeing the incomings. I will be in London in a few weeks time, otherwise I would have gladly helped you out

topcat30093 · 27 June 2016, 03:17 AM

Dam!!
A week ago I would have been able to help out, as I was there myself collecting my new addition.
And knowing Roger's watch history, I have no doubt that rootbeer7 will see some great pieces..

ukflyboy · 29 June 2016, 08:25 PM

Ah, nice idea, I'm looking at picking up a used piece in London (if the guy will ever follow up on my email/calls!) so might have to try the some. Nice to see there is such a helpful community out there!

malarky_hk · 30 June 2016, 01:53 AM

Roger since you're posting this in the Patek section - I'm sure it will be spectacular. Can't wait to see.

ELITEVIDEOGAMES · 30 June 2016, 05:23 AM

I am looking forward to this.

On another note, Roger how is that AP EP Tourbillion working out? Daily wear?

KarlS · 30 June 2016, 05:52 AM

Just picked up 5130G for $30 000 after VAT and the AD now trying a Terraluna on me!! Too big, too expensive!

Wow, NIB for $30k? That is insane!

thomaspp · 30 June 2016, 08:23 AM

Any recommendations for trusted dealers in the UK? Would very much like to inquire about prices on a few pateks, and if the price is right, make a few purchases myself. best

You mean this one - actually a JA not EP? Getting a lot of wrist time at the moment. After my London trip it may be relegated to the safe for a bit!

codecow · 30 June 2016, 11:43 AM

Holy smokes Roger that's amazing!

ELITEVIDEOGAMES · 30 June 2016, 12:29 PM

Sorry yes I meant JA. Such an awesome piece. It's a shame you don't see many AP dress watches on the forum.

Glad you are enjoying it. Congrats on the incoming too I can't wait to see them.

conkers · 30 June 2016, 01:34 PM

Thanks for the comments. Yes AP dress watches don't get the credit they deserve IMHO.

Hairdude1 · 30 June 2016, 02:37 PM

Congrats in advance!

UK prices are insane right now. 5167 on strap 13500USD retail.

ukflyboy · 1 July 2016, 12:55 AM

Just not so cheap for us. But it is ok, we will try take solace in the fact that our self-generated uncertainty is giving all you good non-British folk some cracking deals!

I imagine they are sold out of a lot of stock in most ADs no?

Yeah good luck finding the heavy hitters, 5167/5711/5712 I would imagine they are impossible to find at the moment...

WatchingAustin · 1 July 2016, 02:05 AM

I'd take a 5167 or 5164!!! Too bad I don't know anyone in the UK :(.
