UK Forum Sellers?

[ali53]

Since joining the forum i'm addicted! Seeing member's collections and pieces has given me the push to possibly add another Rolex to my small collection (only a BLNR so far!) but you guys are definitely inspiring!

Anyway, whilst search through the classifieds, I've noticed that they're most all USA based sellers, and if I commit to a purchase from the US I fear I may be stung quite badly on VAT/Duty/Shipping etc by the time its on my wrist. Are there any UK based sellers that are selling on this forum that anyone can recommend? Looking for a Submariner Hulk or Rootbeer as a possible contender to add to the family

Sincere thanks in advance all!

I have some great connections that I can happily recommend and put you in touch with. Pm if you need some help.

I am in exactly the same situation.

If DavidSW is US based then as the OP said we would be stung with 20% VAT plus other charges.

Maybe, maybe not

Speak to the man.

Spoke to DavidSW and he's happy to ship to the UK but its the VAT/Duty which is the biggest issue for us! Can't even fly across to visit the man!

Hi all, sorry to ask a question which is probably repeated over and over but I've had a good look through the site using the search feature, classifieds, who's who etc and i'm not much further forward so please don't shoot me down.

Which UK sites (& forum sellers) are considered trusted and reputable. I've had a bad buying experience from C24 buying from the US and keen to buy from a UK TS.

Thank you in advance. Appreciate any feedback offered.

The big names like Watchfinder, but you’ll pay. Happy to help if I can.

Thanks Root, i'm happy to put the leg work in. I just need to know which UK forum sellers and UK sites are the most reputable places to look?

I bought my Daytona from watchfinder and tbh I thought they were excellent, that being said I really want to buy my next from an AD again but really couldn’t fault watchfinder I used them because I wanted it right away yeah paid a slight premium but was happy to pay it to get an unworn watch within a couple of days

Start with the pieces you want first and then take it from there. Use the internet and then contact those sellers. If you don’t get the answers you’re looking for, move on.

Cheers Slim, excellent choice! Enjoy your Daytona. I knew about watchfinder & had already checked them out, tyvm all the same. I just wanted to check them all to compare prices, reputation, after service etc. Just a bit of due diligence on my part so I could be sure i'm getting a competitive deal which is right for me but doesn't appear to be many at all in the UK.

Once I know who they all are, I'll know and will never have to ask again. Until then my quest continues.

Thanks again Root, i've done the above already. I'm onto the 'move on' bit which in my case was 'move on' to asking advice on TRF to see if there are other UK internet platforms or TS I'm not aware of.

I know what I want and i've used the internet to check. I'm not sure if your being sarcastic or genuinely offering advice.

Anyway, ce la vie, thanks for your input all the same.

I certainly didn’t mean to come across as sarcastic. Tell us who you’re proposing to purchase through and the model you’re buying and you’ll get plenty of feedback.

Watchfinder, Watchclub and Chronext, all big and pricey.
