Hi All! Been thinking of getting a Jaeger LeCoultre or Panerai for a while, with my birthday coming up i stepped up the research through number of pre-owned watch stores in London as well as new ones in Watchgallery etc.

But then realised that current euro exchange could help me save a stack of money by popping over to Paris and buying it there. www.thewatchquote.com seems to suggest that i could save almost £1000 on a Grande Reverso.

Do any of you know great Euro based pre-owned watch retailers online or physical stores in Paris for example? Has anyone recently purchased a watch in Europe, any recommendations?

Thanks!

A

Try Iconic watches in the UK. They source from Europe.

I just paid £1860 for a Tudor heritage bay. £2330 in the shops.

Got my Panerai from Iconic last month, good saving over retail in the UK without the need to travel, let them do the hard work!!
