Discussion

I’ve found Andrew in Leeds Rolex boutique a very decent bloke to deal with. Bought a couple off him and a mate has had 4/5 from him.
Thanks- is that the one in Prestons in Leeds city centre?If you don’t mind me asking- was it the ‘more challenging’ items to get, or window display stuff?
I’m only asking because I’ve got 2 of the kids turning 18 in a few years and would like to get them something special to celebrate and keep , but hate the grey market!! (Like the majority of watch appreciators and collectors I guess!)

I’ve recently called into David M Robinson in Altrincham to register my interest in a new watch. It remains to be seen if the watch materialises but the guy I dealt with was great. We talked about watches I own/have owned, what I was looking for etc & I got the impression he would give me a call if they got the watch in stock.

Yes, Prestons. I’ve had a BLNR and Hulk off him, my pal, a Sub, BLNR, Pepsi & Daytona, think he had some other ‘normal’ stuff as well mind. To be fair this, for me at least was a year or two back, before the current climate of nonsense.If you don’t mind me asking- was it the ‘more challenging’ items to get, or window display stuff?

Never used them myself however this place has a top notch rep. The MD, Heywood Milton, is a well known and trusted contributor on the TZ forum.

Thanks for all the responses so far, hugely helpful. I’m pretty much needing the watches for 12-18 months time, I was very lucky and given a Coke GMT for my 18th birthday which I cherish, and would never part with. So I’d like to do the same for my kids. I’ve been lucky and got myself other “ in- demand” watches , but have had to resort to the grey market and would like to be a “normal” customer this time!!!

Pick what models you would like and go into AD and tell them what you want and when you want them, as said if you get 2-3 at a time they might listen better.
Surely if they’re SS sports models it’s only going to get your card marked as a “flipper”? Especially if you’re a new customer at that AD...funinhounslow said:
