Are there any places in the world where Rolex can be purchased, genuinely, for less than UK costs?

Thoughts on a postcard please....

OR

Would i be better buying from watches.co.uk?

Look on the various Rolex forums classified section and wait for a watch you like to come up in your area. Go and see it, if you like it arrange for it to be checked by an AD and save yourself a chunk of cash.

Really that simple? - I never appreciated it could be!

What kind of saving could be expected on a Submariner (16610) ?

Many Thanks

Gibraltar - Red House on the high street. Fully accredited dealer. Only a 5 bob taxi ride from the runway and its all sterling.
Also, a litre of branded Scotch for £3.
Nearly got my Rolex there but the shop was closed on the Sunday of my visit.

If you want a sub, watchfinder.co.uk are a good company, I have used them twice and you can barter.

I know what you mean - we popped over from France two years ago for a look - bought nothing but still queued for 45 mins to get out!

I have used them about 5 times over the past few years and cannot recommend them highly enough...
