Hi Guys,

Not sure if this has been asked before but I am after a brand new Rolex Sea Dweller Deep Sea - Am I likely to get Discount anywhere in London? Only really tried the Watch Gallery in White City but they are the biggest bunch of jokers I have ever come across

You could be lucky and score 5% to 10% somewhere in London. Plenty of competition, but there are always enough buyers in the city that'll pay full whack, which means you have to work a bit harder to get a bit off the crust. Maybe try a dealer that's not in the 'big smoke'. You might have more joy.

Physical stock and a discount of 15%.


i have no links with this company nor used their services however it is the best discount I've found on the net as I'm looking at a Sub with date or a preowned Sea dweller. Hopefully someone will be along with an informed view of the company.

Bought 3 off iconic, and also dealt with them when the late Johnny Marr worked there...No problems at all, most of their stock comes from Europe and is named and dated, but if you give them a call and ask if they've got one unnamed, if that matters to you, they'll tell you if they can supply one with your name on the papers.

Because they're mostly dated you might lose out on a month or two of warranty, but for the discount I'd say its worth it...

Another vote for Iconic, bought a diamond dot midsize Datejust for the other half's birthday last year and the service and comms were excellent. OK, the watch didn't arrive in time for her birthday but that was my fault for not ordering it early enough. The watch came from an Italian dealer.

It wouldn't concern me about the lost month or two on the warranty but whats the deal with having your name on the papers or the downside having sourced a watch from abroad?

In my experience, no downside. The warranty is worldwide, and the warranty is with the watch, not the named person on the warranty anyway.

The OP asked about new watches, presumably from an AD, are watches Iconic are selling brand new?

They do new and pre-owned. The DSSD at -15% is brand new.

When you say "late Johnny Marr" do you mean no longer works there, or dead?

Passed away middle of 2012 roughly.
Was easy to deal with, seemed a nice guy.

Iconic was Ancient and Modern, always the same physical high st shop though.
Good guys.
