does anyone know if the negotiate on the price of the second hand watches they stock?

[MarcelM6]

Yes, but obviously depends on the watch.

[jonah35]

Yes but depends on watch and how long it’s been in stock

[ChrisPackit]

The last watch I bought from WF recently was a relatively cheap Tag Heuer around the £1500 mark, and they shaved off £100 without me even asking, so I would guess you could get 5 to 10% quite easily.

Is there anyway of finding out how long it's been in stock

[MarcelM6]

Don't think you can get the length of time. Also think it matters less than the actual watch.

Some of last years 'hot' watches e.g. Rolex GMT BLNR look like they are starting to slow as the new GMT 'Pepsi' was announced in March. They were on a 10% off promo last Sunday. No 0% finance on the sale watches.

Could also be that year end is coming up, squeeze on cash .....and so on.

I've bought from them a few times, usually did the deal via E-mail and phone. Just ask for a discount and see what happens.

In my experience they are a bit more expensive than other watch retailers. watchclub, watches.co.uk, secondtimearound, blowers - there are more.

I am pretty sure if you go into the brands/ models and don’t sort by anything that lists them newest stock to oldest.

I'd work on the assumption that the stock is newer than the last time a scooter riding gang last visited the store

That's based on age of watch from what I can tell, not how long they've had it in stock.

I've bought and sold 4-5 watches from them over the last 2 years, I think they are starting to look over priced these days, I'd be looking for least 10% off the price if buying from them.

I have bought two watches and always had 10% off as a matter of course, but as said depends on the watch.
