I've not had any dealings with them but they seem to have a good selection of watches are pretty competitive prices. I would be interested to hear any feedback as well.

Simon,
After contacting various dealers/retailers I bought an Omega Seamaster from them last year. They are based in Hull and being on the IOW the deal was done over the phone. Very knowledgable, helpful and efficient. Nothing adverse to report.

[Mr MoJo]

Cheers Cpt Sterling,
May be worth giving them a call tomorrow.
Now do I want a Sub with a black dial and bezel or blue dial and bezel ??? decisions decisions

Pleasure Mr M, I think the classic black suits the sub a treat . I understood the blue face was available in bi-metal config. only (could be wrong). Considered an LV? www.watches.co.uk seem to also get good reviews, so worth a try (Soovy has experience with this outfit).

[Mr MoJo]

Yep, the blue is only available on the bi-metal, which is what I want

Been trying to decide on a watch for ages, narrowed it down to a bi-metal Sub, just can't decide on the black or blue now.

eta, what sort of warranty did you get from Blowers Cpt ?

Enjoy the experience, whatever you decide best of luck. PS. I spoke with Dominic H on here when I was looking at an LV - nice guy. In the end I bottled it and went for a GMT-IIc.

I bought a Rolex Submariner from them last year. They were a pleasure to do business with - knowledgeable over the phone, the watch and all docs turned up on time exactly as described.

Well spank me with a wet kipper !!

I went out today to see if I could compare the black / blue face and bezel bi-metal sub, before contacting one of the afore mentioned 'pre-owned' 'unused' dealers.

Sat in my local Watches of Switzerland for about 45 minutes, decided on the blue, asked for their best deal (as you do) and they weren't that generous as I'd expected, deal was a bit less that retail but not significantly. The blue Sub they had was sold and they said they could get another within 7 - 10 days possibly. No where near the un-used pre-owned prices from internet dealers. (understandably) Not a problem, I wasn't expecting them to get near really.

Walking back to the NCP, happened to come across Crouch the Goldsmith (saw the Rolex sign outside and was surprised as the other local Crouch's told me they weren't Rolex AD's and tried to sell me a Breitling), so I thought 'what's to lose', checked the window and there it was. Bi-Metal blue face/bezel Sub-date marked up at £5730 (as is every other retail bi metal Sub).
Popped in to have a chat, tried it on, managed to negotiate a serious discount and walked away with a brand new, shiny, credit crunch bargain
at more than 13% discount. Less than I was going to pay for a pre-owned example.

Today was a good day.

Thanks to all for the advice during my search. I was seriously surprised to end up buying a watch from a high street authorised dealer at the price I did.

Congratulations, MoJo. That's a beautiful watch. Bi-metal blue face sub is my favorite Rolex piece. Nicely done.
