Blowers Jewellers
Discussion
Another thumbs up for Blowers here, I bought my IWC Portofino from them and they were fantastic to deal with, the only problem I had at first was the huuuge security guy who was breathing down my neck while I looked at the watch...but that was kind of understandable since they'd had a few robberies and I walked in looking like a street urchin not a guy in the market for an IWC.
The sales staff were lovely regardless and Mr Huge wandered off as soon as they realised I wasn't looking for a 5 finger discount.

As a slight tangent if you're a football fan you may know one of the guys who works in Blowers apparently captained Hull at some point relatively recently.
I went in to their shop in Hull when Sunderland played there last year , and they did mention someone but I've forgotten his name , but they did say that he travels to various clubs to show off their wares.Buster73 said:

Ian Ashbee. Dealt with him when I bought my DJ ii a few weeks ago and found the whole experience to be flawless. Can't recommend them highly enough.Another seamless experience with Blowers, very professional, courteous and watch in lovely condition with only 2 very hard to see, minor hairline scratches, one on clasp one on side of lug, and this was on a worn second hand watch. They also have a fantastic selection and it works very well with both shops. Absolutely first class, I will be using them again when my circumstances allow.

Did you visit London or Hull?I have not bought anything from Blowers so it is good to hear from those who have and indicate that they are good to deal with.
However on the pricing issue, I can say that their prices are at the high end of all the major watch dealers. I have heard that they are keen to deal and will discount so perhaps the prices reflect this expectation.

I've dealt with blowers on 2 occassions now, and both times I recieved great service
One deal involved a trade, where based on photos and my description they offered £600 pounds more than another well known dealer, and on actually viewing the watch in the flesh they gave me another £50 quid on top of their original offer.
The second deal was me swapping 2 watches for one, + cash my way, and again I came away feeling that I'd had a very fair deal...

The site is having a server upgrade and once you use the new site its very impressive and will become more intuative. The site needed to be optimized for Tablet and Phone and if you type anything you want into search from Rolex to Blue dial it will find keywords and become very intuitive.
