Watch shops in London

Post by neil8fletcher3 »

Any recommendations for a watch shop in London for a good browse? Preferably one that sells used models and might have either an explorer ii 16570 or an explorer 114270. The closer to the main tourist bits the better so I don't have to drag the Mrs to far

Look up Burlington Arcade and you will find a number of very expensive watch shops selling Rolex and other high end watches.
http://www.burlingtonarcade.com/
https://www.daviddugganwatches.co.uk/
http://www.vintagewatchcompany.com/

The first URL will give you the address but it's close to the Ritz.

I hope this helps.

Watches of Switzerland always used to sell some pre-owned, but not sure if that is still the case.

There's a shop towards the top end of Bond Street that specialises in pre-owned and cheaper than Burlington. There's also a market place somewhere behind Bond Street station that specialises in pre-owned, but I have never been sure where that is. Maybe someone here knows?

Thanks for the link and map. In the end we went to Harrods where they had some great watches interesting to see them in real life, my partner liked the Tudors so that might be a good future option. We looked in Seiko where I decided I prefer the old style logo for the grand Seiko range. I was also very surprised by the prices of some watches there, they had a sarb017 for £600! More than double what I paid. I went to watch finder to look at Rolex explorers bit disappointed they didn't have the models in store it said they did online.
