and the advice about buying a pre owned is spot on, blowers will have a sellection of preowned watches in perfect condition with all the paperwork etc, some will not have been worn.
you will save a bit of cash and have a perfect watch, that you can register as your own and insure it get seviced etc..
if you buy a perpetual watch buy a winder so when the watch isnt being worn it will by wound and ready to put on.

Rolex Collectors ⌚ Buy & Sell, by Wiseblood on Nov 14, 2007 14:52:04 GMT 1, i blagged 25% off a new breitling from an AD, which brought the price below that of the internet sellers. Graunted im in the north so i guess sales of watches are a lot less than that of say london, so i have more room for negotiation

The flipside is that a Rolex is the only watch you can buy that will actually appreciate in value over time. Don't just be sold on the name though. Try to get a feel for the style she is looking for.

Rolex Collectors ⌚ Buy & Sell, by paulypaul on Nov 14, 2007 19:19:36 GMT 1, Anyone got a Submariner with date? Thinking about getting one of these. Spoke to a pal about his and he reckons it's not as bad a timekeeper as might be reckoned. Another pal swears by Panerai. I said 'Yeah, but James Bond didn't wear a Panerai...'

I have a Seadweller (with date) and it's has always been a piss awful timekeeper. Dig deep and get a Patek.

Seeing as it an Offically Certified Chronometre I am not sure why yours is not accurate. Why not send it back to Rolex? If it is not keeping the time they will sort it out for you no problems.

Anyone see this a while back ?
MANUFACTURERS of the world’s most expensive wrist-watches have been paying record amounts to buy back their own watches at auction.

They are both pretentious brands that offer a serious lack of quality, I would go with Jaeger Le-Coulter or even better a fucking G-shock! I've got four from Japan and they are definately the fucking balls -- nothing better IMO!!!

My favorite watch (and one that I travel to Asia with) is a Nike Triax watch. Good for running (if you're into that kind of thing). The Omega is the first nice watch I've ever owned. I think I have a Seiko calculator watch somewhere!

paid £ 78.00 for it, took it to a main dealer and was told to insure for £1000 replacement value. 100% genuine. Even sent the serial number to Omega and they dated the watch for me
Worth a look. some bargains are to be had from there.

Rolex Collectors ⌚ Buy & Sell, by plymman on Nov 14, 2007 23:07:42 GMT 1, I'd definately recommend just going into shops. As has been suggested, you'll get 10-20% off without too much trouble, plus you'll get to try them on. I shopped around for my rolex but ended up buying locally anyway in the end, it may sound stupid but when you're spending out on a long term watch it has to feel right on the wrist.
BONGO - Mine loses about 1 sec per day, my seamaster loses 6!
