£2,899 Stock number: 60-16-075Gent’s stainless steel Breitling Navitimer automatic chronograph, model ref A23322. Has the black dial option with silver sub-dials and brick-link bracelet.

£2,499 Stock number: 52-15-007Bicolour Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust model 1601(3) from around 1970 with silver / baton “pie-pan” dial. This name reflects the dial profile, its chapter ring edge dropping away from the central surface. The early style of Jubilee bracelet with folded metal links is correct, though it has been fitted with a 62510H service clasp at some point after 1990. Originally this watch will have been fitted with the softer, acrylic glass but it appears more recently to have been fitted with a third party (non-Rolex) synthetic sapphire glass. Typically these are harder wearing than the originals, though a vintage purist might wish to revert. Because of its age, we offer it with only a ONE year warranty and ask you to note : (1) we no longer guarantee these older models to be water-resistant (2) this 1575 calibre model correctly has no “quick-set” facility for changing the date at the end of a short month, so the wearer must turn the hands through 24 hours to advance the date (3) the bracelet and dial both show signs of age and wear (4) while running well, there is slightly more noise from the movement rotor than you might expect from a modern watch. Ask one of our Rolex-trained specialists, Phil or Paul, to discuss this watch with you. It is priced very reasonably to reflect all the above and comes with a generic presentation box, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them.

We have lightly brushed the bracelet (which appears to be original to the watch, having date code G in the clasp and 593 end-links), but left the exterior of the main case and the glass showing light signs of wear as when the watch came to us. The bezel insert also shows moderate wear but appears to be original, the “pearl” dot having discoloured as expected. The new equivalent is now £6,550 but a watch like this increasingly has a market of its own.

£9,799 Stock number: 52-14-011UK watch, available today with BOTH swing-tags and NO silly nonsense about the warranty card being withheld*! Stainless steel Rolex GMT-Master II model 116710BLNR with black dial / blue and black ceramic bezel insert on Oysterlock 78200 bracelet (which still bears some of its delivery stickers). Nicknamed the “Bruiser” or “Batman” GMT by fans because of its distinctive bezel colours, this watch is in superb condition with negligible wear to the glass. It comes with Rolex boxes, GMT-Master II booklet, both swing-tags, bezel protector and UK warranty card. This shows supply was direct from Rolex London to a named individual in December 2014. Typically, this means the individual had some connection to the company. The NEW RRP of this popular model is £6,850 but this is one of several steel professional models that can now be very hard to obtain new, so we are selling it at a significant premium. Rumours are rife that production of this model (introduced in only 2013) may cease and that a different version with new movement will be released at the imminent 2019 Basel show. Almost inevitably, values have continued to soar. Clearly if you can find one at RRP then you should buy it. Good luck!
* While their clients have to wait months or years for certain models in the stainless steel Professional series of watches, some Rolex main agents are now stripping new watches of delivery stickers, keeping the numbered swing-tag and refusing to supply the warranty card until a year or more after sale. This is an attempt to hinder the premium resale or “grey market” in the watches which their very lack of supply causes.

£2,299 Stock number: 70-12-036Gent's stainless steel and white metal Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust model 1601(4) from approx 1966 with silver / baton dial and Jubilee 62510 bracelet. In July 2017 this watch enjoyed over £1,000 worth of service work at Rolex UK through their main agent, Goldsmiths. We note that the dial appears to be a recent service dial and the bracelet, too, appears to have been replaced in the late 1990s. Because of its age, we ask you to note: (1) we no longer guarantee these older, plastic glass models to be water-resistant (2) this model correctly has no “quick-set” facility for changing the date at the end of a short month, so the wearer must turn the hands through 24 hours to advance the date (3) while running well, there is slightly more noise from the movement rotor than you might expect from a modern watch. Ask one of our Rolex-trained specialists, Phil or Paul, to discuss this watch with you or to demonstrate how to set it. It comes with the Rolex UK service card and Goldsmiths receipt from 2017, our own presentation box & warranty card.

£6,399 Stock number: 50-12-113Bicolour Rolex Date Submariner model 16613 with blue dial and bezel insert on Oyster Fliplock 93253 bracelet. This P97xxxx case number watch from 2001 is in fine condition with only moderate signs of wear. It comes with Rolex boxes, Oyster booklet and our own warranty card, . The NEW equivalent is now £10,350 but this previous generation model is proving increasingly desirable in its own right.
SOLD
£6,899 Stock number: 52-12-003Gent’s full size / 40mm bicolour Rolex Yachtmaster model 16623 with popular blue dial on Oysterlock 78763 bracelet. In generally fine condition, it comes with Rolex boxes, Yachtmaster booklet, numbered green swing-tag and UK papers from David M. Robinson dated August 2005. The glass appears to be a generic replacement, not by Rolex. This is reflected in the price. The last NEW RRP for this model was £9,250 while the closest new equivalent in the current range is now much dearer still!
SOLD
£4,999 Stock number: 82-13-00436mm bicolour Rolex Datejust Turn-o-Graph model 116263 with champagne dial on Jubilee 63203 bracelet. This 2004 model is in good condition but we do note signs of wear to the bracelet and bezel detail. It comes with Rolex boxes, Datejust booklet and our own warranty card. A NEW equivalent last appeared in the November 2016 Rolex UK price list at £8,200 . . . and prices have generally risen since then! Please note that while it features a time-lapse bezel, the Turn-o-Graph is still essentially a dress watch. For more robust purposes we would recommend one of the Rolex Professional range, perhaps a Submariner.

It comes with Rolex boxes, Daytona booklet, red swing-tag, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. The NEW ceramic bezel models now have an RRP of £9,550 but waiting lists are generally closed and they are commonly being sold on the secondary market for over £16,000. This has made the outgoing 116520 an extremely attractive purchase and it remains in its own right one of the most sought after models in the range.

£12,499 Stock number: 52-12-016UK-supplied Daytona, with box & papers! Stainless steel Rolex Cosmograph Daytona model 116520 with white dial on Oysterlock 78490 bracelet. Note the “thin hands,” correct on this model for its first few years of production. Has Rolex boxes, Daytona booklet with bracelet adjustment leaflet, both swing-tags and UK papers from David M. Robinson dated January 2006. It is surprising to see the papers dated so late for a P42xxxx case number watch, probably made in the year 2000, but Rolex agents sometimes did hold special pieces back for their biggest clients etc. It is in excellent condition with only light signs of wear to the bezel. The NEW ceramic bezel models now have an RRP of £9,550 but “waiting lists” are generally closed and that model is commonly being sold on the secondary market for over £16,000. This has made the outgoing 116520 an extremely attractive purchase — especially if found with papers — and it remains in its own right one of the most sought after Rolex models.

£2,499 Stock number: 12-89-079A bit of colourful Rolex fun! Bicolour Rolex Oyster Perpetual DATE model 1500 / 3 with blue / baton dial and a generic blue lizard strap (not by Rolex). This started as a 1970s model 1505 / 3 but a new, replacement “44xxxxx” mid-case and dial was provided by Rolex themselves within the last 20 years. These early models did not have a “quick-set” facility for changing the date at the end of a short month, so the hands have to be turned forward 24 hours to advance it when needed. Please note that (1) the dial and hands show minor signs of age / wear and (2) we no longer guarantee these older, plastic glass models to be water-resistant. Comes with our own presentation box and warranty card.

Our Rolex-trained specialists Phil or Paul will be delighted to demonstrate.

The watch has also been fitted previously with a custom-made diamond-set bezel, NOT by Rolex. As loyal devotees to the Rolex brand we are not great fans of customised pieces and will not supply such parts on customer request, but when our pawnbroking departments are left with one already fitted like this there always seems to be a queue of buyers! Comes with Datejust booklet, UK papers from Watches of Switzerland dated June 1999 and a later Rolex box. It is in very pleasing condition, the bracelet showing only moderate signs of age / wear. The last time a NEW equivalent was listed in the Rolex UK price list (with just a plain gold, fluted bezel) it was £20,800…and prices have generally risen about 5% since then!

£7,299 Stock number: 52-11-040Stainless steel Rolex “Pepsi” GMT-Master: 3175-calibre model 16700 from around 1993 with black dial and blue / red bezel insert, on Oyster 78360 bracelet. Comes with Rolex boxes, GMT-Master booklet, undated international papers and a Rolex UK service slip from April 2009. It would appear that the hands have been replaced at service, but the original SWISS-T<25 dial has been retained, now with beautifully mellowed tritium in the hour markers. There are a few, light signs of age and wear but this is a highly desirable model, extremely wearable and among the cheapest in the UK which still have their original papers.
The range of NEW GMT-Masters now starts from £6,450 but these older models have increasingly developed their own following in recent years. The halo effect of the almost-unobtainable new “Pepsi” 126710, which on the secondary market is currently selling for around twice the new RRP, should not be under-estimated.

Please note (1) this is NOT sold as a water-proof watch (2) such Cartiers are essentially very stylish DRESS watches; the automatic movements inside them are rarely perfect time-keepers and can seem noisy when the self-winding rotor turns (3) we would normally advise that anything between – 10 to + 15 seconds per day should be expected on these models, even after a service. Please ask our specialist watch team to discuss this watch with you and demonstrate how to wind it manually.
