£6,999 Stock number: 82-15-002Collectible Submariner with gorgeous, original dial! Stainless steel Rolex Submariner Date 16800, the “transitional” model with synthetic sapphire glass, matt black dial and quick-set 3035 calibre movement on Oyster Fliplock 93150 bracelet. This is a desirable model, especially when fitted with the early dial that does not have white metal surrounds to the hour indices. With a 7.1m case number this one dates from around 1982, a year or two into the model’s short production run. A very nice example of an interesting version (about whose future value many will speculate), it comes with old-style boxes, 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.

£8,899 Stock number: 52-11-055Fresh from service at Rolex UK! Bicolour Rolex Date Submariner model 116613LB with blue dial and ceramic bezel insert, on Oyster Glidelock 97203 bracelet.

£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.

Most of the bicolour models you will see are in steel and yellow metal, so this steel and rose (or pink) version is rather distinctive. Has both boxes, Datejust booklet, both swing-tags and international Rolex warranty card dated December 2016. Having spent much of its short life in our pawnbroking safes, it is in brilliant condition but for some superficial scratches to the glass above the eight o’clock marker, which are hard to see thanks to the intricate detail of the dial beneath.

£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.

£6,899 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!
£4,999 Stock number: 82-13-00436mm bicolour Rolex Datejust Turn-o-Graph model 116263 with champagne dial on Jubilee 63203 bracelet.

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.

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.

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.

£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.

£4,399 Stock number: 52-09-00736mm stainless steel and white metal Rolex Datejust TURN-O-GRAPH model 116264 on Oyster 72200 bracelet with grey-black / baton dial. Comes with Rolex boxes, Datejust booklet and what appear to be Japanese papers dated December 2005. A new equivalent was last listed in Rolex UK’s 2016 price list at £6,000 – but production has now stopped, arousing interest in the model. Red detail to the dial text, seconds hand and date display are distinctive on the modern Turn-o-Graph. The watch is in fine condition but (as is common on this model) there is some superficial wear to the bezel detail. Please note that while it features a time-lapse bezel, the Turn-o-Graph remains essentially a dress watch. For more robust purposes we would recommend one of the Rolex Professional range, perhaps a Submariner.

£13,999 Stock number: 52-11-056November 2018 watch, with its warranty card! One of the most desperately sought after models, available TODAY, UNWORN in some of its delivery stickers, with green swing-tag and NO silly nonsense about the warranty card being withheld*! Rolex “Pepsi” GMT-Master II model 126710 with black dial and that distinctive, two-tone bezel on Jubilee 69200 bracelet. We are aware that main agents have hundreds of outstanding requests for this model which at the current rate of supply will not be met for decades. Having paid well over RRP for it ourselves, we are in turn selling it at a significant premium to the list price. Ask for our Rolex-trained specialists Phil or Paul to discuss this watch with you. Comes with original boxes, GMT-Master II booklet, green swing-tag and international warranty card dated November 2018. The notional NEW RRP of this model is £7,150 but if you try to find one, prepare to be disappointed.
* 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.

The NEW RRP of this popular model is £6,550 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 small premium. Clearly if you can find one at RRP then you should buy it. Good luck!

Upon very close inspection the dial shows some minor signs of age, but this is an outstanding “entry-level” Oyster Perpetual. Please note that we no longer guarantee these older, plastic glass models to be water-resistant. A NEW Air-King now costs £4,750 but in truth a closer new equivalent may be the plain Oyster Perpetual 114200 at £3,850.

£6,599 Stock number: 52-09-020Stainless steel Rolex GMT-Master II model 16710 with original black “SWISS – T < 25” dial on Oyster 78360 bracelet. The 16710 was available with different bezel options but this one has just been fitted with a “new old stock” version of its signature red / black insert, known as the “Coke” bezel by collectors. Having a case number in the S4xxxxx range, this will be a circa 1994 watch. At that time the plain Oyster bracelet was a standard option and the “S10” clasp code on this one denotes October 1994 manufacture, indicating that it is original to the watch. Showing few signs of its age, it comes with its original GMT-Master booklet, numbered green swing-tag, Rolex boxes and our own warranty card. The NEW equivalent is now £6,450 but these earlier models have increasingly attracted a following of their own among collectors.
