26mm bicolour Rolex Datejust model 69173 on Jubilee 62523 bracelet with classic champagne / baton dial. This watch from around 1988 is in very pleasing condition but there are some signs of age / wear to the dial and bracelet, reflected in the price. It comes with Rolex boxes (the cushion inside is a generic replacement), Rolex UK service card from July 2002, YOUR ROLEX OYSTER booklet, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. The NEW equivalent is now £7,900!
SOLD26mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual DATE in stainless steel and white metal, model 6917(4) on Jubilee 62510 bracelet. Its original “DATE” dial has been replaced at some point by a genuine (but incorrect for this watch) black / baton DATEJUST SCOC dial that was intended for a later model. This circa 1980 model correctly bears a Rolex 2035 calibre movement and as such does not have the “quick-set” feature, which would allow easier correction of the date at the end of a short month. Unusually, it has been fitted with a synthetic sapphire glass that is not by Rolex, to update the older and more easily marked acrylic glass. We don't as a rule approve of such work, but this appears to have been very well executed, it modernises the watch and tests well for water-resistance. It comes with a Rolex box (the cushion inside is a generic replacement), original vintage YOUR ROLEX OYSTER booklet, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. The NEW equivalent is now £6,400!
SOLD36mm Rolex Datejust in stainless steel and white metal, model 16234 with silver Jubilee / diamond dot dial in the later style with larger settings, on Jubilee 62510 bracelet.

In lovely condition, it comes with Rolex boxes, Your Oyster booklet, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. The NEW equivalent is now £8,600!
SOLD36mm bicolour Rolex Datejust model 16233 on Jubilee 62523 bracelet with striking black / diamond dot dial in the newer style with larger settings. This lovely 1996 model comes with later Rolex box, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. The NEW equivalent is now £11,200!
SOLDStainless steel “polar” Rolex Explorer II model 16570 with white “SWISS MADE” dial on Oysterlock 78790 bracelet. It shows signs of only moderate wear for its age and comes with Rolex 16570 boxes, Explorer booklet, numbered green swing-tag and UK Rolex papers from Laing the Jewellers in Edinburgh dated February 1997. The latest, fat-case model now has a new RRP of £7,550 but all the earlier generations of professional models like this are attracting great interest in their own right.

SOLDStunning watch that would look superb on the wrist of a lady or a gentleman! 31mm / mid-size Rolex Datejust model 178248 in 18ct yellow gold with gorgeous, original Rolex white mother of pearl / diamond dot dial on Oyster 73168 bracelet. The watch has also been fitted previously with a custom-made diamond-set bezel and generic glass which are NOT by Rolex. As loyal devotees to the Rolex brand we are not great fans of customised pieces and will not supply such individual 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! This watch has a random case number which means it cannot be older than 2010, although its excellent condition suggests it may be considerably more recent. Comes with a large Rolex box-set, Datejust booklet, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. The nearest NEW equivalent (fitted with President bracelet and plain, fluted gold bezel) is now £25,400!

SOLDEye-catching watch, available TODAY : an almost unworn example from September 2021! Stainless steel and white metal Rolex Datejust 36, model 126234 on Oyster 72800 / articulated clasp bracelet with recently-introduced purple “aubergine” / roman numeral dial with diamond detail at VI and IX. Such colourful and modern dials have been extremely desirable in recent times. This is the latest 36mm model with both boxes, Datejust booklet, green swing-tag and Rolex warranty card dated September 2021. The NEW RRP is now £8,850 but this is one of many specifications which have been increasingly hard to find in the UK, so we are selling it at a premium. Clearly if you can find a new one at RRP then you might wish to buy that instead – but good luck finding one!

32mm Cartier Chronoscaph 21 quartz, case reference 2996 with cream / silver dial. Shows moderate signs of age and general wear, but most noticeable is the hybrid steel / resin strap which is dull and slightly grey from wear, despite cleaning. Our keen price reflects the condition (and in case you are wondering, a replacement strap is surprisingly expensive). Comes with a must de Cartier box, instruction booklet, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. As a chronograph with simple push-pieces (the stopwatch buttons), we recommend that it should not be considered water-resistant.
SOLD26mm bicolour Rolex Datejust model 69173 on Jubilee 62523 bracelet with green pearlescent / diamond dot dial which has been custom-made, NOT by Rolex. As loyal devotees to the Rolex brand we are not great fans of customised pieces and will not supply such parts to customer request, but when our pawnbroking departments are left with one that is already fitted there always seems to be a queue of buyers!

The new equivalent, even with a plain dial, is now £7,900.

SOLDStainless steel Rolex Date Submariner model 116610LN with black dial and ceramic bezel insert on Oyster Glidelock 97200 bracelet. In excellent condition, it comes with both boxes, Submariner booklet, numbered green swing-tag and UK warranty card from John Pass Jewellers in Newcastle dated January 2014.

26mm Rolex Datejust model 69178 in 18ct yellow gold with pretty white / small roman numeral / diamond dot dial. This late-1980s model was originally supplied on a President bracelet, but like many this had reached the end of its life and has been scrapped. We have now fitted the watch with a black leather strap and gold-plated pin-buckle, both genuine Rolex accessories and supplied by them. The watch has also been fitted previously with a custom-made diamond-set bezel which is NOT by Rolex. As loyal devotees to the Rolex brand we are not great fans of customised pieces and will not supply such individual 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! While the bezel shows some wear under close examination, this is an eye-catching dress watch.

SOLDLady's stainless steel Breitling quartz bracelet watch, model A67365 with white Mother of Pearl / diamond dot dial and diamond bezel.

SOLDRare, transitional model, still with UK papers! Bicolour Rolex GMT-Master model 16753 with black dial on Oyster 78363 bracelet. This model was made for a short period in the 1980s, introducing the quick-set date change facility but preceding the introduction of synthetic sapphire glass. Comes with a period-correct Rolex 16753-stickered box set, UK papers dated September 1987 in plastic pouch (with corresponding, numbered sticker) and two Rolex UK service slips from 1997 and 1999. The watch is in very pleasing condition but with some signs of age / wear, including to the glass and bracelet. The nearest NEW equivalent is now £12,200 but this piece’s vintage appeal, accompanying accessories and lack of availability give it a market of its own. Please note that we no longer guarantee these older, plastic glass models to be water-resistant.

SOLDOutstanding example! Stainless steel Rolex Date Submariner model 16610 T with black bezel insert and “SWISS MADE” dial on Oyster Fliplock 93250 bracelet. This Z87xxxx case number watch from around 2007 is in exceptional condition. It has spent much of its life in storage and indeed we know its history from when we first bought it, unworn in delivery stickers, twelve years ago (see narrative below). It comes with Rolex boxes, correct Submariner booklet, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. Demand for such models in the steel Professional range may never have been greater. We are thus selling it at a premium to the NEW equivalent model’s RRP which is now £8,050 – if only you could find one!
This watch has something of an interesting history. In December 2010, Miltons spent £168,000 in a single day buying some 60 unworn, stickered Rolex watches including Sea Dwellers 16600s, stainless steel Date Submariner 16610s, Yachtmaster 16622s, Explorers 14270 / 114270 / 16570 and others. Oddly, all the watches lacked bracelets. A photograph of the watches that we won and the cover of the original auction catalogue may be viewed if you click through the main image. The story was that HMRC had intercepted these watches being smuggled into the UK in parts. Customs had seized the watch-heads and ultimately auctioned them off in a single sale to an audience of international dealers and private buyers in London. Miltons were the largest buyer by far and took home over a third of the entire sale. With the blessing of Rolex UK we were then able to purchase all the new, genuine bracelets required to make the watches complete…but for an additional £40,000+ !

SOLDLady’s stainless steel Cartier Santos automatic bracelet watch, case style 2423 with textured silver / roman numeral dial. In very nice condition, it comes with our own presentation box and warranty card, plus a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. Please note that (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 we would normally advise that anything between – 10 to + 15 seconds per day should be expected on these models, even after a service. Our specialist watch team will be happy to advise you about wearing and winding such an automatic watch.

SOLD26mm Rolex Datejust in 18ct yellow gold, model 69178 with bronze / diamond dot dial on President 8570 bracelet.

In very good condition, the watch comes with Datejust booklet, international Rolex papers dated July 1989 and Rolex UK service slips dated February 2005 and November 2015. It comes in a large, embroidered Rolex presentation box, but we note that the cushion inside is a generic replacement. The nearest NEW equivalent is now £22,600!
