There's a couple on the Clerkenwell Road (can't remember the names, hold on... It's http://www.antiquewatchcouk.com/) There's another one more or less opposite which always as a reasonable selection, although they are smaller.

If neither of those float your boat, get thee to Hatton Garden (a couple of minutes walk from Clerkenwell Road) and hunt out a place called The Heart of Hatton Garden. It's chock-full of little stalls, many of which have used watches for sale, there's always a good selection and they're always happy to do a deal.

I picked my SMP up there, good condition but scratched bezel, no papers, box and manual for

You are best to buy away from London. Most dealers of used prestige brands in Central London charge ridiculous premium figures! :rolleyes:

Hi Watcher, I'm always happy to expand my knowledge of places to blow the kids inheritance - where do you buy outside of London?

Might be useful, although the prices for the shops in London will be laughabley high as they can cater for those with the big city bonuses and well to do rich folk:

1. Portobello Road - Notting Hill Gate

http://www.portobelloroad.co.uk

Many dealers - all vintage makes. You really need to spend a few hours here as you need

to go into all the arcades to see what is around and some of them have a lot of avenues

to go round. Some dealers are regulars others are not. Be careful and it pays to know your

stuff.
