I purchased a vintage Rolex Sub from an unpleasant dealer which I fortunately managed to get my money back from. The reason I demanded a refund was because of badly inscribed numbers between the lugs. I passed this very store and spoke to this very man ( David ). I asked for advice & info. I'm afraid to say he couldn't give a shit. At the time the shop was empty & he was doing nothing but standing behind a counter. Bearing in mind I had the intention of buying from here to guarantee a safer purchase when dealing with vintage. I'm always amazed at their lovely jolly persona on UA-cam then one on one you see their true colors. I would not step over this guys front door ever again.
@@antonybaker5352 Those watches are heavily restored, so I think there also over priced, but these people have been in business for many years, so they know what there doing!
I was there in December visiting from Canada, I found the like for like prices in this shop about 40% higher than what I pay in Canada. Ostensibly prices were in pounds what I would pay here in CAD.
Unfortunately they have to pay for the crazy rent in the arcade. A lot of idiots who doesn't know prices and "trusts" the watch as there's a physical store
Thanks! The Daytonas were much more beautiful in the earlly seventies. The fonts and numbers finer and more objectve/elegant. Now, it is all gloss and bling.
Collecting 1960s Omega, Rolex and Heuer black bezel tritium sports pieces, so this is a treat ! Nice ! That store is a museum. I walked hundreds of times on Piccadilly on London visits but never stopped. Very keen to visit one day.
Went through the Burlington Arcade the weekend before last, the biggest crowd was definitely in front of this shop. Though I was there more to look at the vintage Speedies in Somlo.
To say this was a fantastic video is an understatement !! What a treat to see this phenomenal line-up of exceptional watches, thank you for sharing your experience with us !! Very pleasant owner too, one can really feel the passion he has for the product, next time I‘m in London I‘ll definitely pay them a visit ♥️
This is a great shop to just LOOK, their prices are around 40-50% more than what you can get from other dealers as they are paying a lot for rent. As a vintage collector I went in once and I didn't bring my loupe and I asked for one and they said they don't have one. Which I know is a complete lie as a loupe is the most fundamental tool to assess a watch, let a alone a vintage where there are so many things to check, I grew up with a father who's a watch dealer for 40yrs.
Fantastic video! I’m a huge GMT Master 2 fan. I’d love to own a Coke some day , hopefully from my birth year 🙌🏼 Apart from the Rolexes, I noticed that your Seiko blends in so well with the rest of the watches. It’s the best Datejust homage! If I didn’t know about it, I’d definitely think it’s a white dial, smooth bezel DJ. I love this video and all the watch content on this channel. Keep up the good work 🙌🏼
Thank you! It is the perfect place to buy your birth watch. Nowhere else do you have such an inventory! It would mean a lot to us if you could tell them that you saw our video when you go visit them 😊
I love the red, green and yellow Stella dials on those DD. If I won the lottery I’d pay a visit and but all three. Also I’d take the owner of the shop out for lunch. Such a knowledgeable guy.
I always walk down The Arcade looking at amazing highly priced watches and the new bespoke stores. Unfortunately wearing expensive watches in London is dangerous as gangs target you for them. Three robbers just sentenced to 10 years each for robbing and physically blinding a guy for his Rolex, irony was it turned out to be a fake watch!
I too have visited this shop and spoke at length to "David". I had a SS vintage Submariner for sale with proof of ownership. Of the three dealers in the Arcade and others in London, David seemed to me to be the least sincere and honest. I too would never visit this shop again or do and business with "David". My advice, avoid at all costs.
Was there 2 weeks ago , nice display Price are way too high. Lady was not interested in talking to me …. I did not even ask to see pieces i was interested in … Found another shop near Harrods , people where real nice… look and did not find what i was looking for at a price that was good for me.

@@rogerb1964 doesn’t surprise me.. have you googled this shop? I would rebrand if I was asked to manage their store and sell stock.. They are essentially a tourist trap.. He is clearly a douche bag, with poor style, he kept talking about fashion lol.. Rolex must cringe when they see this nuf nuf attempting to represent their brand..
Reading some of the comments and watching twice slow Mo .I get it ok Mr Silver is a very friendly man to a bright young chappie ..yes yes. Plugged his book 2 as well . STRANGE FELLOWS SOME ARE UMH UMH UMH UMH
I am pleased that vintage does not interest me at all. In the 1970s, I complained to Rolex about poor workmanship: part of tomorrow's number was visible in the date window; the bracelet lugs moved and rattled and the accuracy was disappointing.
Sorry but the Blueberry GMT is a fake -it was never released for the UAE military or signed with a Cartier dial. FAKE. Rolex never made that dial, look it up
You can see the same watch in the OAK collection, one of the greatest collections of unique watches of our time. So that should tell you that it is real
@@TheWatchScientists That means nothing, Rolex never released this blue bezel for the GMT. Thats a fact. These bs stories about it being some service bezel that was given to a few RSC`s is total bs. Its fake, simple
How does that mean nothing? What makes you think you have better information than a professional curator that puts together one of the greatest watch collections of our time? We haven’t commented on this yet as we simply don’t know and not everything is always transparent especially when it comes to Rolex history. Seeing it in the OAK collection is for me enough proof that it is a real watch. If you have any convincing argument beyond „Rolex have never released this bezel“ i have no reason to believe otherwise
Their stock is constantly changing and I’m sure that watch has been in the shop at some point. Remember it’s a shop and watches are sold and not a museum!
@@picassoboy52 Some of us paid attention in school and/or had literate parents and friends. We don’t all need Google. Presumptuous of you to think otherwise.
Either into vintage or not,me no into,load of old overpriced junk,remember the legend statement, Rolex make the best $700 watch in the world, Everything else is just marketing &hype.
great respect for the host he speaks such a beatiful english. and mista youtubist comes with expressions like like . go home and read how to speak properly semiilliterate
Why? What if they don't like that brand. I collect Patek Philippe and currently have 30 pieces both new and vintage and they may not be as rugged as a Rolex, the craftsmanship and the movement are not even in the same ballpark

from Spain

Thank you! You should pay him a visit! If you could tell him you discovered him through us that would be very appreciated 😉
Thanks a lot for this video! It was a pleasure listening to David talking about these amazing pieces!!
Thanks for the comment, even editing the video I didn’t get tired of hearing him talk about the watches. He knows a lot!
Went through the Burlington Arcade the weekend before last, the biggest crowd was definitely in front of this shop. Though I was there more to look at the vintage Speedies in Somlo.
you did a great job man! Very cool to listen to David and beautiful shots of the watches
I enjoyed the video and the amazing watches. Thank you!
Glad to hear that! Thanks for commenting

One of, if not the best watch video I have ever seen. Good ratio of close-ups.
That means a lot, thank you for watching! 🙏
I’m a long time watch collector and this store is the snobbiest overpriced store I have ever been too. Never buy from them
Great video until you go on their website and see the prices….wow…..surprised they sell any
Fascinating video. Thank you! Will need to check out this store next time I'm in London. Incredible collection and clearly a passionate owner.
Thank you so much! If you visit the store we would appreciate it if you could let him know you saw our video :)

What a gentleman. His shop is beautiful. I'm going to look up his shop to hopefully buy a vintage Rolex.
There’s no better place 😉
whoever polishes this mans watches is a masterof his trade. those edges and chamfers look crisp. they look new!
I’ve never been in this store but passes it many times. I’ve never liked the permanent 20% off signs in the window
Very glad you showcased some DayDates! My favourite!
Glad you enjoyed it!
thank you for video i will visit shop when im in london
👏🏻👏🏻Great video and impressive collection! 🤩🤩
Thank you!
Man, those watches are amazing and I love when they look vintage and have a story. I'll take a vintage Rolex over new any day of the week.
Now you know where to 🙌🏽
Incredible! Big thumbs up!!
Cheers!

No way they didn’t have a loupe. If they said that they are liars IMO. BS on that one. No loupe? Suuuuurrre.
I purchased from David Duggan in the same arcade and their prices are fair. It’s not the rent
Great video! Very interesting I will have to visit the store when I am in the UK.
Thank you for commenting, definitely worth a visit!
If you want an overpriced, over polished watch sold by arrogant salesman, this is where you go.

Thanks a lot!
SUPER INTERESTING BEAUTIFUL PIECES THIS WILL BE THE SHOP I GO TO TO GET MY 1970 BIRTH WATCH

It would mean a lot to us if you could tell them that you saw our video when you go visit them 😊
GRAND SEIKO
ALL THE WAY!!!!
Shut up, you fool.
Often when I visit London, I view this stock; one reason is to try on the red Submariner that I bought for £192 in 1975 when I was 19 years old.
Wow, how times have changed. Thanks for sharing
I love the red, green and yellow Stella dials on those DD. If I won the lottery I’d pay a visit and but all three. Also I’d take the owner of the shop out for lunch. Such a knowledgeable guy.

Don't think he would want a McDonald's
Man I would be so worried with all that valuable stock😱😱
Great video;)
Thank you 🙏🏽

Sounds like I need to get over to London.

I rather buy a vintage rolex than an RM

He also said the Blueberry GMT is legit, its fake. Was never made for the military or whatever. Look it up. Its a frankenstein.
