Anyone had dealings with Noblesse LP pawnbroker in Edinburgh ?
Assuming it has a bricks and mortar presence, anyone visited their office in Edinburgh ?

Whereabouts is it based? The only pawnbroker I'm aware of (other than Cash Generator/Cash Converter) is based at the corner of Queen Street and Frederick Street. I think it's called Duncanson and Edwards. I've bought a couple of watches there.
Never heard of them. Do they have a website, are they NPA members and do they appear to be authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority?

Must be new, I've been Edinburgh my whole life and never heard of them before.
Just saw them on Watchfinder advertising a Daytona. Guess nobody has heard of them.
Did you mean Chrono24?Originally Posted by Bestofthebest
This looks like them : https://www.chrono24.co.uk/search/in...&dosearch=true
They refer to their "watch-pawnshop."
I will be checking the FCA Register and NPA register on Monday as one needs now to pass some massive regulatory hurdles before one can trade as / call oneself a pawnbroker.
Personally.......wouldn't touch, pending some much greater reassurance.
Edited to add : mobile telephone numbers and an address shared with many other businesses...

Just to point out that the phone numbers given have the +41 prefix - Switzerland.
Their prices seem 'keen' particularly for PM Daytonas and VC Overseas Chrono on Chrono24.
Anyone seen 'more affordable' elsewhere for the above ?

In existence for less than a year. I'd be cautious.

As already said in #9, the country code is for Switzerland. The 79 means it's a mobile number on the Swisscom network.
I was trying hard not to read it as that but gave up in the end
Never fight it
Are both the phone numbers the same?
Yes
I saw a couple of listings on Chrono24 and did a couple of checks, limited company with other companies as shareholders, shareholding companies with more companies as shareholdings and coming out of Lithuania and some other random place.. all put me off even looking further.
As they say if it's too good to be true...
Registering at companies house means nothing as they operate on "Good faith" and no checks are made. You can pretty much open a company at any address regardless of if you actually own the building or not.
There are firms that provide an address (which is a legal requirement for a limited company) as a service to virtual companies. It seems to cost a few to a few hundred squids per annum. Sounds like there's a company at that address doing just that.
If anyone still cares about dealing with this company, I can call them during working hours and report back. (My calls to the Swisscom mobile network are free.)
I'm running a mile. Going to Watchfinder at the Royal Exchange on Tuesday. They have SS and WG Daytonas.
I sent an enquiry today, noting that they were a "watch - pawnshop" in Edinburgh, asking what they might lend against my Rolex GMT BLNR and what I would need to bring in if I wanted to pawn it.
Their reply (strangely, received at 23:00 UK time....) ?
"Not interesting, thx"
This smells of complete bull****.
Totally agree!
Hah. Oh lordy.
I've never heard of them.
