Reply With Quotenot sure re vintage/preowned, nothing stood out when I lived there. But the Berry's has an incredible range to drool over.
Hello,
Heading into Newcastle this afternoon. Anywhere good to go for watches? Vintage and Pre owned.
Thanks
not sure re vintage/preowned, nothing stood out when I lived there. But the Berry's has an incredible range to drool over.
You could try Ramsdens, or cash converters.
This is the land of Wonga pay day loans, and high street shopping in your best track suit, or onesie pyjamas.
If you want to go window shopping, start at Berry's at Greys Monument, then head around to Goldsmiths, and keep going down hill on Pilgrim Street to the "Newcastle Jewellery Co." second hand shop.
They normally have a few Omegas in stock, and they once had an overpriced double red Sea Dweller in for £17k or £18k (when they were £14k everywhere else)
No idea if there are any hidden gems, but there is a row of high end jewellers right by the Monument, so you can ogle the latest offerings from Rolex, Omega, Panerai, Tudor Breitling etc and gasp at the prices!
Berry shave some brand new "pre owned " Rolex at a decent discounts
There's is a watch repair kiosk in Eldon Square just behind M&S who also sell some vintage watches Tudor, Rolex, Omega.

avoid those guys like the plague. Sent a rolex 1500 to them for a routine service. It stopped running within a week of coming back, after the same thing happening twice more (and months later) they said they would have to do a 'full service' and fully disassemble the watch (which they said would be done the first time). I gave up and went elsewhere, total cowboys that don't know what they are doing. When I went to pick up the watch the last time they said I'd have to come back because they couldn't find it!!Originally Posted by Cinch
Generally poor experience there. Went in after seeing an Explorer in the window and keen to buy. Was told to come back another day as they were too busy and had lost the paperwork.

There's always a good selection of pre-owned in One of the shops in the Metro Centre, never bought from them though.
Market Cross and David Summerfield.
Not used David Summerfield but tempted to pop up there at the weekend as he has a 16713 GMT I am tempted by, hopefully get it at a fair price with a bit of haggling ;)
Just seen this in the Newcastle Jewellery co:http://www.newcastlejewellery.com/in...emart&Itemid=1
Not a bad price for a Daytona but the bezel is over polished, happened to mine years ago and a new one is not cheap.
