If you want a new one you cant go wrong with Cabot who is Silvermans
If used its bit more of a minefield as they are largely from private sellers
Outside of Ebay try Anchor Supplies they are an MOD disposal agent.
Can anyone recommend an eBay seller for a G10? Anyone had any good/bad experiences?

I’ve bought three off Ebay. Two that were cosmetically perfect came from MBRadio (pristine 85 mid-fat) and Ramco (pristine 06), The other and I can’t remember the trader’s name was junk.
I think it is a bit of a lottery as to what you find inside if it hasn’t been inspected and described in the postings: water damage for example. With one of the good uns, I’ve just had to have the electronics replaced. It had been fitted with the wrong size battery and very sharp spacer spring that damaged the electronics when I recently changed the battery.
Otherwise put a WTB on here or MWR or maybe ask Andrew Leftley at Time World Services if he has one.

Agree with MBradio he posts over at MWR as well from time to time.
Just had a quick look on eBay. MBradio doesn’t seem to have any watches for sale at the moment.
Thanks for the help so far.
I ordered from Anchor Supplies then cancelled and went with a brand new one from CWC. If you want one I'd say get a brand spanker. Great watch and, whilst it's not the amazing bargain it once was, it's still an absolutely awesome watch for the money. I set it last Wednesday and it is 100% bang on atomic time when I just checked it. Only down sides for me are the seconds hands down't always perfectly hit the markers (only very marginal drift) and the Plexi glass marks easily (like any other plastic crystal).
If you go new get it from CWC, it's free delivery (Silverman's charge £3.99 delivery).
There is a French member of the forum - Laurent B - who regularly sells new, or perhaps NOS, CWCs on the French forums, prices seem to be around 140/150 euros. Trustworthy bloke, I'd say, so you could try him.
I have one on E bay at this moment. Its 2006 never issued still has plastic cover on. If it doesn't sell i will pm you see if you are interested
Cheers

Thanks for the help everyone. It's been discussed quite a bit elsewhere recently but it's a shame that CWC have increased their prices so much. I paid about £300 for my SBS a few years ago and seriously regret selling it now!

You probably bought it from me, that's how much mine went for!!

Just remembered mine wasn't a '06 T dial so cancel the last.

Exactly this. They've priced themselves out of what I can call an everyday watch. Which is a real pity because I'd buy another straight away if they were cheaper. Hence the reason I'm looking at the G10 as an alternative.

I don't suppose you know why there are so many 89 dated G10's on the market do you? I think I read somewhere that a huge number where over ordered in that year but it would be nice to know.

Hi,
I really don't know but I think the over order explanation could be the right one...?
