    Rolex and top end watches EC2 London

    I found a fantastic jewellers in EC2 London, Liverpool St. Ive been looking for a Rolex for a good few months now and I was reccommended to Jonathan Geeves Jewellers in Liverpool St, EC2. www.geevesjewellers.co.uk.
    The jeweller sourced my Rolex and it was 25% less than any other watch dealer or jeweller i could fine. Even cheaper than duty free in Dubai.
    Outstanding service and I highly reccommend this jewellers.
    I'm baffled why people go to the big branded places and get ripped off!

    That is great to know. What model was it? Are they able to source s/s ceramic Daytonas or SD43s at such savings?

    My memory may be playing tricks, as I haven't walked past the store for a couple of years. However the most Rolex wise that I recall seeing in the preowned section tended to be a (small) handful of Datejust and Submariners, at the typical pricing for somewhere off Bishopsgate.

    All you got to do is take a look in the window or pop inside for chat. You will either like the shop or you won't and it's no big deal either way.

    I worked not far from Liverpool Street for over 20 years and there are many small specialist shops in the area so you never know.

    Nice post pat123. I walk past this shop daily and have had the misfortune of dealing with them. They are a bunch of cowboys, charge amazing amounts to do simple tasks like change batteries and then screw up placing the bracelet back on. On top the horrid lady serving my wife was exceptionally rude.

    Complete joke of a place and if they need to come on here to promote, things can’t be going so well. Shame really.

    Use this place at your own risk.

    One of my colleagues used them to repair the clasp on his Seamaster - they didn't replace it but instead they repaired it for £235!!

    ^ for me, this illustrates one of the greatest strengths of the forum. Truth will quickly out.

    Interesting, if it was a for a SMP, a new one is about £65 plus VAT and fitting charge at STS or OSC. They really aren't coming out of this thread too well it seems.

    Not sure how qualified to work on Tag Heuer they are if they can’t even spell it correctly.

    You see the thing about high precision timepieces is that the fine details make all difference. Clearly on this basis alone, I’m out.

    Pat, what was the specific model of Rolex that they supplied you with, for 25% less than you could find at any other jeweller?

    How much did they charge you for it?

    There is a great risk that your post will be viewed as a self-defeating attempt to promote the company if you don’t engage fully here. If it is not that, it would be a shame for you to have “hobbled” what you consider such a fantastic business by alienating everyone on the UK’s busiest watch forum.

    Yeah, I mean if some Google’s “Geeves Jewellers Liverpool Street reviews”, you wouldn’t want them to come here would you now unless you can back up that claim?

    I suspect Jonathan Geeves is now realising there is such a thing as bad publicity.

    If Trump can declare himself a genius, surely Pat can claim to own the world's finest Rolex emporium.

    The men in white coats will be along shortly...

    There's no longer a market in second hand Rolex after Haywood scared the c**p out of the busiest UK watch forum membership.

    It would only work if they were rubbish though? Rival business leaves glowing reference of great competitor wouldn't have the same effect!

    Don’t think so. Some here seem to have decided this is a business to avoid based solely on one post.

    I take it you've missed the other two additional pieces of shitty feedback, one from a member with 800+ posts?

    Think some minds were already made up by then.

    Not saying this retailer is good/bad just that such a tactic could be used.

    I recently bought a Seiko Pogue that came with a service receipt from this place dated April 2013 and they charged only £68.95 which I thought was very cheap for a chronograph service. I certainly know that I charge more than that and I don't have a premises in central London to pay for.

    The watch however was sold as spares or repairs and when I opened it up there were a catalogue of faults. I won't list them all as who knows what had happened to it between it being serviced and ending up in my hands, but when you see one of the balance wheels jewels has been oiled and the other is completely dry four and a half years after servicing it doesn't reflect well on the person/company who worked on it previously. You get what you pay for I suppose.

    I was thinking this also. The user name is very generic and the post is too blatant.

    I suspect someones grinding an axe on here.

    Aye, quite an astute business move, wasn`t it.......
    Put the fear into buying any pre-owned R***x and the custom will come flooding in to those who can guarantee/authenticate!
