Will be visiting London UK in October and looking for a good place to buy my first Rolex (new or used).

I assume the prices are better than Toronto. Any advice is helpful. Thank you.

If you think that, you’ll be very disappointed

And to add, prices will be no better in London, if anything used prices will be higher because it’s a bigger city

If you don’t mind used, check out Burlington Arcade in London. If you take you passport with you many retailers will give you a tax receipt so you can get the tax refunded to you at the airport which on a Rolex is a substantial amount.

Bucherer in Covent Garden is also a good shout. I doubt you’ll be able to get a new one from any AD but if you want to try your luck try Pragnells (my go to AD) and Watches of Switzerland

Anything that you cannot get at your local AD, you similarly will not be able to get at any other AD.

That said, the shop in Covent Garden had a nice selection of used Rolexes
