The Breitling Watch Source Forums

OK guys, can anyone recommend any independent UK jewellers who sell decent watches and, crucially, accept part-exchanges / trades?

Basically I'm fed up with being messed around trying to sell my Le Mans privately, so I'm going to try to part-exchange it for something that I do want. Now I'm not looking for recommendations of AD's specifically as most of the time they don't accept trades : what I am after is recommendations for places like Mark Worthington's or Ian Blowers Jewellers. i.e. ideally bricks and motor places (although internet based is OK too) that tend to stock both pre-owned/unused pieces in addition to standard second-hand items. As I say, Ian Blowers or Mark Worthington's are ideal, but they don't currently have anything I'm looking for.

What I am looking for is one of the following -

Panerai PAM 270
Blancpain Fifty Fathoms
JLC Master Compressor Extreme World Chronograph
Zenith Defy Classic Open (silver dial)

Oh and as I say above, I'm really after a UK based jewellers as the exchange rate to the states is seriously poor at the moment, and I don't really want to be shipping things backwards and forwards internationally.

All help appreciated guys!

you already know my ans mate have you spoken to him?

Did you see Lee's offer to market your piece? Maybe he'll be able to source one of those pieces for you and do an exchange as well.

No I've not! If he does "non-Breitlings" as well, then I'll give him a shout.


I hadn't seen it, until now. I'll give Lee a try too. Cheers guys.

he does bell and ross and some other brands not sure what though

but worth a call to see what he would give you for it or if not he has the airshows coming up so selling it on your behalf there would be a good bet.
