Adit 642 Posted March 2, 2019 On a recent visit to Brighton (Rolex,(amongst other top brand) dealers everywhere!), I called in on Watches Of Switzerland and was met by a very nice young chap who was more than happy to provide me with free advice, the latest Rolex catalogue (read book), the latest Rolex magazine and a very nice bag to take it all away in. "Customer" service 10/10 On a more recent visit to Oxford, I called into a jewellers where I met a very nice young lady who was more than happy to let me try on a very nice Tudor Black Bay and take away a free Tudor catalogue. Customer service 10/10 I then called in at the centre ("mall") TD and was met by a not over-friendly chap who looked me up and down and declared that he had "no catalogues in stock". Oh well, thank you anyway (sort of). Customer service 5/10 Just my two pennies worth. RWG TDs here I come Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not so much anymore, I don't know if you did it recently, but they tend to offer digital copies rather than physical now. There's a thread next door about it : https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/replica-watch-general-discussion/7525214-the-fall-of-the-real-catalogue Did you try getting them recently EBB ?

semperfi55 4,653 Posted March 3, 2019 Take a weekend and go round New Bond Street. They have almost all the big brands (no AP though). Have a look at watches, try them on and grab a catalogue at the end. Great afternoon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a new Lange boutique on the street, Lange has a nice thick hard cover catalogue. There’s also the Burlington Arcade nearby which has lots of vintage watches. Nearby to New Bond Street there is also William & Son, which is a department store. It sells smaller Swiss brands like FP Journe and H Moser & Cie. Might be able to get their catalogues too if lucky. Yea make that many afternoons.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
