  • Description

    Known as the Barilotto or 'Little Barrel' due to its compact chunky appearance, the 3525 is also known as the POW watch due to Rolex having afforded some prisoners of war to take delivery of said Watches while incarcerated, to be paid for upon their release. This particular rare black dial example, this very watch, was sold by Phillips six years ago for £140,000. Due to a combination of economy not quite being what it was and horological fashions changing, it is now available for substantially less yet should take pride of place in most Rolex collections.

  • Why buy from us

    1st & foremost, we understand & take responsibility for the fact that both tastes & horological fashions are ever changing.

    We do this by being willing to take back past pieces we've sold either in the form of part exchanges or cash when needed.

    With clients rarely loosing more than 15-20% in this process & even benefitting from large profits on occasion, we believe this is the way to build trust with the public. For example. If going 'off piste' & not sticking to in vogue trendy watches such as Batman's, we believe you would incur the same monetary loss spending £20,000 with us on your various purchases as you would spending £8500 at new RRP.

    The very fact that we've never advertised in over 30 years shows we have a long standing loyal customer base. Please see testimonials for more on this.
