If visiting London and you would like to see the best range of superb vintage omegas at the best prices, then head off down to the local internet cafe.
If you want to hold watches in the metal, then Burlington Arcade, but honestly you will give yourself an aneurysm trying to work out how the clowns in suits make any sort of living - I mean they might sell one watch to one person but I cannot see them having repeat business.
As to the rest, Grays market or Portobello, they worship their own wallet and nothing else.
I have never seen such an extraordinary collection of watches and people that I never want to be near again.
That said, because I am a watch collector, I have blind optimism, in both watches and people, and so I go back and look, again and again.
The people are still wankers and the watches are still over priced.
If you can go in auction season, the viewings are definitely worth looking at.
