My husband has been looking for a retirement present to himself for sometime now. He knew he wanted a Rolex and he also knew the one he wanted, as he had thought about this for many years. Upon researching he came across BQ Watches and was instantly impressed with the website, speed of response, friendly, professional and reliability. Initially he corresponded with Spencer and connected with his personality. Nothing was to much trouble. So, yesterday we drove for over 4 hours and after a restful sleep at the Red Lion we attended a meeting with Nadia. We were not disappointed at all! Fantastic service, brilliant staff, great atmosphere, even had our dinner paid for. You cannot get better than that, well yes you can, as Spencer presented my husband with a beautiful bottle of whiskey as Manchester City beat Arsenal! If you know, you know. Highly recommended and will definitely be coming back. Thank you Spencer, Nadia and David for your superb service.

We are pleased the website, swift replies and atmosphere all hit the mark, and that those little touches helped mark the occasion in style.

Thank you for the high recommendation. If any friends or family are thinking about a watch, please do send them our way. We look forward to welcoming you both again.

Amazing team, Customer Service & Inventory

I had a fantastic experience with BQ Watches in Radlett. I initially dealt with Nadia, and then David and Spencer, all of whom were brilliant to deal with. They really took the time to speak with me properly, made the whole process feel relaxed and straightforward, and put together a great deal.

Having dealt with many watch dealers over the years, BQ Watches has been by far the best to deal with.

I part exchanged my Rolex and Tudor Black Bay for a Rolex GMT-Master II and everything was handled professionally and transparently throughout.

A genuinely excellent experience from start to finish. I cannot recommend them enough, and BQ Watches will definitely be my go-to watch dealer from now on.

I recently purchased a Rolex Submariner and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The service was both friendly and efficient, making the whole process smooth and enjoyable.
A special mention goes to Nadia, who assisted me throughout. She was knowledgeable, approachable, and ensured that everything was handled professionally without feeling rushed or pressured. Her attention to detail and willingness to answer my questions made a real difference.
Buying a luxury watch should feel special, and thanks to Nadia and the team, it truly did. I’m delighted with my Rolex Submariner and wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend this place to others.

Exceptional Experience at BQ Watches

My experience with BQ Watches was outstanding, especially thanks to his owner, Spencer Dryer. I visited their offices in Radlett, and what looks unassuming from the outside reveals an incredibly impressive operation inside, combining buying and selling, expert watch authentication, professional photography, and secure vault storage.
The moment I saw their setup, I felt completely reassured about the security of my transaction. Spencer was genuinely personable, and his team highly professional. I would not have purchased a Rolex anywhere else on the secondary market.
For extra peace of mind, I immediately had the watch visually inspected by an independent watchmaker, who confirmed there were absolutely no issues with it.
Flexible on pricing and exceptional in service, this is a place I will gladly return to, even for future servicing. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a luxury watch, new or pre-owned.
