Bought a watch from RWT after I found the lowest priced Daytona 126500LN Panda 2025 unworn. I initially communicated with Asil digitally and then all further questions answered very professional... See more

About Rolex Watch Trader
Information provided by various external sources
Rolex Watch Trader (RWT) have been in the market place for 20 years in which time the business model has continually developed. All aspects of our work are always evolving as we study the major brands and key players within our field. This is paired with a huge passion for watches, which has been a natural component helping us grow at the rate we have, credit to the committed hard work and dedication shared by the entire team.
We operate from a secure office on an appointment only basis, in the heart of Manchester City Centre. If you are unable to make it to our office and make a purchase online instead, or decide to sell via post, our committed team are on hand to guide you step by step. You can trust us to make the entire process transparent, stress-free and effortless. When shipping we will package and deliver your watch in a uncompromised fashion, ensuring a fully insured, secure, tracked and where possible a next working day delivery (or on an alternative day which suits you). We also are able to visit you in the security of your home or work place to close a transaction face to face.
We at RWT understand watches are precious both as a purchase and when it comes to their sentimental value. We have a strict and fine-tuned policy when processing watches prior to resale. If any work is required, we will send the watch straight to the manufacturer for service and/or replacement parts. This gives us and our clients the peace of mind that the physical condition, function and history are at an exceptional level. This process is expensive, but we embrace the standards set with years of investment, research and development by the manufacturer and we always look to adhere to the same. This ensures in our knowledge that our clients will receive a truly special product.
Our customers quickly understand and appreciate our "here to help" rather than "here to buy/sell" approach once you engage with us. We always invite you to read the reviews left by our clients on Trustpilot prior to making a decision when seeking to buy, sell or part exchange. If you are happy with what you have read so far, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be happy to assist with any query you may have.

Good buying experience with Rolex Watch Trader
Just had a v good transaction with Rolex Watch Trader. Met Asil and Matt to conclude the deal, they were both v friendly and I bought a great watch at a great price..
I recently sold my Rolex to RWT…
I recently sold my Rolex to Asil at RWT Manchester, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. Asil is a true professional and an honest gentleman — someone who values transparency, integrity, and customer care above everything else.
The process was smooth, fair, and handled with genuine respect. It’s rare to meet someone in the luxury watch industry who combines expertise with such sincere professionalism.
RWT Manchester itself is an outstanding organisation, offering some of the finest watch brands with an approach that inspires confidence and trust. Their service is top-tier, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a high-end timepiece.
Thank you again, Asil — a flawless experience. Highly recommended.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS
AVOID AT ALL COSTS
I have very small wrists and was concerned whether something could be this small I was assured by Asil having sent my photos and my tiny measurements it could ! It could be!
Asil said he had taken out 2 full links and 2 half links I’d already provided photos of my wrist with measuring tape on im very tiny really need to be 12cm the watch was sent to me and it was a beautiful watch stunning , but he would have known with his experience, and I’d said my size and provided photos, the watch was never no way going to fit me
having had my measurement - infact it was nearer to my elbow than wrist I think he took out the links he did knowingly it wouldn’t fit but if he had sent a message to me saying “we have taken all the adjustable links out” I immediately would have thought this was never going to fit me
So cleverly he said the links he’d taken out no reference to size
I sent photos couldn’t wear as too big
I advised I was taking into the shop in Swansea to see what they could do they just looked at it and my wrist and advised as had I to Asil it could never fit as there was only one more link to take out Asil had said the same in messages only 1 more link so he knew it wouldn’t fit me when he sent it!
So I asked to return it as would never fit me or ever would have
I received email back basically saying yes thats ok
they didn’t offer to provide a label or even cover the value on their insurance and made a comment if its in the same condition when they inspect it as when they sent to me they’d refund!
I was told to insure it with securus cost me £125 I then paid for special delivery level £2500, which cost me £20.75
Because I’m a nice person I even put a note in saying here is £20 note cash to pay your postage for sending to me (they paid £14.75) I saw it on the label
Notwithstanding everything they would have known when they sent the watch to me it would be way too big and couldn’t be sized as Asil said in messages there’s only one more link!
I know!
I sent loads of emails asking
About how did I insure with this company they’re telling me to insure with. (All companies always without fail provide a shipping or return label and even if they deduct from your refund it’s what they do) with a item this value Asil and his colleague matthew knew I wouldn’t know how to send back,
But literally no help they should have insured it)
when I did send back i sent confirmation to them I send special delivery info I sent copy of the insurance email
I updated them on tracking
They ignored every message
I then had to literally beg to get my money back less obviously the £400 which I had no say in one way or the other
Like how dishonest is this
I then received an email saying there was a scratch (which strangely in photos was white) and it would cost £400 to polish out so they were keeping that money
I photographed the watch and every single item with it as when I read the email prior to me sending back I immediately picked up they were going to allege something which they did!
In my letter I had even said I was sorry for having child like wrists and I’d be looking for a Rolex for my daughter in law I was really nice even despite them sending a watch “sized for me” that nearly reached my elbow
I was just trying to be nice
I’ve sent photographs of the watch with no scratches on
And I took one at 8.19am
In the morning of the day I sent it back as I was just packing it up and there were no scratches it was perfect
This so called scratch is white or so it looks in their photos like as if they’ve put a line of polish
I personally believe this was a deliberate premediated (As they’d already said in their email) attempt to extort money from me
So I’d been proper I’d paid
£125 insurance to send back
£20.75 postage
£20 cash for their postage
And now they’ve retained £400
So it’s cost me nearly £600 for them sending a watch that they knew without a shadow of a doubt wouldn’t fit
I did not scratch it
Total fabrication
Would I ever buy from this company again oh dear god no
How dishonest are they
I even said in messages when Asil said he was keeping £400 is this what you would do for someone who would be a repeat customer
I’ve dealt with a few people in my life
I’ve never had £400 taken off me like this no negotiation just if you want a refund we’re keeping £400
Apparently to polish the watch
£400 to polish!!! ????
I’d say avoid this company at all costs unless you do have £600 to throw away
There is no negotiation nothing
They’re nice when you’re buying
Oh so nice and chatty friendly even messaging late in the evening honestly I have the messages!
when you have a problem forget it we will just keep your money!
ID AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Exceptional, Highly Recommended.
Exceptional, professional transaction, seamless from start to finish. The entire process was handled with clear, succinct help and advice. The price offered was the best I received online and the face to face meeting was a real pleasure.
Asil is a very knowledgeable, experienced dealer and a genuinely nice bloke too!
Service with RWT was seamless
Service with RWT was seamless, transparent, and fast. Even with the initial scepticism of posting my cartier wristwatch. I eventually did post it and boom, money was already in my bank account. Can boldly say they're the best 👌
Hello I’m very very happy with you…
Hello I’m very very happy with you thank you so much and I will come back to you
RWT was brilliant
Asil was brilliant, he offers me a great valuation on two watches, and within 6 hours we came to my home to check the pieces. We had a great conversation about watches and within 10 minutes or so he had prepared an agreement and the money was transferred into my bank account.
I’ve been keeping in touch with him about other time pieces I’m interested in.
Great service and I would use him again in a heart beat and recommend to others.
Brilliant deal, brilliant watch
Rolex watch purchased from RWT. Dealt with Asil. Brilliant communication. Rapid delivery. Would definitely deal again.
Highly recommended.
Very happy with my purchase
Very happy with my purchase. Competitive prices and top customer service. Asil was very helpful and a pleasure to do business with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rolex Watch Trader
Selling my Watch
I have to say I was blown away by the experience I received whilst selling my Rolex. I contacted several companies initially to try and get the best price for my watch. I was very cautious with my approach to everyone. One of these companies was The Rolex Watch Trader. I spoke with Asil who was lovely to talk to but also very professional. I sent over the details of my watch and he very quickly came back with a price. Out of the four companies I had contacted Asil gave me the best price. He even came and picked the watch up to save me having to go into London. I was so impressed with the whole experience from start to finish. The money was transferred immediately. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting to sell their watch.

The gentleman telepohned me at 10,15 on Sunday 5th October after I had contacted him earlier. He looked at the imigages that I had sent to him and he suggested a price for my Rolex oyster quartz wrist watch. He asked where I lived and he said he could come and see me that afternoon. We met at 5.15 p.m. and a deal was struck. He paid me for my watch after he had had a close examination and we went on our merry way rejoycing. I found the exercise very amicable and would recommend this company regarding Rolex watches
Excellent All Around
I’ve purchased / sold several timepieces with Asil, and every experience has been smooth and straightforward. He’s very knowledgeable, professional, and completely trustworthy. Highly recommended!
Excellent, Honest and Professional Service
Asil was very professional, I contacted him online and he followed up with a phone call to agree a price based on my photos
A couple of days later we were in his office and and the money had been transferred as agreed
Excellent service very professional and honest
Would highly recommend him
