Good call but be aware that to get to Nic you need to get a train out of Waterloo station to Walton On Thames.

There's a place in the Royal Exchange right outside Bank tube station:

This place isn't far from the Burlington Arcade and comes off Old Bond Street, which itself contains a load of high end watch dealers.

I'm pretty sure if you walk up Old Bond Street and onto Bond Street, just before you get to Oxford Street there's a vintage watch shop on the right hand side. I think it's this place:

Bonhams is up there on the left hand side too, where the Haslinger auction took place.

Austin Kaye, as mentioned above, is on the Strand near Charring Cross station and not far from Covent Garden. Both Harrods and Selfridges have expensive watches but they're all new.

These places on Clerkenwell Road:

I think a lot of places in London are closed on Saturdays because a lot of dealers go to Portabello Road (only on Saturdays though):

I've not been here but they apparently sell watches:

And finally there are a few places in Hatton Garden but when I went there with a friend a few Saturdays ago the main underground market was shut because - you guessed - all the dealers were at Portabello Road.
