Make This Summer Special

3rd July 2022 Summer holidays are almost here, the weather is hot and Wimbledon is back. Holidays are in full swing and despite the queues at the airports our Foreign Exchange departments are rushed off their feet selling Euros and Dollars to those lucky enough to be going abroad, making up for previous years of lockdown.  We have sold a record number of Rolex watches over the last 12 months. As we replenish our stock we come across rare and unusual models. Rolex usually make their watches in Oystersteel or... Read More

Make This A Very Special Christmas

31st October 2021 It’s a well-known fact that the best presents come in small packages. While fashion trends will come and go, we often attach precious memories to jewellery, which is what makes it such a special gift to give and receive. However, knowing what to buy someone, whether it is your partner or a good friend, can very difficult.  There are a lot points to consider when it comes to buying a piece of jewellery for someone but many of them can be resolved with a little observation, a...

As Good As Gold

29th August 2021 We all sometimes wish we had a crystal ball and knew what was coming next. Whether it’s the right time to sell or buy a house, invest in the stock market or for our business, buy or sell some jewellery or gold.

My investment on some models such as a stainless steel Daytona would have TRIPLED over the last 5 years. Rolex watches have always been... Read More

Diary of a Pawnbroker – May 2021

What a strange 12 months we have all had!         I hate to mention the ‘C word’ but we all are sick to the teeth of COVID taking up the news and the impact it has had on us all. I just hope and wish it has not affected you or your families too badly and hope and pray that life is finally starting to show signs of potential normality once again. We have been trading on a reduced hour basis to provide essential lending services throughout the lockdowns however... Read More
