Pat Allen Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 Hi, I have one of the Omegas youve described and have used watchmaster. Their prices are a bit high but you do have the backup with them. If you know what your looking at then they can be bought cheaper. Depends if your buying just to have a great watch or as an investment . My advice would be to look at some of the pawnbrokers online and see if there are any good deals as at this time of year they are looking to offload pricey items.

Pat Allen Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 Hi Dave . Whichever you buy it’ll be a great watch . Just make sure you look online for the signs of fakes ! There’s lots of good ones out there! Most pawnbrokers and watchmaster will guarantee that they are genuine ! If you get one at the right money you’ll never lose one it ! Just make sure you keep the automatics well wound ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jame5m Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 I bought my Planet ocean GMT from Dominic at https://www.terencelett.com can recommend them, the service and the prices! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geek Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 I have purchased a number of watches (Rolex Sea Dweller, Heuer Carrera, 1942 Military Omega) from: Rolex Omega Patek Philippe Watches at The Old Watch Shop, UK Always helpful, but the price is as stated and it does depend on what is available, I am sure Mike Wood could get what you require.

dave thorniley Posted December 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 cheers guys so many lovely watches to choose from i have a budget of£ 2.500 and would prefer a seamaster 300m dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapua Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 Make sure you budget for a service every 3-4 years. I’ve worn one daily for about 17 of the last 20 years, stuck it in the cabinet 3 years ago, must get it up and running again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave thorniley Posted December 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 thanks for your advice what would you reccomend a quartz or auto movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSG Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Difficult choice around Quartz or Automatic. I have been caught out with battery changes in the past although there are some reliable people out there. My last service on my Seamaster was about £300. I do not wear it much now but it has a sentimental value to me. Much as you have set your heart on an Omega, the Timefactors Royal Navy Divers watch is in my opinion a great every day option at under £500. i would not pay nearly £8000 for the latest 007 option in titanium but you can find some good prices out there. Beware of refinished watches. Brown Dog had a good titanium one on here recently but not sure if it sold. Also do not discount the Brietling Super Ocean Heritage. Very 1960s Good luck with the search , discount anything with holes in the hands, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One on top of two Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 I got my 300 diver from goldsmiths , same as my Tags and have found them them helpful , regarding prices on new sea masters I found there where no bargains to be had .

lapua Posted November 16, 2022 Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 Just spent £1000 refurbing mine, full service, refurb, bezel and strap/clasp. Not bad for a ‘99 model that has had a very hard life. Triggers broom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-Pete Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 I scored this on ebay a while back. I think it's genuine. The innards look kosher, and it gains around 2 seconds a week, so they probably are. Best of all, it's a sensible diameter and thickness.
