Buying discounted genuine Omega Watches?

Ponty79

Hi all,


This is my first post.


I am looking to get myself an Omega watch. There are lots of places which seem to offer them at 'discounted' prices. One place in particular is PrecisionTime web site which seems to be legit. Has anyone had any experience of using them? How can I know whether the site is genuine and not looking to rip me off? The reviews of the web site seem to be good and it's based in the UK.




If I buy directly from Omega, Beaverbrooks, Goldmith's or other "authorised dealers" then it seems that there is no discount available. From what I have read, some people choose not to buy from authorised dealers, but instead buy from other places who will negotiate with authorised dealers to get the buyer a discount.




Is it cheaper to buy duty free from the airport? Ideally, I'd like to get a genuine watch with a discount on finance.




I know of another place called HackettWatches in Hatton Gardens who offer to source watches but am not sure whether they are as competitively priced as PrecisionTime.co.uk. The watch in question is £3,800 but I can get it from PrecisionTime and other places for about £2,850. It comes with the international warranty, box and papers, but I would appreciate any advice. After all, it's a lot of money to be forking out.

Help me folks!


Thanks,

Definately something to consider buying used. Plenty out there.

If a dealer wont offer a discount then how will a 3rd party goto a dealer and get a discount?

And they will need a decent discount to make some money themselves whilst saving you money.

So many fakes out there why do i get a feeling that the 3rd party will be scouring the chinese selling pages for a good copy of the watch?

One of the BBC shows "Fake Britain"? had a story on fake watches and a few specialists were surprised by the quality of the fakes. They had to open them and inspect the internals to know they were fake.

what about creationwatches?

Is that creation who sell genuine? watches that do not come with the genuine boxes/packaging for some odd reason?

I read reviews that said they sent watches back for repair and creation stopped responding to them.
