Re: UK discounts

: automatic I am looking at.

I very nearly bought my Seamaster from Watchfinder, and was about to place an order with them, but in the end, just through personal choice, I ended up buying the watch at a high street jewellers ( Goldsmiths )

Watchfinder were selling the watch at around 875gbp, and Goldsmiths were selling it at the MRRP 1100gbp, but straightaway they went down to 950gbp, which I was happy with. I know it was still another 75 pounds dearer, but I knew that I had a genuine omega warranty, and the shop offered to re-size the bracelet etc etc, so in the end, I preferred the face to face service, although I reckon you would still get a pretty good service from watchfinder.

I rang another jeweller in Nottingham ( where I live ) and again , they readily offered a discount down around the same price at Goldsmiths.Good Luck

regards,
