I wanted to ask a question from the more experienced watch buyers on here.

I recently received a bit of money from an inheritance and rather than waste it have decided to spend some of it on a watch so that I have something thats hopefully going to last a while to remind me of the person. (Without sounding like a gayer they were very important to me and this seems like a nice way)

I have been looking at getting an Omega of some sort and whilst reading up on them came accross Blowers website.

They sell what they call Pre-Owned but Unused watches and from the photos it looks like its literally that.

For me it seems like a very logical thing to do. For the same reason I wouldnt buy a brand new car it looks like I can buy a very nice watch and someone else takes the initial hit on the depreciation. Whilst Im not buying this to sell on the person who left me the money would definitly approve of me making a saving.

Is there any downsides to this? Without getting into a slagging match has anyone had any positive experiences of Blowers? I live at the other end of the country and would probably deal with them over the phone depending on the experiences

Thanks for your help

I want an Omega specifically as I have always wanted one, not sure why. I have a budget of about £3000 but havent even looked at Rolex watches as they werent want I wanted.
