I know Dominic is regularly mentioned on here, but I'd just like to say thanks for a thoroughly painfree and professional transaction as he bought my Omega Speedy off me today. Posted yesterday, paid today and a pleasant bloke to deal with. Shame the watch went but slush fund for the 'new' Porsche more pressing! byebye

If anyone needs a sale or a watch related chat, give Dom a call.

Yep, top bloke. Bought new and second hand from Dom, sold to him and he's just sorted a stunning refurb on my Breitlings Aerospace.

Ah, email... the communication that you never know if it got there.

I assume you sent another, or picked up the phone?

I have never bought or sold a watch off him, or to him, but I do like his floppy hair..
Umm...ok...

As it happens, no, I was busy chasing up other leads, but point taken. More importantly, Dominic got in touch after reading this thread to apologise for whatever mix-up led to that, whether honest error or technical issue, so good chap for doing that. thumbup On that basis, I'd certainly consider dealing with him in the future.

Me too

I had a phone conversation and then sent a detailed e-mail as a follow up to confirm sale details and purchase request, but no response

I guess I slipped through the net too - others seems very happy, and Dominic posts on here regularly and comes across as a well respected chap, but I had a different experience

Will try another time....

In the interests of imbalance, Dominic has never replied to the email I never sent because I'm too scared of my wife to spend any money on a decent watch smile
