Where is the best place to get a good discount off an Omega in London? I'm looking at POs with the older movement. I thought I might be able to have a deal since these seem to be on their way out, but I keep getting the usual "Omega don't let us discount".

What would be a good price to pay for a new PO, with the bracelet?

Tried that, none of his AD's have any of the old ones left was my understanding. So he is sourcing me an alternative.

Try Zelley's in Bishop's Stortford Hertfordshire.

I tried a couple of PO's on last week from there and they still had one old style movement in stock.

Not sure if they do discount, might be worth a phone call.

Interesting. I've been into two different Omega boutiques in the last two weeks and both were insistent that the old PO would be made and sold along side the new one.

If you can't get 15% minimum, then walk to the next Omega store of which there are loads in London. Don't accept that 'no discount' bks!!! It really is complete bks.

Were you trying in Omega's own stores or other ADs?

I couldn't be sure but I'd imagine that you'd get the best deal outside of Omega's own boutiques, and no discounts being available at all, as has already been said, is complete tosh. I tried on an older model PO in an Ernest Jones store (not in London) not too long after the new model was launched and was informed that a deal could be done just by me asking. 10% off should be easy, after that it'd be down to your own negotiating skills.

I've tried Omega (who won't discount at all) and Mappin & Webb (who offer an almost pointless discount). I'll try some other dealers- last year I bought a SMP from an independent AD with a 21% discount. I hadn't realised that almost all of the independent ADs in the south have disappeared and it's only really the big chains that are selling Omegas now.
