What would you get c.£1k at goldsmiths

[p1tse]

Potentially have tesco vouchers to boost to this value

[ecain63]

Something from the pre-owned counter. Theres usually a PO or something for around £1k.

[p1tse]

Not sure I can use tesco vouchers for pre owned and didn't realise goldsmiths has a list of them

[ecain63]

No list online i don't think. You just need to look around the different stores in your area. My local 'smiffs is forever changing its pre-owned stock.

[VBRJ]

Wow, didn't know that have a pre-owned section!

From the new stuff up to £1000, I would be looking at;

Oris Diver £960
http://www.goldsmiths.co.uk/Oris-Divers-Date-Gents...

Oris Artelier £880
http://www.goldsmiths.co.uk/Oris-Artelier-Date-Gen...

Longines Conquest £760
http://www.goldsmiths.co.uk/Longines-Conquest-gent...

etc.

I personally wouldn't be tempted by any of the fashion quartz watches they have around that price (Gucci et al).

[T1547]

Something Oris, Longines or Hamilton at that price personally.

Couple of nice ones (imo):

http://www.goldsmiths.co.uk/Longines-Heritage-Gent...

Really need to know more about what kind of thing you're looking for though and your style/size preferences..

[p1tse]

Quite like the Longines Conquest gents with silver dial, because of the classic age look

Oris both look great
I like the chronograph for the sporty look

Agree will stay away from designer quartz at that amount
Is there anything worth getting if spending a little less ie £700 or less so the other half can get some earrings or something? Just a thought, so the longines is about that price

a PO for 1k, ye about 6 years ago!

Preowned Planet Ocean sell privately for above £1.5+ so Goldsmiths would sell them for at least 2k (warranty etc)

Also you cant use tesco vouchers on pre owned watches

[jonny70]

what about?

Friend of mine has one , Its well made and a stunning looking watch esp with a black dial.Great value for money as longines is prestigious brand with a lot of history

I stuck some cash with my vouchers and bought a Longines Legend Diver and am very pleased with it and wear it a bit more than my Omega Seamaster

Could have been bought and flipped on the bay for a nice profit that.

Nice cup of tea and some chocolate biscuits ?

[p1tse]

Thanks all
Swaying towards longines

May top up to get the hydroconquest but need to check it out

[PJ S]

Rado D-Star are a nice watch, with a very scratch proof case.

Whatever you opt for, remember not to reveal the vouchers until all haggling is done.

But vouchers can only be used on full price

how long have you had the vouchers?

They expire after 2 years(so if its only a year) , could you not save up some more and put it towards an Omega

Longines Legend Diver - I've seen them discounted to about £1100 without much resistance from Goldsmiths in Reading.
