Selling My Black Bay for a Planet Ocean - Advice Plz

[Martin_M]

Hi folks,

the cost of the PO is £3720 and all of the main jewellers seem to be offering the same 0% deal over 3 or 4 years.

I was wondering if they are likely to discount the watch and still offer me the 0% deal or would any reduction only apply to a cash purchase?

Also, as I don't have the full £3720 in cash, would they accept a bigger deposit than the 10% advertised and reduce the monthly payments accordingly?

I'm thinking about e-mailing around to see if anyone can do a deal.

Thanks in advance,

Martin

Generally you choose either the discount of perhaps 20% or the interest free payment, which is paid for by the discount (borrowing money isn't free, someone has to pay!).

Another option might be to get a 0% interest credit card and buy from iconic watches http://www.iconicwatches.co.uk/our-brands/all-bran...

I bought my 1yr old PO from Watchfinders for around £2800 less £100 using a random voucher (and used their finance option)...so unless you really want a new one, there are other options..

I know it's no help and we all have different wants/ needs/ opinions but I think I'd be keeping the BB...

Lovely time piece and a fair chance at appreciating a little (or more) when Tudor go on sale in the UK...

Maybe get the PO on 0% and monthly payments and hold the Tudor for a while?

Maybe Try beaverbrooks and Goldsmiths in Braehead shopping centre (Im sure they will want the business esp as there isa Omega boutique in the city centre) negotiate the discount and then when you goto pay ask to pay on i/r free.

Thanks for the info so far - if anyone has any experience of this then it would be good to hear from you.

Cheers

I went for an interest free credit card to cover my Seamaster purchase a few years back - got 20% off RRP then just paid off the credit card as I would have done the interest free loan. Same result, other than getting the extra Avios for the credit card purchase

That won't work as the T&C's for the finance will demand full RRP.

What this guy said.

There's also no competition between goldsmiths, omega boutique and watches of Switzerland regarding Omega sales as they all have a discount agreement and all owned by the Aurum group.

Drop me a message when your ready to buy I know a lot of the lads that work in the above, also goldsmiths are doing a 4 years IFC just now.

Hi there,

Are you getting another Planet Ocean - I could swear I read that your parents had bought you one already, and you were flogging the Black Bay to pay for some wedding! . Apologies if wrong.

Which PO are you looking at, size etc?

I've swerved Omega for the last few years after having a Seamaster, but tried on a GoodPlanet the other day, and really quite intrigued now.

The new coaxials are lovely watches indeed.

Hello sir,

You are correct - my folks got me the black faced PO on the metal strap. Wedding wise - we're on track so now I have the Omega bug I'm hoping to sell the Black Bay and go for the big faced orange bezel on the orange strap. That said, I haven't heard back from the chap who was hoping to buy it for his son so I think the deal might fall through!

I didn't know about these 0% deals until recently so once I get the BB sold I'll hopefully take the plunge.

Mark - thanks for that - will do.
