Strange post but I bought this not too long ago...

Yes, I'm a bit bored of it, but I do like a bit of Omega.

I have been approached by a chap who owns this...

Similar watch, I quite fancy a change to a blue face.

Both excellent condition, his recently serviced.

I'm looking to fund a second hand Breitling and the £750 cash my way he has offered should just do it.

Do I do it?

Help.

Make sure it's a 40mm (not the 36mm) and make sure it's an auto, not quartz, but other than that, seems a reasonable deal. I reckon yours is worth £1,400 - £1,500 maybe, and the blue one £750. (assuming both good condition with all the bits).

The 2531.80.00 is a bit of a classic I think, partly because it was the "Bond" watch of the Brosnan era of films (apart from Goldeneye, which was a quartz). Seems to matter for some reason. So may even go up in value over time.

Oh it's most definitely the full size auto, wouldn't even be considering this deal without that being the case.

I got 20% off retail before the price hike so I paid that for it anyway near enough.

Reckon I will go for it.

£750 will get me a nice Breitling into the collection.
