Well, it's that time of year where all of the high street AD's are offering 0% interest deals. If I was to make a purchase on 0% finance would there still be room to try and negotiate some discount? I have a real hankering for an Omega PO and it makes no sense to hand over a large chunk of cash in one go when I can hand it over in smaller incriments over a period of time for no extra charge.

It depends where you go. IIRC Goldsmiths won't discount when you use their 0% finance offers but certain others, such as Beaverbrooks, will.

IME, some places will offer discount with 0% interest, but you'll most likely be limited to around 10%, if that. I'd be on the phone to Dominic Hackett, a well respected member on here and owner of Hackett Watches (www.hackettwatches.com), to see what sort of discount (no finance though) he can provide.

20-25% discount of an Omega or Tag Heuer is not unheard of! smile

Thanks for that. I have seen Dominic's name being thrown around quite often on the incoming thread. I may well give him a shout once I settle on what watch I want to go for. The Orange bezel PO is winning at the moment but I also like the Tag Carrera Heritage range too.

It it the New liquid metal PO you are after or the old model? Personally I dont like the new model .I love the old one and i have a 42m black bezel version I got a few years ago for my 21st.Its a great day to day wearer and I highly recommend it.

The new Tag Carrera Heritage is stunning esp the time only one (non chrono) would get one but to similar to MY iWC portuguese.

Anyway I believe you can get between 14-16% cash-back with quidco online and also apply for 0% with Goldsmiths or Ernest Jones so have alook
