Buying a Watch (omega) in Lanzarote

[NorthEast]

Anyone bought an Omega when visiting Lanzarote?.
Was there last year and saw a speedy pro that seemed a good price. However I don't think they were an AD. We are going back in February and may have another look.

That man walking down the beach wasn't an AD....

Seriously - did see some pretty reasonable stuff in Tenerife a while back but the exchange rate at the time was pretty poor

Before buying it in Lanzarote look on line for internet deals and try to haggle a deal at the jewellers!

I bought my Omega Speedmaster from Beaverbrooks just over a year ago, it was priced at £1860, i found it online for £1600 and they agreed to match the deal, funny as i remember them handing me a piece of paper with the price on as they did not want any other customers to know!!!!

The wife then stung me for some diamond earrings the where on offer at you can guess £260 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the tip

The guy in Lanzarote seemed to have a good stock, and from what I remember his prices seemed sound. Will have another look when I am out there.

Thanks I will factor in a 12-15% discount factor when comparing, and see what the prices look like.

Just out of interest I emailed the Omega AD listed for Fuerteuentura and asked him for his best price for a speedypro, and he has come back with €2,390 (abt £2,100 depending on xchange rates) so a bit of a saving, but would mean some extra cost jumping the ferry for a day trip to collect it.

I'd contact Dominic H on here ( http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/profile.asp?mem... ) to see what price he can offer to you. Many of us have bought and sold watches through him. He can offer hefty discount on any model in the Omega range ... I bought my Planet Ocean through him and obtained a 20% discount

Thanks, Dom did quote me a good price a couple of years back, but as always the cash was needed elsewhere. Even now I have things that still may rquire the money- the top enf overhaul that I keep putting off

Cars, eh? I had to sort the head gasket on mine last year; There were signs that it was due to fail, so I refreshed the top end whilst everything was exposed. Expensive stuff ...

Agree about Dominic H - I've bought a couple of watches and an engagement ring from him (!), top bloke and wouldn't go anywhere else for a watch (or ring, for that matter )
