Omega Seamaster 300m - Discounts / Best Deals

[sagarich]

I'm in the market for a Seamaster 300m - 212.30.41.20.03.001

This will be my first "proper" watch purchase and I'm just wondering what kind of realistic discounts others have managed to negotiate.

I've seen a few online retailers selling for £2.1k ish... but unsure how trustworthy these places are. I would prefer to purchase via the high street if possible.

Any thoughts and experiences appreciated.

I'd check Iconic Watches as well; they're just over £2135.

Thanks, I've seen the Iconic watches deal. Has anyone dealt with them in the past?

I may be wrong but I got the impression that they source there stock from overseas, Not that it makes any difference to the product I guess but the watch I was interested in looked to have come from the middle east.

I wonder if that makes any difference for warranty claims etc?

Has anyone managed to get one of the big high street chains to price match Iconic or similar?

I did forget to show it to the customs bods at the airport.
Conveniently remembered when I left the airport car park. Couldn't go back by then...

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions.

My earmarked Seamaster fund seems to now be going on conveyancing fees...

So purchase delayed, but all recommendations have been noted.

So, it's been nearly 3 years since I started this thread and with my 30th next week it's long overdue getting a seamaster on my wrist.

I'm not convinced by the new Seamaster launched at Baselworld last month, it think it looks a bit fussy and the new waves don't look quite right.

It seems that prices have crept a few hundred since I was last looking, however with the new model inbound I'm looking for a deal. Where should I be looking and what kind of discount should I be aiming for?

Thanks, I saw that earlier in the week... but the strap looked quite scuffed. I will drop them an email later for more info though. Thanks.

Contacted Dom H last week, he’s on the case for me. Hurrah!

This arrived in the post this morning, very pleased indeed. Dom H sorted me out and was an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Back here now, actually want a Seamaster 300 now in blue. Was going to get second hand but fancy a brand new one now.

Anybody managed to get a discount from dealers such as Ernest Jones, Goldsmiths etc or that a no go?

Give DH a call, he will sort you out.
