I can't answer your question for you but I can say that you are a plonker for selling such a lovely watch to buy a Breitling!
So I did it for the second time, flipped my SMP on and got a Breitling.
Stupid idea, and I have learnt my lesson and want my Bond back!
It was this http://www.goldsmiths.co.uk/product/ome ... 0412001003
BUT, I've just spotted this http://www.goldsmiths.co.uk/product/ome ... 0412003001
and having already owned this
in the past, I really like the blue.
Which one would you go for?
Second question, will Goldsmiths take offers with finance or is it a case of having to pay the asking price?
I have the cash but at 0% there's not much point laying out all that cash if I can get the same deal with finance?
HELP!
:P

I've done it twice now as well!
Black.
For that kind of money - I'd be looking at a mint vintage Omega, or two!
Go and haggle then inform them you want to use the finance option , at worse they can say no,i thought you had to be offered the same deal however you where financing your purchase? , if you can get a reasonable reduction for pound notes it will be worth paying outright as the interest on banked money is very low atm ,
BLUE!!! but I have one so would say that 8)
Black without a doubt but i wouldn't buy one of these as i don't like the bracelets.
I'd go for the blue if buying @ full RRP, I think it would be more scalable if you change your mind (again) :-).
I've never got a discount and 0% finance from Goldsmiths despite trying :? I personally wouldn't pay a premium for a co axial version, they just don't do it for me.
On 0% I had to pay the asking price when I bought my Speedy so I think you're stuck with list. To join in with the others, fancy selling an SMP to get aB'ling. I kept mine and still bought a B'ling as well - can never have too many watches :lol:
Blue on a Zulu for me 8)Originally Posted by Billyloves2boogie
Prefer the silver bezel version with sword hands - but I'd still get vintage any day :wink:
Depends which one; I'd kick that Seamaster out of bed in a heartbeat if the watch in question was a Steelfish, or even just the regular rider-tabbed Superocean TBH. But I would not trade a Seamaster for most of their new output.Originally Posted by Foxy100
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
Take consolation in the fact that if you keep the Breitling long enough for it to need a service you'll get an experience with Breitling UK that makes Omega (Swatch) look like a bunch of work experience interns have worked on your watch.
You "should" be able to get a better deal for cash than finance. It typically costs the AD 15-20% of the asking price as a fee to the finance company. They make much more money selling the watch to you for cash compared to finance. You will need to haggle.
No point in calling you a plonker again, it's already been done :)
Re. the finance, my guess is you'll either get good discount or finance.....but not both. A bit like asking for't spice an't ha'penny....an old Yorkshire saying I grew up with.
Haggle like hell, they need to sell stuff and it's tough out there in retail-land.
Good luck,
Well, don't do it again, eh!! :DOriginally Posted by AMB
Daddel.
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
I find Goldsmiths hard to deal with too big a chain, best to find a Independent authorized Omega dealer and talk to them I think you will get 15%-25% off
Go blue - its gorgeous :)
I love them, very comfortable!Originally Posted by Billyloves2boogie
You think I should save the cash and go for the Quartz?Originally Posted by cessna152
NO!!!! Are there any of the non co axial automatics around anymore? I have seen them floating around on SC for less than £1KOriginally Posted by AMB
I say Blue! :D
Just checking, because it isn't happening! Haha.Originally Posted by adesmith
Rarely and a vgc is going to be from £1k up imho - I think £1k is cheap as chips for say a 2531 and you get a lot of watch.Originally Posted by adesmith
It's just a matter of time...
There is a Bond 2531 on the Fitzrovia Watches site for£995 it's from 2002 but it looks in lovely condition.
