One for watch fans/collectors only - Montblanc Timewalker Chrono, rrp £3730, now £1865 on Ernest Jones plus interest free credit up to 4 years; works out at £186.50 down and then £34.97 per month for 48 months (variations possible); plus a potential 7% Quidco.
There is a code for 10% off sale items, but that removes the interest free credit option (well it did for me) making it a straight £1678.50, possibly less with Quidco.
Code is EJGSXC10, 10% off sale items.
Please don't vote cold because your £5 Casio from the petrol station tells the time no different to this; we know that and if that's the way we all felt we'd wear/drive/eat ........ etc the same of everything. It's a beautiful watch, but I fully accept only if you're into watches - if you're not move along nothing to see here.

If you need to take 4 year finance for a watch, you should probably rethink your life.

At least you can stare glumly at the watch to countdown the time to the next repayment. :smiley:

Even if you have the cash in the bank, it's better to take the finance at 0%. You can still earn interest on your savings whilst it's sat with you. Also, if you consider inflation, in real terms you end up paying less back over 4 years.

Montblanc watches seem to be quite underrated. Yes the mechanisms are not made in-house but very stylish elegant time-pieces.
Great reduction although watch is not to my taste.

Yeah that was with the discount code applied

Pooh, I can't get it to work - every time I try it applies the discount but takes off the interest free :disappointed:

Don't really buy into fashion at all myself, but if it's half the price it normally is, then it looks like a hot deal :smiley:

Why not make the most of the 0%...
seanieb87 to BenderRodriguez
5 Jan 162#27
It's only 35 pounds a month so why not? There's people that can't afford to pay for it upfront but may want a nice watch. Some people would rather spend more money a week on cigarettes!

If it's interest free and you dont take credit option, you should probably go back to school

Good looking timepiece, but never really considered MontBlanc as a watchmaker.
We have 3 RADO watches from there - 1 x ladies and 2 x mens. Really like the materials, style and craftsmanship. Obviously you can get a decent discount instore, plus the service has been great (strap adjustments, replacement batteries, manuals, etc.).
Certainly looks a genuinely good sale though. Thanks for the heads-up.

At the rrp I'd rather have a speedmaster or something with similarly impressive heritage.
But I'm poor so my £240 Japanese import Seiko is certainly better than 48 repayments. :-)

Voted HOT.. I currently have nearly £550 x3 of clubcard vouchers that I'm saving to get an Omega from Goldsmiths.. I'm seriously thinking of getting this instead
TN567 to KERMITZBITZ
5 Jan 161#25
Id personally save for the omega myself bud, but each to their own
stanic to KERMITZBITZ
5 Jan 16#28
You cant use the clubcard points on sales items from Goldsmiths cause this is what i am doing saving up my points for a watch, complete rubbish cant use on sale items though
seanieb87
5 Jan 161#29
Exactly. Even if I had the money laying around I would still go for the 0% finance tbh
KERMITZBITZ

I know that.. Goldsmiths Vouchers used to be x4 value as well once.. But I will persevere.

I'm not doubting you, but would you gain more over the four years than if you used the 10% off code?

Yes, of course you would! many banks offering 5% on current a/cs per annum. Can you work out the Maths??

Classy watch
Besford
5 Jan 16#40
I agree - though my Speedmaster (only 'expensive' watch I've ever owned - 50th b'day present) loses about 3min/day and Omega want £450 to service it!!!!
thearbiter65
5 Jan 16#41
I'd do the same. Omega are in a different league.
TN567
5 Jan 16#42
Wow thats awful mate, 3 minutes a day, surely you can argue the toss saying its faulty. £450 for a service is steep
Get 2 seikos like mine instead :innocent:

5 Jan 16#43
Would you not be better off buying a collectable second hand watch?
Besford to winchman
5 Jan 16#45
They go UP in value. Mine was £1200 in 2002, latest equivalent £3k plus and mine would probably fetch close to that.
Cthomas957
5 Jan 16#44
Well you'd earn aprox £112 in interest over the 4 years on the money towards the payments in the bank, vs a saving a of aprox £186 using the discount code. Who needs to go back to school?
Besford
5 Jan 16#46
Well, it's not new (2002 in fact) but started off at about 30secs/day and has gradually got worse. They have you over a barrel on the servicing as all official agents will quote about the same (and you lose the watch for about 6 weeks). They actually recommend servicing every 2 years too! It's special to me but it's a mugs game really and people who collect these watches need certifying :wink:.

Fine if you actually have the cash - but how many do?

Great looking watch but given price reduction of £1865 have to question RRP. must still be making a profit at this price , so what exactly is this costing them . mark up seems astrinomical

All jewellery has at least 100% mark up, that's just the way it is:(
