Haha, you can hire a skip you know, no need to actually buy one.

No, just more money than you.

Please don't.

I can think of a more exciting way to spend £3.5k:

Heat as OP demonstrates exceptional domain knowledge. :smile:

I was stuck between this and the Rolex AirKing... Ended up with the AirKing, but, this is a superb price!

Still about £3530 overpriced.

Haha, you can hire a skip you know, no need to actually buy one.

Sorry but air king says you can't afford a semi decent Rolex so you're better off with an omega.

ordered 2 thanks cheeky

There is a couple of sites that keeps popping up on my mobile, one sells Rolexs and another Omega for around Dollars 150.
Buyer beware and all that, but it gives the appearance of genuine and I wonder if someone bought. with a credit card, would be worth the gamble?
If it pops up again I will try and post a link.

Please don't.

If a deal sounds too good to be true, then usually it is! They will be replica watches. Certainly genuine from Ernest Jones as they are an authorised dealer.

Always liked the aqua Terra. Especially the golf edition with the green hand and brown leather strap.

Definitely the cheapest ever for a new model. Better off buying a used Rolex for the money.



You should buy a dozen, see how it goes.

good old omega. I now prefer Sinn for value though

any good rolex recommendations ?

At this price range, second hand Datejust 116200 or new OP 114300. Plenty of other older models lower than that, but they are very dated imo.

Alternatively, I would recommend a used IWC Portuguese 3714.

I've thought long and hard about this one, and I'm going to say Troll is Trolling. (_ :wink:

You are fine with air King mate . I use it and rarely my Daytona after my mate was beaten up late night for his

Good price from an AD and with 0% available.

If you aren't needing finance I would recommend some of the grey market dealers for decent discounts on new watches, not necessarily this model but watches in general.

Chronext, iconicwatches, amjwatches are some that come to mind.

I think what he meant to say is the Air King is entry level.

ah. the u1 SDR. it's my favorite watch

I don't know enough about watches in this price range to know whether it's a great deal or not (a 2017 Hamilton Khaki King with the in-house H-40 movement is the most expensive watch I own), but respect and thumbs up for posting the deal anyway :sunglasses:

If you can afford this why are you on this website trying to save pennies

Managed to get the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean from EJ two weeks ago. Love it.

£3.5k for a watch, hahaha!

Thank Christ for Casio is what I'm thinking.

The above is from the link
It would be interesting to see what you think?

When you think an iPhone cost less than 10 dollars
In parts to make and people pay £500 plus just for the brand. So could these watches be genuine?

my Sinn was a third of the price and it's water proof to 1000 meters. they really are the best value watch it there

I'm very pleased with it indeed. I've got six watches in my collection at present: a Casio F-91W I wear when I'm jogging, a Seiko SARB033 dress watch I wear on dressy occasions (finished, I might add, with the Khaki King's leather strap as I prefer using an old velcro strap with my Hamilton for a more rugged look and robust fit around my wrist) and three Fossil fashion watches I wear as the mood takes me with a choice of Nato straps as the mood takes me. My favourites are the Seiko and the Hamilton, but I reckon with the new H-40 movement, Hamilton have outdone themselves for the price point a tad more so than the Seiko and have produced a fantastic watch that's just as at home in the field or in an office with the right strap.

TGV gives it a great review here on Youtube.

That's a myth, I think the current iPhone costs around $300 to produce, certainly nothing like $10 anyway.

Besides this, Rolex/Omega are not made at the rate of half a million a shift by a tonne of minimum wage earning Chinese workers.

The watches in your link are DEFINITELY fake.

You kidding me. That much on a watch? A clock for your wrist? What about your children's future? Or the millions of people that don't even have £1 for a bit of food. If you spend this much on a watch then you've got more money than sense.

I Like a lot of Hamilton Khakis. Hope you got a genuine one if you bought used. Last year I was looking on ebay at Hamilton Khaki automatics and most were fake. Didn't see your model in there tho. If I won this Omega I'd probably sell it and get a few cheaper watched - including a few Hamiltons.

I think the normal reply to a post like yours would is "cool story bro"?

[shortcode id="19268509"/]

No, just more money than you.

There is also a 5% Cashback offer from EJ on Amex Offers. Apologies if it was mentioned in the comments earlier

Bargain, perfect for the person with more money than sense.

https://www.ernestjones.co.uk/webstore/d/3479110/tag+heuer+men%27s+stainless+steel+round+bracelet+watch/?cmCat=OVM

Personally think this Tag is much nicer!!

It looks quite nice, but it's only a TAG, they're just not up there.

most people aren't planning to go sub 1000m anytime soon

If I was you I would be spending any spare money I had on a new mobile without any adware.

Such a boring design !

I bought it new from Jura Watches as they were, and I see still are, selling the watch with 10% off with the code HMTN10 although I had to wait for them to get the H-40 version in as they were only stocking the version with the ETA movement at the time, so I'm pretty sure it's genuine. Did you buy a Khaki King yourself? I'm not sure I know enough about watches to take the gamble on Ebay myself.

Great watch. I own the aqua terra gmt chronograph. I bought it in 2013 when the £\€ rate was 1:1.41. Flew to Munich to buy it! £80 flight and a day in Germany for a £2k saving on U.K. Retail

Voted hot, good price and great way to get people with cash who want to look pretty pay more tax

Probably a better investment than putting money into a bank or building society. Heat added.

Not my cup of tea from a design perspective as I much prefer the Seamaster range but heat for a good price.

How do you think people with money to spend manage to get that money? - many will be very shrewd at bargains and money saving. I suspect many millionaires are more tight with money than you and I and I've come across some very wealthy people that buy the cheapest crap possible (plus the occasional extravagence)

Saving money on everyday things makes it possible to afford luxuries. Wise spending.

Heat for gimmick free styling. Very fresh and modern looking. Easy to wear. More of an IWC fan myself but they have too many oversized faces these days.

Nice treat for someone who isn't into cycling and doesn't have a list of bikes they 'need'. :man:

I am sure it is a beautiful watch but it does not have a girly flowery strap like my 30 bob Chinese
Designer watch or the flowery face :smiley:

if you're into watched them you will know that they made Bell & Ross

I'm sharing a deal with fellow members on the site, is that not the whole point of hotukdeals? After looking for a particular style of watch to add to my collection, I wanted to share the deal so others could benefit too.

I believe it could be considered a classic design.

As a reformed cycling addict, I can empathise with you! Still very much into cycling but don't spend as much on it as I used to!

\x0d\x0aHAHAHAHA \x0d\x0a\x0d\x0aahem

Bell and Ross was 'set up' in 1992, and they had someone else make their watches for them (Sinn, as you say). In my view, that's a marketing company, not a luxury watch manufacturer.

One step up from Armani branded watches and the like.

By jove that's it! Genius. A Grandfather Clock .. but on my wrist! Thank you for clearing that up.

IWC at that price point use ETA movement which I personally could never live with. It's a bit like Rolex Air King. Jaeger Lecoultre or some of the Grand Seiko's (I know but they are ace) would be my choice.

No way near as good as my Rolex Speedmaster. It's got an atomic clock inside it and will stay accurate for a million years. This one will probably gain or lose time every day.

I think all those microwaves from your atomic clock have frazzled your brain.

My watch cost me £6.....

What amazes me about this post, is how hot it is. If someone posts an equally expensive piece of audio equipment, it get so cold your nads fall off.

OK, I also have a couple of other watches, a Carnival mechanical watch and a Skagen, the total cost of which would be a rounding error in the price of this "object", that looks like a cheap Timex "Dress" watch.

I love the "more money than sense" comments.

The site is about saving money, whether you are buying a £2 travel plug adaptor or a 60K car. Every time someone posts an item that's out of someone's price bracket people get labelled as a thunderc*nt for spending X amount of money on something "that's just a clock for your wrist".

Millionaires are tight. You don't get to the top without being shrewd, personal item buying included.

Poor people live like they are rich and rich people live like they are poor.

Luxury items cater for the enthusiasts and the people that have made it - Once you have a nice house/car/computer/future investments and have money in the bank what is left to spend money on? A good watch can be considered an investment (although you should never view a watch as an investment) and can potentially turn out to be a bit of shrewd business. With interest rates where they are, money is almost pointless sat in the bank.

Omega's in this price range are a popular watch choice and this is a good price. Just quit at the sly digs at people when clearly you do not understand the other side of the fence.

Reality Check. what do you need a watch for ? Tell the time?. is this any more accurate than one 10th or even 100th of the price- No. so why do you need one. personally I'd prefer to spend my money on something that potentially I was going to get mugged for and was an asset not a liability.

You must have known that your post would get the reaction it did?
I would agree with what the others said; don't buy from those sites.
However, don't completely rule out replica watches. I have original luxury watches and a few replicas and the replicas are amazing quality, provided you do your research and buy from a trusted seller.
No, they're not 1:1 in most cases, but some are very close.
Some even share OEM parts with the originals.
The watches I'm talking about are streets ahead of the "copy" watches that can be had in most parts of Asia, or from some dodgy dude on a beach somewhere.
I have an IWC and a Breitling that I cherish like they were originals. For me, the beauty is captured in these replicas perfectly. It doesn't bother me one bit that they're not OEM. The weight, the look, the smell of the strap, the movement are all close enough for me without forking out over £10k for each.
Think of it as buying a slightly imperfect print of your favourite painting.
Expect to pay in the region of $250-$300 for one. If you're happy paying that for a "fake", then my advice would be to start your research. It can be heavy going at first and the replica watch forum members are often reluctant to help out newbies, but pesevere and you will succeed in the end.
I will supply you one link to get you started, here .
However, be aware, that replica collecting can become addictive and expensive, especially if you get into the modding scene. That said, it's no doubt much cheaper than buying originals.
Good luck.

Why are they so expensive??

Heat for the decent discount

Please keep in mind the movement in this watch is chronometer certified and has a 4 year warranty. Therefore anything outside the parameters of -4 to +6 seconds per day would be a failure and subsequently will result in a warranty claim. In my opinion this is acceptable when you consider there's 86,400 in a day!

What would the resell value be for this?

Say what?!?!

Some of it is a rip off, the price of a rubber strap for this watch will be round £700, which is just mental. Price charged for gold content is mental. Man hours involved to make the movement is considerable, and that's where the bulk of the understandable cost should be. Watchmakers aren't working for £30 an hour. I have a watch that costs £500 - £1000 to service. :disappointed: . I just don't do it as regularly as they would suggest.

You can certainly get more accurate digital watches, that's undeniable. Automatic watches appeal to me as I have an appreciation for the workmanship and engineering that have gone into creating such a timepiece. Yes, cheaper alternatives are available, conversely more expensive options are also available, there's something out there for everyone. We are all different and if we were all the same, life would be rather mundane!

I have quite a few watches, each evoking a different memory, some marking occasions and some in remembrance of people who are no longer with us, some just because I like them!

I can't understand why you would want to spend money on something that you would potentially get mugged for? Back to my point, we're all different!

Not a very nice looking watch but great price so heat added

as a watch enthusiast this is a great deal. however the 41.5mm for a dress watch is slightly on the big side though I have 7.35 inch wrists. if 39-40mm would have been seriously interested.

I'd rather the watch than the car! Thats an 15 year old car, it doesn't echo excitement to me! The price of the car is £3500 but whats the cost of running and maintaining.

Speaking of your children's future - a high end watch can actually be a good investment for your children if you choose the right model. Personally I would love to inherit a 'pepsi cola' Rolex! I could wear it - enjoy it - but have a very valuable asset for the future. Maybe even my kids?

I managed to track down the site you're talking about, and I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole. A genuine Omega factory shop won't be using a misspelling of the word "Shop" for starters. They also won't be advertising using spam emails or texts. The copyright at the bottom says "2015-2017", but the domain was only registered on 1st June 2017. The page itself is far too simplistic to be a reputable and professional store.

If you buy from them, you will get 2 things out of the deal: Your credit card details will be handed over, voluntarily, by you, to a criminal gang (I wouldn't be surprised if you receive a follow up email requiring you to provide additional identity verification before your item can be shipped), and if you're lucky, you'll get a horrifically cheap replica that you can probably pick up for about £50 elsewhere.

If you want a replica watch for the sort of price they're charging, do some research into the replica market. There's a whole community surrounding it, and good quality replicas can be had for a pretty decent price. But don't buy from what is quite clearly a scam outfit.

What a ridiculous comment. If you are not interested in the watch why are you reading and commenting.

Obscene amount of money for a watch. No thanks.

For somebody who is 'into watches' and who hadn't heard of Sinn you suddenly are an expert! I have a Seamaster too but since buying the U1 I barely wear it.

In red, without the V8 engine? No thanks, plus don't forget that Mercs of this era are prone to rust. I'd rather have the watch.

Em, i've got a way better looking Chopard racing watch for sale, used but in great shape and as new is £7090, i'm selling it for £3850 which is a decent discount all day long. Also Chopard made the most expensive watch ever

If you are looking at the watch as in investment then buying a rolex might make more financial sense, but if it is a treat rather than an investment, buy whatever watch speaks to you.

It was meant to be a light-hearted comment cheeky

Looks like they've sold out! Did anyone else on here buy one?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

I believe the title for most expensive watch goes to Graff for their Diamonds Hallucination watch $55,000,000!

Isn't it nice to have the choice of spending £5 or £5000 for a watch? it's totally optional just like buying a £10 phone or an iphone7

That's the free market for you. Those whining might consider the delights of North Korea where communism is still in full swing and working out great with fixed prices and 1 watch model to choose from.

Can the moderators close this please as the retailer has sold out?

Even rich people try to save money, how do you think they stay rich?

****, And I've just bought a Cartier Santos

I'm on to save pennies on anything I can afford, I can afford a BMW but I drive a Dacia which does the same job, I have 2 expensive watches but I wear a Samsung Gear 3 or a Seiko, saving pennies on this site allows me more luxuries than if I had to pay full price for everything, and I've also been able to buy things I didn't know I needed because I didn't know they existed. going through this site has shown me that there are many people using this site in the same position as me, and I hope you can learn something from this and other posts answering your question.

nice looking watch I have to say.
nice and simple face

That's why I like it too, simple, functional and understated.

You are a thundercu*t.

The value of money is based on a person to person basis. A £3500 pound watch down from £5000 to a millionaire is nothing, while £3500 to the majority of people is absolutely huge.

Posting. HOHOHOHO I GOT MY £5000 watch for just a mere £3000 Pounds! is a di*k move.

Stay silent and buy your goods, just don't go rubbing your wealth, or commenting, in the face of people who need to work 3-4 months of a full payslip to get what takes you a few minutes to earn and spend.

It's you who doesn't see the other side of the fence. HotUKDeals shouldn't let comments like these slide. Stay quiet, or say thanks, move on.

People are allowed to spend what they want on whatever they want, they don't require your approval.

Nothing more exciting than an automatic!

Omega excluded from cashback on TopCashback.

Decent price... But it's just a really boring design. Much prefer the Planet Ocean Seamaster personally.

If you're solely buying a watch as an investment with a goal to make money long term then there's only two options you should be looking at - nearly anything made by Patek Phillipe or a steel Rolex Submariner/Daytona - also be looking to buy gently used or as-new but not brand new. Every other Rolex is hit or miss and they fall into and out of fashion over time. There's things like the Air King, Explorer II and Milgauss that practically nobody wants and things like the Day-Date which had massive popularity in the 80's but not so much now. The Explorer I was a standard classic choice in the past but these days nobody seems to care about it and you never see them out and about. I see 5 or more Submariners a day at work in steel or two-tone plus the occasion Daytona, yet have never seen another Rolex model in the last 3 years.

The Submariner and Daytona have always been the solid choice.

If you're buying Omega, the Speedmaster is practically the only one that actually retains its value (not quite as well as the mentioned Rolex's, but close enough) most other Omega's just tank in value. If you're buying an Omega that isn't the Speedmaster you need to be getting it at like 30-40% off RRP or something to ensure you don't lose your money if you sell it.

I prefer Omega out of the two and it's what I collect, I think they're more innovative on the whole and the designs more varied. Rolex rely way too much on industry firsts from the past and take about 30 years to update their watches with minor changes.

That and every person I've had to deal with that was wearing one was a massive t**t.

Didn't notice that, I purchased via Quidco so hopefully it will be honoured.

Yep, that's correct, the first two positions are for graff diamonds, third is for Breguet and forth for Chopard with their 210carat diamond watch. And about comparing omega and chopard i would say that chopard are a way higher level and respected brand than omega.

I paid 850 for my seamaster automatic in 1999. I have spent about £400 on it. it looks almost new. I could sell it for what I paid for it on eBay. maybe a bit more. but I didn't buy it to make money (or to lose money)! I bought it because I liked it

I do like my timepieces but I've found that the majority of compliments come for my G shock lol

At least you've learned something new today about the most expensive watches in the world! Although I'm sure there'll still be some very obscure custom creations out there costing more which have been commissioned buy the super rich!

Thanks for sharing your views and drawing a comparison between Omega and Chopard.

I paid £1,000 for my full sized Seamaster Automatic in 2002 and sold it for £1,100 about 10 years later, didn't even get it serviced! I actually regret selling it though and wish I'd kept it!

I was going to sell mine but I couldn't bring myself to do it!

I get why people would spend money on a nice watch.

No different to people spending money on nice golf clubs, a nice bike, nice car, or nice whatever else.

I think the investment comments are a bit of a stretch. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure in some scenarios that can be, but I suspect for many it's a distant tertiary factor, if really not an attempted blag in justification.

I say don't try to justify. People spend money on all sorts of things, and most are rank, fecking hypocrites.

I also think like with many high-brow items, people splurge a little beyond their true wealth, more for image and to look more affluent than they truly are - but that's far from being specific to just watches.

For me, personally, image is nothing, quality, function and performance matter. My upper spend on a watch would be Seiko Astron or Oceanus with similar GPS time sync. I like my watches always ready, always exact time and date, just ready to pick-up and wear, no muss, no fuss.

But that's just me, just because somebody has differing priorites and desires doesn't make them wrong, nor me for that matter.

OOS

Please let me buy this from you, it sounds like a dreamy deal.

I've gone back to 35mm photography and the used camera prices are rocketing up. Who'd have thought...

It's a nice watch but I already have a much nicer one with sentimental value. My grandfather smuggled it out of a prison camp in 'Nam.

Goal of a watch is to know the time!!!! Can a £5 watch do that great job as this £5000 piece would do???

Comes to something when discerning thieves won't get out of bed for anything less than a Daytona.

Actually it could do a lot better if it's digital and the battery is charged.In fact you only need your mobile phone to tell the time.

It's like saying don't buy a Ferrari when you can't do over 30mph on most roads.

Definitely better off keeping it in my opinion!

Just had a look at Sinn watches and can't find anything to justify £1,000 +, they don't exude quality even if it is behind the watch face, and I can't see them as an investment either.

Worst looking Omega I have ever seen, looks cheap and nasty.

Your post is a little disjointed as no watch has an atomic clock inside but has by means of radio waves can get the time from one of the world atomic clocks. Was you talking tongue in cheek?

Never before have I heard something so daft. If it's a pop up, or an ad in your face, it's usually a scam. Did you also know there are single women in your area looking to hook up?

Let's be honest pal, who actually does 30? Other than Peugeot drivers and Honda Jazz owners.

Horses for courses

plus my 'cheap' Sinn keeps better time than my chronometer

I have a Planet Ocean and a Seiko 5. The Seiko 5 is good for a couple of seconds a day. The PO wasn't that good even after I had it serviced and the service cost more than the Seiko 5!

You can buy rubber straps for less than £15 off amazon or eBay.

Lol, yeah right. The watch isn't a few pennies saved here and there, it is thousands. Plus I think you'll find nobody really saves money from this site. :wink:

"Poor people live like they are rich and rich people live like they are poor."

Not just a ridiculous generalisation, but complete BS. For every poor person living like they are rich (how can you do that anyway if you are genuinely poor) you will find far more living poor because they are! And most rich people I know don't live in some cheap flat driving an old banger and shops in Primark. Perhaps the rare recluse but most live in a wealthy manner.

Utter codswallop.

3530 + insurance else you wouldn't take it out the house bit out of my price range.

To quote DA "Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying ........."

WTF£3.5k for watch!

Is it a wind up?

the watch u could do...the insurance puts it out of reach :wink:

The problem here is 'will a year be exactly the same length of time in a million years as it is today? .... doubtful! and do also remember "moving clocks go slow" and we are currently traveling at approximately 67,000mph.

l sure hope you spent no more the a grand on your car then (y'know all cars do the same thing drive from A to B). Hopefully you spent all the dosh you spent on say a nice spec BMW on helping the poor.

I'll probably only live until my 70s or so, so that would be wasted on me.

I looked them up last time you took the opportunity to tell us all you had one... :smiley:

That sounds just like my Mrs :smiley:

You need to get some new mates! :wink:

Because people who have accumulated wealth haven't done so by spending money like a fool!

What a dumb comment!
Firstly in this case it is far from pennies!
But do you not think people with a few more pounds dont like to also save a few quid?

If it was anything like the Omega I once had it was the worst car ever ...as to £3.5k for a stainless steel watch I can only comment ,..."There's one born every minute"!!!

If you got 3.5 k to spend on a watch should you really need to get a deal for that because obviously your already loaded/rich enough to buy it at full price which is probably peanuts to you too!

You are right!!!
If status is considered, i think no one gives a s*** whether I drive Ferrari or a junk... they will see it for few seconds and then they will forget it at the next minute...

is it one mention of a product a year here?

Ok I must be missing something here.
£3k on a watch!!
I'm not hard up but seriously what a waste of money.

One weird watch

Hublot MP-05 LAFERRARI APERTA

over priced gadget to check your constraint of a concept called time.

OK back to school boy. First this is just 30% sale so it's not really a big deal. Really reach people living cheaper then poor. As average agency or part time worker u pay 50% of your money for accommodation, then 20-30 % for food plus bills and so on and on.They living in dept and there is no easy way out. It's life for rent, and yes lot of them try to live over theirs financial possibilities just because they wanna feel better. Al of us buy lot of s*** cos marketing massage us to take loans, buy 2017 model cos 2016 is such a last year.As rich person u living in house owned by your company for tax savings or it house bought by family or u just own network of hotels or rent houses and people pay to you, same for car and so on. You visiting parties where are omegas given as free gift to visitors and you talk to people whose leading countries and saving your moneys. Tell me how many % you spend on accommodation, food and transport if you have £100000 a month? You never heard money make more money? They buy paintings, cars, houses to sell it later for 50-100% more. You buy phone for £700 pounds and if you are lucky u sell it for £100 in few years. So yes they living cheaper then poor chap. And by the way it's generaliZation

1. Thank you Harah for informative post on different model of watches.

2. Re Luke4efc post, I also get emails from
some Nigerian who wants to put a Million Pounds in my bank account!

Floyd Mayweather owns one.

I doubt he could tell the time on it.

Though I doubt he could tell the time period, to be honest
(pacquiao fan!).

Is that incoherent waffle suppose to support the asinine assertion that "poor people live like they are rich and rich people live like they are poor."
And as for your pathetic put down about "back to school boy" it is you that patently need to go back. I love it when some smug bloke tries to be a smart-arse but shoots themselves in the foot and instead comes over as a dumb-arse.

"And by the way it's generaliZation". No it isn't, that is the American spelling. In British English it is generalisation. So back to school for you boy. :smile:

Of course not mate, you are free to bring it into the conversation at every opportunity. The only problem is you are flogging a dead horse, nobody is going to choose a Sinn over a Rolex or an Omega - at best you may convert someone about to buy a Christopher Ward.

Thank you. I take thundercu*t as a compliment :smiley:

Can you tell me where you go the idea that I was rich, or the fact I have spend £3k on a watch, rubbing my wealth in, earning £3K in a few minutes from my post?

I didn't think so, but do feel free to continue the complements based on absolutely no knowledge of the truth.


Finance.


I'm not talking about lifestyle, i'm talking about "saving a few quidd" buying habits.

Whilst you can call BS, and whilst I phrased it slightly differently its clearly not BS: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Poor+people+live+like+they+are+rich+and+rich+people+live+like+they+are+poor&client=ubuntu&hs=sCU&channel=fs&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjZqK63w-vUAhVFJMAKHWHVCXkQ_AUICigB&biw=2560&bih=1300

In his ass?!

Cheers mate. I'm keen to enlighten people here like yourself who are perhaps less knowledgeable about watches (those who haven't heard of Sinn or Junghans for example) that there are other options out there. With the same quality at a lesser price.

Still not got a Hamilton. I was at first interested in them on ebay but something didn't look right so I did a bit of research and it seems all the Hammys with the tire tread strap are fakes. Main giveaways were the lume positioning, lume blob size and the quality of the etching / engraving and some aspects of the movement which I'm hazy on now but funnily enough most shots have the pendulum weight of the automatic covering this up (basically regulation and mount of the main jewel - the name of which escapes me at the mo). The number of fakes on there is alarming . Subsequently people started selling Hamilton faces that looked really good, so at that point I stopped looking. Keep meaning to join a watch forum and get a genuine used watch. Trouble is, I like quite a few!

EDIT Incabloc!

For me watches are not just about telling the time. I actually like getting one of my cheap manual wind watches, winding it, setting the time (without a hack), and wearing it. It will drift a minute or two a day has no lume, no day, no date, but *shrug* I like to know I'm wearing a little marvel of mini engineering on my wrist, as I see it, rather than my Casio that is LCD, has a back light, updates every night, has various functions like stopwatch and time in Lisbon.

Come on, showing some gifs does not make it true. Just a phrase without any real evidence at all. Yes some poor people take finance to live beyond their means, but most don't, and those that do, do not make themselves rich. They buy a more expensive TV or car or even a watch but they are hardly living as if they are rich. I know and see the wealthy in my life and the majority have big expensive houses and smart expensive cars, they don't live poorly. As I said , a BS argument based on an ill supported phrase that sounds good but is vacuous. Most poor people live poorly and most rich people live richly, not the opposite.

And btw, if someone can afford an expensive watch and wishes to own one, then good luck to them. My only argument was on the ignorant phrase you used.

This is the point -->.








You are around about here-->


Phrase being the operative word. You cant call BS on a phrase that actually exists weather you agree with it or not.

That's a bit unrealistic mate - I don't think we'll ever reach a point where we have the technology to create a watch that can tell us the time in Lisbon :smiley::smiley:

I really could have bought two with what I'm. paying in solicitor fee's .

I absolutely love the comments on this site when I 'big ticket' item get's listed. "More money than sense", "You could buy a ???? for the same money", "What about your kids future?", "What about all the starving kids in Africa?".

This a cracking deal if a.) you like to collect nice watches and b.) it suits your taste, sadly i'm not keen on it but it is a cracking deal. Would I spend 3.5k on a £5k watch I liked, hell yes! What about my kids future? Well I'm sure he won't be complaining when the collection I worked incredibly hard for get handed down to him in the years to come.

Well not knocking anyone for spending what they want ,sure its expensive but thats up to individual choice but I do have to say though that if this watch did not have a brand name it would just be a typical boring standard watch , I am not knocking anyones choice but just my instant observation ! :man:

Sorry, but how many ''poor'' people u really know? Where start poverty for you?

When i hit 60 remind me of this deal!

Good find and a decent saving which is what this site is all about.
Prefer the Planet Ocean tho but heat added

Totally different. A watch is there to tell the time and looks nice. If it stops working it's not really going to affect your life in any considerable way.

A car is a large hunk of metal carrying you at high speeds, higher costs are usually synonymous with build quality, reliability and safety. Spending more than £1k on a car is probably quite a good idea if you need to make sure you can always get to work without the worry of breaking down and having to fork out £600 for the subsequent repairs.

It's also a good idea to spend more than £1k if you value the safety of yourself & your family on the roads.

The fact you are comparing the expense of a car, to a watch, just highlights your stupidity further.

There are much better ways to invest money for your childrens future.

Freedom of speech pal - if you don't like my comment, then why are you replying to it?

Yes, indeed they can spend money on what they like! Never said they couldn't.
I could spend £5000 on a spoon if I wanted, but that would make me pretty daft, wouldn't it?
It can say a lot about a person depending on where they draw that line between a worthwhile spend and a daft spend.

But it does have a brand name. And that brand name has come about from years of development to produce a high quality stylish product and is able to command a higher price.

You can get watches for under £300 that look smart and will last you a lifetime.
Are you a master diver? The Omega SM is build around it's ability to go very deep underwater.
If you ain't an avid diver - then surely this is a waste of money.

"I bought a £50,000 phone that can survive in outer space!"
"are you going to outer space"
"no, but it's still really good!"
"other than going into space, it can do nothing than my phone can't"
"yeah but it will be worth a lot in future"
"well then invest in property/business/stocks you dullard, not trinkets"

Was there a reason why you quoted my post?

But not necessarily one they will enjoy as much... for example, if my father left me a high end Rolex, I would enjoy using it, it would remind of him and still be a tangible asset I could pass in or sell myself.

Each to their own, but given my current financial situation, I would love to inherit an expensive watch!

What about if the £50,000 phone turned out to be limited in supply like the NES mini and doubled in value?

then it will be worth £100000! What do I win?

As this is sold out, there's a similar deal on a GMT Aqua Terra, I was tempted by this too but ultimately went with the Day Date -


Ernest Jones Omega AT GMT

Was £5200, now £3535

Please Be AWARE!!
I ordered an Omega Seamaster at a steal of a price @ £3650.00
When the watch came it was used and the box was dirty and damaged.
After a very strong complaint, I only got a refund as the watch was 'no longer available!'
I am still crying over it as it was one of my two dream watches.

Sounds like a big letdown! Which retailer was that from?

Same thing happened to me when buying from TH Baker and they didn't deal with it very well at all, I got a refund but they weren't very apologetic. It was in the wrong box too!

I also bought another watch from Ernest Jones earlier this year, similar story being ex-display but the way they dealt with was excellent, completely different experience! I got an even better deal off a more expensive watch as they couldn't source a replacement for the original.

I actually saw this deal before seeing here and ordered. After the 'place your order' page I got a message to say that transaction was complete but for security reasons (or something like that) there was no further detail.

I was surprised not to receive an email confirming my order and then a little more surprised to have an email saying there was an item in my basket and would I like to complete. By Sunday, and not receiving an email I thought something may be wrong but customer services do not open on Sunday.

In short I rang today, to be told there were issues and my order didn't go through (and I certainly didn't want to risk ordering a 2nd when I was told transaction complete) but that often there can be stock in the stores even though the website will be out of stock.

They checked their stock levels and there was one at Gatwick Airport which they could transfer to a local store for collection. As my nearest store is about 2 hours away and I am a believer of if things aren't meant to be they just aren't I said I would leave it.

Anyway, if anyone really wants this watch then I would suggest you call customer services as it may still be available. Of course might have gone, but worth a try.

I'm still a little gutted, really fancied the watch and spent a good couple of hours convincing myself it was for me.

Sure there will be other opportunities in the future!

My first attempt to order didn't go though either but it was because my bank stopped the payment, my bank got in touch to verify and I confirmed the transaction was genuine, I was told to wait 10 minutes and try again which I did, then the payment was authorised.

I'm sure something will come up again soon!

Back in Stock. Ordered

Bargain.
Bought 5

Have you got yours yet Cuffy?

Nope. Twice ordered and cancelled.
Obviously wasn't meant to be.

Not so good! I'm still waiting on mine, received an email to say it was despatched on Monday (which wasn't the case), chased several times and they still can't tell me when it will arrive!
