Yeh its quite nice but I think this shows a bit more class in a business meeting :smile:

I'm not here to show off but rather help people finding a hotukdeal. This post is an area that is my vice in life, premium watches.

This watch does have a huge discount and if you like it, you can't go wrong at this price. Buy It.

However, for those that think because of the discount, a profit can be easily made whether immediate resale or increase in value over the years, you are wrong.

I don't think you would even get £4,000 for this watch as a brand new unworn straight sale to a watch trader.

Whilst a lot of the general public think that a £8k rrp watch is WTF there are many more expensive watches out there of different brands.

Looking at well known High Street brands mentioned in this thread, I would rank the brands like this:

TAG- 4-6/10
Omega- 5-7/10
Rolex- 7-10/10

As to retained value, the 'ONLY' watch that you can buy brand new at a high street shop today that has any chance of retaining value (whilst taking into account inflation) is a Rolex, and even then you have to choose carefully which model.

I'm not going to comment on vintage models as this is not the origin of this deal, it's for a brand new discounted Omega.

Ultimately, you should always buy a watch because you like it and want it. If it does retain value, then you got lucky. But with careful choices you can get a premium watch for free.... My personal experience.... I purchased at brand new Stainless Steel Black face Oyster bracelet Rolex Datejust in 2000. After discount (yes, you got discount on Rolex in those days) it cost me £1250. I sold it to a watch dealer last month for £2000. The watch was worn daily for the first few years then alternated with my other watches. Condition is good for age, but as I said before, after a Rolex Service, will look like new.

Taking into account inflation, at worse I broke even. At best I made some money, maybe enough a decent meal. But at the time, I did not buy the watch with this in mind. I just wanted a Rolex. So in reality I got to use a Rolex for free for 17years.

Do I have Omega? Yes, I do, one I bought in 2004, Omega Speedmaster Broad arrow in White face.

Has it gained money.....Not really. But I reckon it is just about breaking even because I got it very cheap (wholesale price at the time) If I had paid retail or shop discounted, I would definitely be down.

Am I pi$$ed it hasn't gained value.... Not really, because I bought it because I like it.

And that is the Conclusion:

The OP posted the watch at a very good discount. And it has done what I would expect..... to gain good heat.

The debate versus Rolex, Plastic, Casio.... Rich on HUKD... just makes the thread annoying. So annoying in fact that I have spent time to try and answer some of the questions raised on this thread.

Wouldn't it be great if HUKD can just be a place to share deals.....

An internet pic I found of my Omega.

many billionaires who wear very cheap watches i would not judge someone on the watch or car they drive period.

don't care about the 'we can afford it' etc. brigade. it's a watch, it tells time. no matter how much money you've got, if you're willing to spend 8 grand on something that tells time - you are a tit.

Really good price. This one will hold good value as well.

Well done that man! Cheapest I've ever seen it.
Now if you can find me a standard 42mm moon watch at a heavy discount I will love you forever. True story.

9.45% topcashback too, seriously considering buying this.

Hot for the discount drop, but wow this price and only a fabric strap...rich ppl toys lol

I'll take 10

These are my favourite deals on here because you get all the poor people on here making ridiculous comments about how expensive this watch is and you can buy much cheaper watch brand or people got more money than sense etc etc etc. :laughing:

Its only £5 on ebay flirt

Meanwhile back in the real world, British disabled are confined to their flats, with beans on toast if they're lucky.
