Title: Where for pre-owned watches?
Post by: Lyons on January 31, 2012, 09:16:30 am: Folks, I'm on the hunt for a new (used) Tag, specifically a Monaco.

There's very few jewellers over in here in Northern Ireland that stock second hand Tags, so I'm looking to increase my repertoire of places I can check by adding a few more from the Mainland.

Can anyone give me the names of any places you know of?

Thanks in advance.

Post by: Lyons on January 31, 2012, 09:42:12 am: I'd already seen them but the Monaco prices are quite high. Not sure if the rest are the same.

Watches of Distinction is another place I found too.

Thanks though, I appreciate the post.

However, I wanted one of these:

which generally go for between 350 and 450, and I got it on ebay for 265, 1 owner from new.

Yes fella, sold them a watch last year and they did everything they said they would and honoured the price given prior to seeing the watch! :happy2:

Post by: garrardrj on February 01, 2012, 10:48:38 am: Just a word of warning......lots of fakes out there for sale. I bought one a while back and it was fantastic Omega Copy and even had had a serial number etched into it and if you know the size of the Omega serial numbers you will know how difficult it is to copy. I did notice it immediately on delivery and after about 50 emails to the ebay seller got my money back......but only after sending one from my work e mail address (Police) !

Post by: Lyons on February 01, 2012, 11:17:47 am: Thanks for the heads up. I intend to be fairly thorough if buying on eBay etc. an original receipt would help piece of mind.

I would like to think a jewellers would only have genuine items though.

Indeed but Goldsmiths Manager (A friend) could not say for certain until he took the back off and found a Seiko movement in an Omega watch. i took it tto him to have independent evidence if i need to take the matter further

Post by: Lyons on February 02, 2012, 10:07:59 am: It would be easier just to buy new!

Sadly I just could not justify spending circa £2k on a watch.
