Hi All,
I am new member and new to fine watches. I have previously owned £200 quartz watches but now I am looking for a real watch, it will be a wedding present from my fiancee and a significant investement.
I started looking at watches a week ago and after some advice from a friend at work I was drawn to Omega watches.
After looking at some over the weekend I am very close to purchasing a Seamaster Aqua Terra Chronograph GMT (231.10.44.52.06.001) OMEGA Watches: Seamaster Aqua Terra Chronograph - Steel on steel - 231.10.44.52.06.001
Whilst looking at watches I heard a few things that I wanted clearing up.
Firstly, is this watch to be discontinued. One of the dealers couldn't get hold of it even though it is in the new section on Omega's website. Does anyone know why it has been discontinued?
Secondly, there seems to be some issue over how long the dealers in Southampton will remain accredited stockists/suppliers of Omega products. Currently there are three suppliers, Pickets and Pursors, Goldsmiths and Parkhouse. I understand that Omega are reducing the number of authorised dealers by 400 across the UK. Has anyone else heard of this and does anyone know how this will affect the guarantee from Omega?
Any help would be greatly received. As I said I am new to this but have been totally drawn to this watch. Its now a matter of sourcing it from a reputable supplier!
Thank you to anymone who can help!
