| Need advice on an Omega Seamaster No Time to Die. Allegedly these are gonna get discontinued at the end of the year. What are the downsides to buying one second hand and what to look for, vs buying one new from a dealer? |

Omega has pattern ships With Bond movie franchise And the Olympics And Nasa I would wait till another Bond movie drops or another round of Olympics The No Time To Die Will no longer be the hot watch from Omega And you will be able pick one up even cheaper on the Secondary market Right now on secondary market expectations to pay ABOUT $3,000 off MSRP for used And ABOUT $2,000 off for new going through the right grey market dealer For the bracelet model, staples model will be less |

If you don't mind the grey market, I've been happy with Joma. https://www.jomashop.com/omega-seamaster-automatic-chronometer-brown-dial-mens-watch-210-90-42-20-01-001.html But try DavidSW, Bob's Watches, Chrono 24 (Filter for USA and Dealers) And, absolutely, buy on the mesh band. Acquiring it later will cost you. |

I would look on a site like the Time zone classifieds for either pre-owned or an authorized dealer who wants an email from you for the price. They are typically under what most ADs would be able to sell for, and have hundreds of high dollar watch sales documented. I agree that it's a very cool watch and Im about to do the same thing myself. |

@Jack19 @G_S @MotorsAndMagazines Hi folks ! I wanted to ask your advice on watchfinder.com; any good/bad experiences buying from them ? |

@Skydivesnake, I have never done business with them either, but they certainly *appear* reputable. They have retail stores all over the world. I have purchased from Watchbuys, Timezone, crown and caliber, exquisite timepieces and the Chrono24 app/auction, all without any issues. My top buying experiences were from Exquisite Timepieces (w/ Jenya if she’s still there). Many times I was “only” buying a $600 or $1000 watch, and I was treated extremely well. They email me their new stock pretty frequently, and they routinely have $30k+ used pieces for sale. Don’t forget to post pics when you get it! :) |
