As above

So I braved the Christmas traffic and panic buying shoppers in search of a good deal on the Omega SMP. Understandably nowhere is willing to offer a discount with 0% Finance :(

After some searching on the internet I found it for 23% off, at Iconic Watches , for £2,140, so I ordered it :)
There is no delivery until after Christmas but I’m away for a couple of weeks now so something to look forward to opening when I get back :)



That is an amazing watch Cosimo but I'm not keen on the orange bezel, plus I don't think it will age well.
For reference, like Iconicwatches. Swisswatchesdirect are another re-seller you can try for a good Omega discount. Neither are AD's, iirc they order your watch and register it for with their AD supplier. Anyway, read of people buying with no problems from both. Iconic also used to (worth asking) offer a free insurance valuation for evidence of positive feedback on a forum.

Does anyone have any thoughts/views/opinions on Bulova watches? Most preferably first hand experience. I like the look of the bulova 96b175 but not sure about the brands reliability and build quality

Way too busy for my tastes. I've decided on my next watch, it's going to be an IWC Portofino hand wound eight days.
