    AD Bargain?

    Well I think so or I wouldn't have raided the tv meter..... Oris Watch Ref: 635.7595.41.94.MB. Yes a brand new one with two year warranty, bought today from Goldsmiths. Tucked right away at the back of a cabinet, not really on display, methinks possibly for a sales rep's January paycheck. Got the orange lume, a bit different. Retail is £700. Best price on a grey dealers discount site £605. Watch is mint but had no Oris box. They gave me an Omega instead. What a shame. I'll get one for it on an auction site!!!, or here if anyone's got one that's surplus. Ha Ha. Oh and the price, £284. Out of curiosity took it to a second hand watch dealer, offered me £350 cash in hand. Was tempted for a quick kill but I like it and it wears a dream on the bracelet. Happy hunting. Joe

    Metro Centre Gateshead, upstairs. They have a few Oris for sale all brand new ex-display, mostly without boxes but with full 2 year warranty. This was the bargain of the century mate, there were a few half pricish about the 400 quid mark and some others reduced aswell. Happy hunting give them a ring. I have no affiliation just walked in off the mall so to speak.

    Great deal - Omega box is probably worth a littel more on an auction site anyay - so you may even make a little exchanging for the correct box!
    It's just a matter of time...

    Congrats on a top bargain.
    That's almost tempting enough to lure me into that godforsaken hellhole (not just the M'centre, I hate all shopping centres).

    That's a nice looking watch and well deserved for venturing into Dante's 7th circle :shock:

    Is it common for AD's to have bargains like this tucked away?

    Re: AD Bargain?

    Thanks for the well wishes, and this is perhaps the most comfy bracelet I have tried. Much more so than my P.O. Of course it's not very good near water, and the lume is not the brightest, but as an everyday wearer it is dead on. Never owned an Oris before but quality and accuracy are spot on, +2 sec/day on the wrist and it can be manually wound. If you are offerred one around the 350-400 mark as they are now not a current model, or a good used example, then I would not hesitate. Be careful though as this was a popular model amongst the fakers out there. Just registered mine with serial no on the Oris website and got an extra year's warranty making 3 in total. Regards Joe
