That looks like a great deal! At first I thought it was the bronze / gold one, but 18ct gold actually is a good find indeed

Thanks for the links guys.
Couldn’t find the sale watches when navigating the site.
That gold Omega has now gone. Thank goodness, I was doing some serious man maths with myself!
Ah ok, still a nice deal for someone.
Strange comment.
Yes, there were some unpopular/less popular models - that’s why they are available in a sale.
However, there were quite a number of models that could easily have been flipped immediately for a higher price; granted most of those, including a couple of Blancpain divers sold quite quickly, but compared to a lot of other retailers it’s definitely a bloody good sale.
I’d expect some more Omega watches to be sold off at some point, as due to Rolex buying Bucherer Omega has served notice to pull the brand from a number of Bucherer outlets - maybe all will follow…
It's just a matter of time...
The Autavia at £1450 was a great deal.
I had a look and was surprised by the number not available.
It would be nice if you could filter, so only see what is available :-)
I ordered and paid for a sale watch from Bucherer in past, only to be told not in stock and took a while to get refund.
From my experience, the site could be substantially improved to make it more customer friendly
Had a phone call from Bucherer today; before they dispatched the watch they wanted to let me know that it was not in new condition. Case scratched and strap marked. Order cancelled. Oh well.

I’ve mentioned it before about Bucherer when they reduce prices.
Based on experience of purchasing a pam995 a few years ago. I advise you ask certain questions.
Is it a full set.
Is it ex display. If so what condition is it in.
And this was my main issue that took nearly year to get sorted. Does the serial number and the paperwork match with the watch.
Yes some great prices, just needs some due diligence.

Watch came today but unfortunately my wife doesn’t want it so will be returning for a refund, anyone had any experience with returns to Bucherer hopefully it will be a smooth process
What the after care service like at Bucherer?
Customer services manager told me 3 to 5 days before refund hit my account, unacceptable in this day and age, but what can you do? The chap was reasonable enough.

Debits appear right away because of authorizations. The authorization is a courtesy to show you how much you owe in pending transactions and help prevent you from overdrawing the account. It always takes time for the receiver of the payment to get the money - the Merchant gives you the stuff when they get the authorization, but don't get the money for several days. When you get a refund, the flow is reversed.
No one follows it but I’ve always understood taking payment before shipment is against the law. It was a big deal when I worked at Apple years ago.
Upon order your card should be preauthorised in the same way a hotel or car rental company puts a hold on your card. Once the item is about to dispatch (same day is good enough) then the preauthorised funds should be drawn down on by the merchant.
>95% of retailers don’t adhere to this as they don’t have a backend which can handle the above.
IKEA took my money during covid while a desk was on back order and after two months of waiting I called Amex who refunded me instantly because IKEA shouldn’t have taken the funds in the first place.
Perfectly legal - which causes a range of problems:
