Swee mak mak! Your wife looks tall! Easy to pull off the 47mm case.

That's the problem with the 305 for me, makes my wrist look girly!

Ya she is quite tall. 1.7m. Used to be a model for a while. Hahaha....

Omega discount very controlled. I was told their global sales dropped 30%

Their price increased so much over the years. Hope they stop trying to be the next rolex and concentrate on being themselves .

That's why I am never going to buy another new Omega ever again. They are just too expensive now.

tbh, I fully understand that all profit-making businesses would want to make more $$$ and its alright to keep increasing the price. But if the price increment is too rapid or too much, and cause consumers to feel that they are not getting an equal quality of the product for the $$$ they are paying, consumers will flock to another brand which offers higher quality for lesser $$$ or a higher quality product with even higher value.

so... if people feel that its not worth it to buy Omega, they can easily switch to other brands which are equal in quallity like Tudor, Tag Heuer, Breitling, Bell & Ross

The PO8500 is available from grey dealers BNIB around $6k. A friend paid about $5.5k 2 yrs ago.

8k top up a it can get a sub already......who will still buy omega?

exact words from my SA

Almost hooted an Omega Planet Ocean 45.5mm at Watches Of Switzerland.

List price = S$8,100 with 24mths interest-free instalments.
Pay 21mths only if you sign up for the plan.

Can someone recommend better offers locally at our Authorised Dealers?

Many thanks in advance!

The credit card interest free instalment plan works out effectively to be an 12.5% discount only.

Any better deals or there, Gents?

Bro, unless you know another AD who can give you a better discount, this seems like a good deal if you really like the watch. There is always a premium that you need to pay when you get from ADs or their boutiques. Furthermore, buying on interest free installments helps you to spread out your payment so you don't feel the pinch so much. But mind you, you are still forking out the same amount of money, if you know what I mean.

If you don't mind pre-owned or the grey market, I'm sure you can get it at a better rate but I believe you are not going to be able to pay in installments!

All the best in your hunt!

yeah, the previous version of PO was only going at $5550 before discount (back then). after the 8500 movement + ceramic bezel is out, the price went up to $8.1k... omg.
