Looking to buy a new watch.

    Hey guys.

    Thought I'd ask your advice on getting a new watch.

    I'm looking at an Omega planet ocean 2900.50.91 I know the site is legit but would rather buy in a store.

    Is there any other nice watches like the Planet ocean? I pretty much have my mind set on it I love it's simplicity. It has to be a rubber/leather strap as I'm a programmer and metal/steel bracelets get ruined within weeks against desks and the likes I also have an omega seamaster with a steel bracelet so I'm trying to mix it up a bit.

    Willing to travel to europe to make the purchase as well, I want to buy it as cheap as possible not a tight wad I just don't feel necessary to be extorted when buying a watch.

    I went to weirs (I know, I know) on Grafton St. and they don't have this particular one in the store. Are there any other Omega agents in Dublin city centre?

    Cool I shall check them out when I'm back in work on Monday.

    You think watchfinder is good? there's something that is putting me off buying a watch online. i don't know what it is because i do 99% of my other shopping online.

    Same as Cyrus I bought a SMP 2535.80 from Watch Finder. Took 4 weeks to be delivered and stamped from Germany. Think there was 17% off list.

    That 4 weeks was agony waiting though!
