Dawson Jewellers

So I'm in town today and not having been to Dawson Jewellers in some time, I decide to take a look at their offerings.

Imagine my excitement when I behold a Seamaster 2254 in the Omega cabinet.



Now it looked a good few years old in fairness, and mentally I assumed it's value to be circa €1,000 - €1,250. A price range I would consider buying it for. :cool:

I inspect it and it has a price tag of €2,200 !!!!!!!!

I soon left. Crazy price for a used watch when you consider that a new Seamaster at full RRP is €400 more.

Am I being unduly irrational or does that price make sense?

Blackpitts

crazy prices all right!
they have asked me 4k for a PAM24 which was very far from mint condition...

I don't know how they can survive in this current climate..

Good point. Their continued existence surely hinges on people with a lot of money, a liking for expensive jewellery, and no internet access.

did you ask 'whats your best price, how much for cash?' etc

last time I seemed half interested in a watch in there the other day he knocked 500 off in about half a second. I think you can haggle like fook in there

I suppose this way customers leave thinking they got a bargain and they can tell the wife they haggled 500 off to justify the expense:D

I always found him a very decent man to deal with. If you want to buy rubbish from unknown sources that's fine but quality has a price.
I've traded back in watches and upgraded and have always been happy with the cost. Establish a relationship here and in the long term I believe the customer is King.

And yet more unbridled praise for a certain jeweler from a second thread and a newbie with but two posts? Things that make you go Hmmm... I find that a tad dubious. Thread closed and Eugene From Dublin banned until they can provide evidence that they're wholly unconnected with said establishment.
