    Hi all,
    Does anyone have any experience of buying a watch in Northern Ireland? Looking to take advantage of the exchange rate and hopefully pick up a used Omega PO. Any recommendations for dealers?
    Obviously the UK is a bigger market etc. But just want to see if NI is an option before going down that route.

    Bought my Omega Seamaster in Eniskillen - about 10 years ago in a jeweller called TA Mercer - an official dealer for Omega - got a good deal but had to go there to get the price as they wouldn't give an idea of discount on the phone . Well worth the trip as ended up getting a 35% discount on a similar watch in Dublin ..

    Thanks Shane.
    Is the Seamaster still going strong?
    What do you do for servicing in Ireland?

    buying a planet ocean from a main dealer in UK or ireland is throwing money away,

    take a look on chrono24 there are some very good discounts to be had

    Where did you get it serviced? As far as I understand servicing options are pretty limited in Ireland.

    Thanks, I have been keeping an eye on chrono24 also. Definitely not planning to throw money away.
