They dont deliver to Ireland but i called the shop in Liffey Valley and got this ssc675p1 for €270. Its generally around the €500 mark anywhere else, and is €360 from creation watches.

Same here.
I dunno about that Omega. My Personal opinion? It's too small even for the 1960's(which it does seem to be from). Actually especially for the 1960's as watch sizes were growing overall. For me and I have scrawny wrists I'd not go below 35mm as a rule. Not at that kinda money. And I wouldn't go gold plated either. It wears faster and looks cheaper. As a general rule go for steel.
He's not overcooking the price too much to be fair, though again IMHO for that size in gold plate? Nope. Omega attract higher values because of more recognition in the general public's eye and they are quality as well of course.
For over a hundred quid less, you could get this Omega. A watch with more wrist presence at 38mmx42mm and with a more interesting movement and in stainless steel and a chronometer and if you get tired of it will have higher resale value.
The movement is electronic not quartz, it's a tuning fork movement that has a very interesting history and will be more accurate and the cool thing is it hums it doesn't tick and the seconds hand is very smooth in movement. If it were my money that's more the kinda thing I'd be looking at.
That's a pure slobber for me, gorgeous0 -

Likewise, I went direct to them and they were great. The front door is quite tricky to navigate as it's very discreet but once inside the customer service people were super.
I just waited until I was next in London, dropped it in and they couriered it back to me a few weeks later.
This photo of the front door is from Google Maps. It doesn't look very inviting and the lack of door handles or visibility inside are off putting (deliberately I'm sure) but you'll notice that over the door there is a sensor so you just walk up to the doors and whoosh they open. I hadn't spotted the sensor when I was there a couple of years ago so felt a bit silly walking towards what looks like a blacked out window but after scouting both sides of the building I eventually figured out that had to be the entrance.
Hope that helps.
