Omega OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300m Limited Edition Titanium and 18ct Sedna Gold Automatic Men’s Watch - £9,900 @ Beaverbrooks

That's exactly why I'm done with automatic watches. They are a constant financial burden. Inexpensive brands like Orient are fine, as you can just never service them, but if you commit to a £3000+ automatic, expect a hefty maintenance bill.

They have long yarned for the Rolex prestige/desire and have now started a campaign to achieve a more premium status.

The 007 2019 watch cemented this in my mind. £9200 for a stripped back Seamaster. Thats a straight shot across the bow to the retail price of a Sub. That was Omega's first non precious metal one to go blow for blow pricing wise. It's one of my favourite omega's made in fairness, for my personal tastes it's beautiful. Along with the 1960's waffle dial Seamaster's and the asteroid dark/gray side of the moon Speedmaster', it's up there in my top watches.

Sadly for Omega fan's I think this is start of a long upwards trend to catch up to Rolex pricing.

Private sale or through a dealer? Any recommendations?

Still interested?

Agree, it looks better but then this is titanium, white gold and metas movement.

It's not just omega. Watches have surged in recent years. They're on a downwards now. In five or so years, would expect them to normalise.

Thanks for that...
