Oh and on a visit to the Omega Boutique recently I found that they take in pre owned Omegas for trade in which I didn't think a proper boutique would ever do but guess they are changing with the times.
That is interesting DM - how old will they go? Recent pre-owned or proper vintage?

And I wonder what sort of prices they will offer?

Is this a bit like the car scrapage scheme I wonder .......
I'm not sure if they would go vintage but we did discuss vintage omegas (I earned some kudos by purposely wearing my dynamic, naturally) and I think they might not take vintage.

With the pre owned watches, they service them then hand them off to dealers such as Fraser hart and Ernest jones who still sell omega in their stores (I.e where boutiques have not yet entered the market so I would think in reality they would take anything from the early 90s till now.

Pricing will suck compared to self sold, the store attendant I spoke to said they took in an 7 year old Planet ocean and gave £1000 for it....who knows what condition it was in though.

thanks for that DM , I agree about the Girard perregaux watches they have become very expensive .the Jean Richard watches, you must be referring to there aquascope and terrascope range .

very interesting about the pre owned omegas though thanks for the info. :thumbup:
Yes the new terrascope etc, lost all character and they have deleted their most iconic model.....the highlands. Lame reboot

I am interested to know if FH have Nomos. Let us know. :)
Not sold at Trafford Centre, manager was unaware that other branches may be stocking them.

Thanks DM - I had a suspicion that would be the case with both age and price :(

I guess they have to factor service costs, etc (even at trade) and markup for both themselves and the selling AD.

I asked Fraser Hart customer services about Nomos...

Thank you for your enquiry.

The following four stores stock the Nomos brand;

Fraser Hart, Glasgow
Fraser Hart, New Change, London
Fraser Hart, Bluewater, Kent
Crouch Jewellers, Cardiff.

If you wish to view a particular model, please present the model reference to your nearest Fraser Hart store. The store will make the enquiry to whether the model is within our range and arrange to get it transferred into store for your viewing.

Regards,
Customer Service Team
Richard
