Some major discounts on Omega at Pragnells. 20 to 40 percent in Speedies, SMP300, SMPc and ATs plus devilles and so on.

The green world timer is my favourite!

I guess this shows you can’t really push water uphill! :silent:

Still not really bargains…

Just a correction to nearer a realistic price. :)

Well realistic after the potential customer has shaved a bit more off the price.

It brings them down to about RRP pre COVID I think, still handy saving for those of us (eg me) who aren't very good at the haggling

Those Omegas at Pragnells are amazing aren't they. Hard to call them bargains, but I wouldn't mind a few. Elsewhere I was looking carefully at the TB Mitchell sight at a half price "top of the range?" De Ville Prestige, but gold on gold must be quite hard to read. Also, I've come to the conclusion that I don't really need a dress watch.

Others may have had it before and be more familiar with what the giveaways are, but I had an email from NOMOS Glasshütte about an Advent Calendar with daily gifts. Sign up for their newsletter and I assume a further reminder will be sent closer to the time.

I post a few watch pictures now and then to a little Instagram account - 5 followers and counting!

Each day there is a prize and you just enter your contact details for a chance to win. You need to enter every day for a chance to win that days prize though, you can’t enter once for the full month. Over the 24 days there is usually a few watches, Nomos vouchers, straps, pens, Christmas decorations made from watch parts etc. They advertise it daily on their social media feeds if you follow Nomos on any of them.
