First luxury purchase question: I’m looking to buy the Seamaster 300M 007 (titanium bracelet) as my first $$$ watch. Does the fact that this is a popular watch under limited production mean that price negotiation with an AD is impossible? Obviously have no purchase history, so that won’t help. Would appreciate any input!

Check with Timeless Luxury Watches. They are an Omega AD, and I had a great experience buying from there after John (the bowl creator) recommended them.

These appear to be trading for over MSRP on the used market so I’d be surprised if you were able to get one at a discount from a dealer. No harm in checking, though.

Personally any of the 007 editions feel a bit gimmicky to me unless you really love the films I suppose.

Yeah, fair callout. definitely staying away from the spiral dial design. I don’t think anything about the model I’m looking at is obviously 007-esque, though, so should be enjoyable in the long run.

You might find limited availability. Have you found an AD that has one in stock?

An AD has one, others I contacted do not. More evidence that the original question was insufficiently clear.

I still think given stated unfamiliarity, you could have added a little more color to your initial response. But apologies for assuming the wrong tone nonetheless.

Low p&e (on my part, not a dig) way to get to this answer, but thanks for continuing to respond.

great choice. Saw one in Vegas a few wks ago. Also excited about the new Omega Snoopy Speedy and Omega Nekton coming out later this month

Post on OF.net and see if anyone was able to get a discount on the Tokyo 2020 LE. That's delayed and could possibly offer insight. But really, unless you find someone who bought it at the actual AD you're looking at, it's just a guess at best. Every AD has different policies on limited/demand watches.

👍 Good luck with the hunt!

How’d the watch hunt go? Any discount
