Omega Gold Watches

Hello All,
Yesterday I had a chance to try some of the Omega gold watches. They are feel very well made and nice on the wrist. My question is are they worth buying it in AD on retail price or it’s better to get one on the grey market? How much cheaper I can get one of them when going grey?

Cheaper on the secondary by a long way. Like approaching 40%

You will just have to be patient. Not a ton of them out there, and the new Constellation will take a few more months (imho) before you see any listed - its too new.

Yes, stunning in person.
Prefer for piece of mind buying from AD if new, used I’m ok with a reliable source

Sedna Gold and ceramic for me, the perfect combination, I managed to get it LNIB significantly off retail.

That Aqua Terra is beautiful! I've always liked the Aqua Terra but never pulled the trigger on one. This gold version is really eye catching. May have to re-evaluate my next watch acquisition.

There are some pretty impressive discounts to be had at some AD's. Of course some models are boutique exclusive... and OB's are generally reluctant to offer discounts.

However when buying a grail, I often think about the famous quote by Ben Franklin which I think translates well to this subject:

“The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.”

― Benjamin Franklin

Any PM watch is losing on the secondary market. You should be ready to hold it forever. I own Tresor.

I have owned an Omega Speedmaster in YG with the green dial and bracelet. I bought it preowned from a Trusted Seller for about 65% of retail. When I traded it I lost about 15% off that figure. Cool watches and glad I had the ownership experience but will stick with Rolex going forward in PM.

If you decide to go AD, you should still be able to get a discount. It won't be as much of a discount as going grey though
