Omega Seamaster 8500 - good price?

[scooter260]

My local AD got in a brand new PO with the 8500 movement, ceramic bezel, etc. I tried on the 45.5mm and it is spectacular. The price was $6200 US but he said it could be mine for $5400 + the 7.775% sales tax. Is this a good deal or should I look elsewhere, like on this site?

He did say it comes with a 4 year warranty from Omega.

5.4K--Is that not a bargain?

Fill me in.

I recently purchased the 45mm PO with the 2500 cal movement for $2750 out the door. If you don't have to have the new movement and ceramic dial, I would look at those for half the price of the new PO. Either way, you can't lose................great looking watches!!!!!

I see that one of our trusted sellers, DAVIDSW, has a 45MM PO, metal bracelet for sale at $2,775 and the Chrono version for sale at a little over $4,000....that would be one place to start.

I'll PM you the name of the AD I bought mine from.

I say that's a fair deal. I don't think you're going to do much better without some sort of personal relationship with the AD.

i agree. 800$ off is pretty good.

I got the 9300 POC for $6150.

13% is NOT a bargain or even a decent discount for Omega.

Most all AD's and Boutiques aren't offering any or very little discount on the new 8500 PO's.

The new 8500 movements do come with a 4 year warranty.

Be amazed at the low discounts now with Omega as it will become norm soon...

[Gharddog03]

$4550 but has to be ordered.

Well, 2 AD's offered me 25% off on the POC with the 9300 movement. So, I can't imagine the 8500 PO's being any different. Just need to ask the right AD I guess.

some guy on this site will tell you that its 13% BUT your paying the 7% tax therefore its really a 6% discount

not sure im drinking that kool aid as discount is generally % off MSRP. the taxes vary in different states countries etc

rant aside. 13% on a new PO 8500 based on popular opinion lately seems to be good although i still think 20% is possible

off MSRP of course!

Closing the loop on this as the original poster....wound up getting this watch for $5,400 total. LOVE THIS WATCH!
