Seems like poor business form
The world today is expected to use a CC when purchasing items, only a mom and pop type shop should be concerned about the fee. An Omega Boutique or AD should accept a CC as matter of policy. Seems like poor business form.

I did it with both speedytuesday and the ultraman. Paid in full collected the watches when I was in the country. My speedytuesday was in the shop for many months before it was collected. No problems at all.
An organization of the Swatch groups size is not about to go broke and take your money.

Hello people. So I sent money to Omega by bank transfer in the end. Not ideal or my preferred option but I did more checking and research and thanks more to the members of this forum (thanks @ChrisN) than Omega/Swatch group was happy I was actually sending the money to a legit source. That was the only issue with doing the wire. I’m still as baffled as most others as to why they don’t take credit card.
I chose not to get the watch delivered as I thought I’d see what the whole boutique collection experience is like so it’s being held for me until I can make it to collect.
Thanks for everyone’s input and hopefully this post has helped others too
Tiny bit of me thinking that I’ll turn up and they’ll say “what watch?”

I'm sure you understand English as well as anyone here Al.
The OP's thread was primarily asking whether he was being scammed, and then the thread was quickly taken over by members who have literally been here on the forum for about five minutes criticizing Omega boutiques for not accepting credit card payments, which is clearly not the case. The OP had the option, the same as I did, of going to the boutique and paying for the watch by whatever method he chose, or reserving the watch by paying SwatchGroup UK by bank transfer, and picking up the watch or having it delivered at his leisure.
In my case they wouldn't send my watch to my nearest AD because it involved Air mail and I had to travel to London to pick up the watch.
