    I took this pic in a window in Norwich this weekend. Obviously an Omega City.

    Very interesting.

    I’ve never seen a pawn shop that posted prices in the window. I wish they all did — save me a whole lot of time.

    Has anyone spotted the 2018 black dial Datejust 41mm in my window for £6195..? They said I could have it for £6K..A good price for someone looking for that particular watch..

    Those are some nutty prices ::screwloose:: (especially if you convert into Canadian $). There was a time when you went to a pawnbroker to get a bargain...:eek:

    It's a good price because they probably offered the schmuck 3k cash to sell it

    Even in NYC, I don't think we have any pawn shops with these type of watches. But then again, we just have 47th Street, which is almost a giant street of pawn shops....

    Well, in fairness, I did buy my first Speedmaster in a pawn shop in the Spring of 1982, a 145.022-74 that I still own, but rarely wear.

    Oh! I almost forgot.

    I think I paid around $225, with a proper 1161 bracelet.

    The Navitimer might be worth a closer look.

    This shop is "WANTS" in Plymouth, Devon UK. I had a look at the early 806 Navitimer and unfortunately it has a nasty damaged lug..
