Where to purchase my first Omega Seamaster?

    Hi everyone!

    I'm about to take the plunge and finally purchase a Seamaster Diver 300M, my favorite one from the Omega collection, and luckily for me not the most expensive of the bunch.
    Still haven't decided on the blue or black, though.

    Anyway, I'll have to go second hand, as the prices new are a bit out of my reach.

    Recently saw this webshop called Chrono24 ( http://www.chrono24.com ) and they seem to have a lot on offer - mostly pre-owned/used or unworn - for decent prices.

    And as I need to purchase the watch in Europe to avoid Customs taxes from stuff coming outside of Europe, they allow me to filter out the results and show just what's available in the European region.

    Now, if I wanted to get a reasonable and safe deal, is there any other webshops in Europe that someone can recomend?
    Is eBay or Amazon a secure place to make this kind of purchase?

    Thanks!

    Unfortunately eBay is riddled with scammers. Amazon may be a little better but I couldn't say for sure. Trusted sellers on this forum and others are great for clean deals at good prices. Check out http://www.watchrecon.com too. At the very least WR will get you an idea of pricing.

    Remember, if you're not sure, ask here before buying. Some might hassle you for not knowing everything, but most like to help which you definitely want before dropping serious cash.
