Some beauties there 🤩👍🏻👍🏻

That is an amazing Omega display, so many Constellation pie pans!!!

·

Can’t go wrong 👍

·

Constellations are some of the most underrated vintage Omegas out there right now. Don't tell too many people though 😉

Somlo?

Not sure if they’re still the only ‘official’ Omega pre-owned dealer in London/UK?

·

I know the shop. Years ago I kept looking for a 1976 Rolex in the window but they had every year but 1976. That shop is designed to make anyone spend money!!!

Burlington Arcade is a time-space vortex. I walk in it on the Piccadilly end at 14:00 and it is 18:00 by the time I make it to the other end 10 minutes later.

Just thought I recognized the display and the shop in the background. I visited them hoping to find a Suveran. It was just before I went for the financially devastating visit to Maunders.

And they are available to buy 👍🏼

You'll be impressed I managed to get through with hardly any dilation.. under 30 mins end to end...🤣

I just thought I recognized the shop as ”Somlo LONDON & OMEGA Vintage” at the very start of the archade. But that’s perhaps wrong, there are other boutiques.

Ah ic! I deliberately didn't look at the shop name, I'd be forced to look online...🤣

So jealous, those look beautiful. It would be so hard for me not to leave without at least 1 haha!

Best for your wallet to not stop and just walk on by!

A gold constellation is as good as it gets if you ask me.

Such staff as dreams are made on.

Heading to London in June. I've already mapped out visits to several watch sites including Burlington Arcade! My wife plans to stay back at the hotel that day. Lol.

Other than going to Mr Jones, I hadn't planned any watch shopping.. can't afford it at the moment! I just happened to use the arcade as a shortcut...🤣

I already own Ricochet and Last Laugh. Wondering if a visit to the brick and mortar store is worth it?

It's a nice shop, with a good display. It's also in a great shopping street between the British museum and covent garden... So super central.

Go to Piccadilly Arcade near there as well. There is a vintage watch store in there well worth a look. Come out of Burlington into Piccadilly, cross the road, turn left and it is on your right after a short walk.

Thanks. I'll add that to the itinerary. 😃
