...those prices are good but you can get similar from a decent duty free - know anyone travelling soon?
I got my Omega from the watch shop (official Omega dealer) in Heathrow duty free and saved £240 on rrp.

That's a ropey looking site. http://www.orolus.com looks better, or http://www.2000watches.com both in the States - you will probably get stung for VAT importing one though.
I've just bought a Seamaster Titanium on ebay for 930 quid - I must be off my head. Should get it next week

Not really - I mailed them both re importing. They appear legit, but...
Basically, they're grey market, might not get serviced by Omega here, hence they do 2 years free servicing themselves. They do have serial no.s and are the same models we can get here.
You might get lucky with customs, but unlikely, so I'd budget for the VAT on top.
I bought off Ebay in a fit of madness, but Costco's a good bet, or second hand, or duty free as suggested earlier.
Assuming I don't get ripped off on my Ebay trade
,I'm getting a < 1 yr old minter for 600 quid less than new retail.
The watch market is a classic case of rip off Britian, a bit like cars i.e. oooh it's not a UK model can't service it etc..
Load of old ballox so it is.
