Does Non-Authorized Dealer = Grey Market??

Does purchasing from a non-authorized Dealer equal buying a grey market watch?

I'm considering going to www.wristwatch.com to get a Seamaster Pro, but found out they're not authorized. However, they do extend the warranty from 1 year to 2.

Anybody have any experience purchasing from them? Or should I just spend the extra ~$500 and go to a dealer?

What about Bailey, Banks & Biddle - are they an authorized dealer? I've read that web page about that guy's bad experience there, so wristwatch.com sounded better...

Also, anybody know of a good Omega dealer that is authorized in the Atlanta, Ga, USA, area?

Thanks!
