They are not an Authorized Dealer
In Response To: Legitimate dealer ()

I just read it, and it says Some of their brands may be sent directly to the Manufacturer. These are lower end brands like Citizen and Seiko. Omega requires you purchase from an Authorized Dealer for a valid Omega Warranty. Emagio is a Gray Market Dealer. This essentially means they are not Authorized by the Manufacturer to sell or service Omegas. Check the link below for the Chronocentric - Gray Market Watches section. It's a good read.

Also check your E-Mail for a referral to a really good Authorized Dealer.
