Re: gray market
In Response To: gray market ()

I think Stephen is right on that point : remember, when you start the omega.ch homepage, they tell you that no omega wztch should be sold on the internet...
If it does not have the serial number, then it is blackmarket...just because when the "box" of the watch is produced, there's no engraving on it...all the engraving commes after that the mechanism has been included and the COSC passed, so the watch may have been stolen between the COSC and the engraving !
I remember, when I was in Nigeria ten years ago, I bought a Rolex...I thought it was a false one, but when it was repaired, no one protested against me (in normal time, they must do it to fight the grey market). And the Rolex still works... As they say, it "falled off the truck"...
