: Let me clarify my earlier post: I am in NO way
: condemning all gray market dealers. There
: are good as well as bad just like everything
: else. If you want to spend the time in
: research, and take the chance,(and you do
: take a chance..)then that's great. I have
: enough to worry about in other areas of
: life. I didn't want to have to "roll
: the dice" on the purchase of a new
: Omega. So, I took the easy way out, and went
: "authorized". That's me. I am now
: beginning to get into vintage. So, now I
: will find myself dealing with the grey and
: used market. The whole point is, have a good
: time, enjoy your watches and your purchases.
: Do that in anyway that works for you.
: However, why take a chance (especially if
: this is your very first new Omega..)to be
: ripped off, and have to learn a lesson;
: maybe an expensive one at that.

well just because you are buying from an authorized dealer doesn't mean that you are spending more.
