Some advice needed...What are the advantages of buying through an Authorised Dealer? - Yes I know that you'll get the 12 month Omega Warranty but what else do you get? Do these watches really have such a high incidence rate of mechanical problems within the first 12 months? I suspect not so, is the 12 months really justification for paying so much more. Yesterday I paid a visit to my local Authorised dealer (confirmed) and was told the price of a complete 'overhall' for a SMP (about 1/7 the cost of the watch). Taking this into account I could have two and a half of these 'overhalls' in the first 12 months before reaching the authorised purchase price if I were to go ahead and buy a 'Grey Market watch' from the shop down the road....and yes the Grey market watch has the serial numbers. Can someone please help me decide on the pros and cons - the authorised dealer is about 40 - 45%, perhaps I'm missing something and the risks of repairs etc are more likely with the watch than I had thought regardless of it being 'Authorised' or 'Grey Market'.
