I bought my first Citizen Promaster Navisail Stars & Stripes from World Watches. 50% discount and am very pleased. This was the purchase that left me spiraling into this abbyss of watch buying. But, this was not a high end watch. I only spent $215 on it including CA sales tax. Different story with Omega. I think Citizen could care less what the retailers sell them for. They are the worlds largest watch company. BTW World Watches is about 20 minutes from my house, but they have no showroom. I still had to have it shipped to me.
