In Response To: All the more reason to buy grey market on the net. *NM* ()

Buying grey market may be good in terms of purchase price, but should you need a repair, it is not as good. You have to send it back to the very grey market shop you bought the watch from and who knows how good and qualified they are in repairing the watch. It seems like a crap shoot to me.

On the other hand, if you buy from an Omega authorized dealer, you have the option of sending the watch directly to Switzerland Omega headquarters for warranty repair.

I suppose you could send a grey market watch in to them as well, but they would charge you for the repair so you might just as well have bought an authorized watch. Further, if the serial number is shaved off, Omega will probably refused to even do anything for you at all since this would signify that the watch was obtain through questionable means.
