: Will I really get a better deal there then
: buying in the continental US.

: Any know of a reputable place in St. Thomas to
: make this purchase? What can I expect to
: pay?

Hey,

I live in the Caribbean. I flew to St. Thomas to buy my Seamaster Pro (Ref. 2531.80.00). The watches and perfumes prices are fixed there. So, you will receive more or less the same price everywhere.

I bought mine from Little Switzerland near the pier (waterfront). I paid $1370 for it, duty free - no taxes. They are an Omega Authorized Dealer, so you will receive the Omega International Warranty that I understand is valid everywhere. They gave me a great service and adjust the watch bracelet for free.

I don't know the prices in CONUS, but you can compare now.

Happy "cruising" and enjoy your Omega.
