: I take it these authorized dealers may have
: been going out of business so they sold
: their stock to Filene's Basement?
Not really. Authorized dealers have to buy a fairly large level of watches from OMEGA to keep up their auth dealership status and volume discounts. Often, more than a single store or chain can sell -- especially in a slower economy. So a number of them do these 'back door' deals to sell at near wholesale to other watch dealers that have no relationship with OMEGA.

: And why
: don't they include a box? They just wrap it
: up in one of their gift boxes. Strange...
No idea. Unless they are selling the boxes off on eBay separately to make more money.
