: How would these prices compare to Costco's grey
: market prices?

I have checked out the prices at these wholesale clubs and have found that they are generally the same as a deep-discounting authorized retailer. In fact, I've seen Omega watches at Sam's Club that were higher than what you could buy one for from an authorized retailer. Also keep in mind that when you buy within your state of residence you pay sales tax, which is quite a bit of money on a several thousand dollar watch. When you buy from an out-of-state dealer you don't pay sales tax (unless they have a sister/chain store in your state).
