In Response To: Dealers in MD/DC/VA ()

Check out Continental Jewelers in DC. Jim Gianforte is the owner, is incredibly knowledgeable about Omega watches, and has a pretty large inventory. He had my 2293.52 Ti SeMP in stock, and that's a fairly rare model. He does his own accuracy check on all his incoming stock, so in addition to everything else, you will find one of his own "passed" stickers on the box. I ordered mine by mail and avoided the Minnesota sales tax, and I would not hesitate to order from him again.

As far as 40% discount, you can forget it. If you find such a dealer, you can expect a 100% ream job if the watch ever breaks. A realistic deep discount range is 30% - 33% for an Omega.
