This may be better a new thread, but I'll start off here anyway.
Where do "gray market" watches come from in the first place? I guess the assumption is that they are fundamentally ORIGINAL watches, genuinely manufactured by Omega. So (taking the serial number removal or not removal question off the table for a moment), "HOW" do they get from the Omega manufacturing source, into the hands of the grey market dealer?
Is there something "illegal" going on in this chain? Is someone not enforcing something they should be?
I'll have follow-up questions later....
