I think John has brought up and important point with his Lamborghini - Jiffy Lube analogy. Yeah, so you saved some money by going gray market with the full understanding that you are going to have to pay for all repairs yourself. Now the watch breaks. Unless you ALREADY have a relationship with a jeweler that you trust and KNOW FOR SURE is competent in repairing an Omega, you are flat out screwed! I had an Omega Speedmaster that I got in 1974 for a graduation present, and I wore it and beat the crap out it for 20 years. As far as I can tell, it finally succumbed to being worked on by too many incompetent yahoos calling themselves jewelers rather than the rough usage it got.
SO: How many of you out there who would be willing to buy from a gray market dealer are willing to bet the FULL price of the watch that the person you will take it to if it breaks is fully competent to repair Omega watches?
