: Dell- The car anolgy is a fair one. This is why
: you can get steep discounts on Fords, Chevys
: and Seikos. But the local Lexus, Infiniti or
: Omega dealer is far less likely to discount
: very steeply. Plus, if you really beat the
: poor bugger down to $200 over cost(which I
: doubt happens unless a gray market watch)

: you great(they did me!) with no posturing or

: difference some too)for a watch with an
: Omega warrenty. And once you strap that baby
: on your wrist your only regret is going to
: be that it took you so long!
