Re: SMP Cost
In Response To: Re: SMP Cost ()

: The 2531.80.00 retails for $1995 in the US.
: Dealer cost on all Omegas is 55% of MSRP, so
: in this case dealer cost is $1100. The
: dealer I use discounts 33% from MSRP on all
: Omega watches, so his price would be $1337.
: I haven't found a dealer willing to go lower
: than this, so I've been using my current
: dealer for almost 3 years now. Their
: customer service is top notch as well.
: E-mail me for a referral if you are
: interested.

: There are set retail prices in every country,
: but given the trade-weighted index among
: various currencies, a watch's retail price
: may end up being cheaper in one country than
: another simply because one country's
: currency is valued higher.

OH, I wish I new this site and I knew John before I got my seamaster... NO NO I got it from AD in VA, but discount was only 20% from $1,995. I asked if they can discount more, and women went back to talk to manager but that was their last call...but I really really wanted this 22558000 and I bought it despite the price. I mean it's good that they did 20%, but next time I'll be smarter buyer and will get through real omega guys like you guys!!! I really enjoy this forum and each day I appreciate my watch more and more because of such a nice forum!!! Oh and my watch never been out of COSC spec...as a matter of fact it makes +2 sec in 3-4 days, and then somehow loose them in several days so in a week i'd say it's dead on my atomic clock. then next week same trick, gains for couple days and loose for couple days. is that normal trick for chronometer or because it has not been settled up it is like that? Was really wondering, because it's not stable, like gaining 1 sec a 24 hrs or something like that. It is up and dow, so my guess it's still in process of settling up, but of course in COSC specs...is there any other opinion on that? Thankx!!!!!
