In Response To: I have 2 Seamasters, and got a discount on both of *PIC* ()

: them, here in Cincinnati. I lucked out in my
: first dive watch purchase, as the manager
: had seen me looking at the SMP 300 for a
: while, and finally just reeled me in with
: the discount.

: On the second one, the PO, I had a contact out
: of state that could get me a 30% discount,
: and the local guys matched it. Their credit
: deal made up for the sales tax difference.

: I think if you can shop around a bit, you
: should be able to get a discount on Omegas
: in the US without too much hassle.

: But here's a question, are they overpriced here
: in the US to start with, or is the list
: price about the same given the exchange

John,
that is a good question actually. i was over in NYC last year and i thought about taking advantage of the strong English Pound by purchasing a watch whilst in the states. i checked a couple of largish dealers, and also checked the watch dept in Macy's , and by my reckoning when converting the $ back to � , the watches did seem to be more expensive than in the UK.sometimes nearly �200gbp(380USD) more expensive..... make of this what you will, but perhaps it would explain the relative ease you guys manage to get discounts
