Hello everyone -- longtime lurker and first time poster. Love the great info you all provide. Two questions:
1. I'm finally ready to take the plunge and am getting the Bond Seamaster Quartz. I definately want to go the AD route, but I am wondering if anyone knows of an AD (either here in Chicago or elsewhere in the U.S.) that can beat the Big Prices quoted on Omegas here in some of the larger Michigan Ave. ADs. It seems nobody will come down from the MSRP.
2. Assuming there is nobody in the city and I purchase from an AD out of state, does anybody know how difficult it will be to resize the Bond bracelet here locally? In other words, any experience with local ADs hassling you on maintainance or resizing if you purchased from an otherwise valid out of state AD? Can a local non-AD watch shop do a resizing, or must I go to an AD (such as Tourneau, etc.). For some reason I envision a snooty clerk telling me they'll have to charge me $100 or something. Am I too cynical?
Thanks for any perspective or referrals. Keep up the great forums! Best regards, S.B. - Chicago, IL
