In Response To: Re: AD or internet company ()

: thanx dave. was just wondering if you could
: elaborate on a grey market watch. is it a
: fake or just like an overrun or discontinued
: model?

The majority of grey market watches are genuine.... I guess.... (I say that because some swap genuine parts and scrape of serial numbers. All don't come w/ an Omega warrenty and almost all don't come with "boxes and papers").

They're definately not 'fakes' (although some can be... Not so with ADs) and they are not discountinued.

It all boils down to what you want.

Do you want just the watch?

or...

Do you want the assurance, certificates, boxes, serial numbers intact with a 100% genuine watch at a higher price?

There are people that are happy with grey market dealers, it just depends what kind of person you are!
