Pathetic...
: Yeah, it was an authorized dealer, I actually
: found them from the Omega website's list. It
: was a little weird, the two ladies who were
: helping me were concerned about it and one
: mentioned receiving a call a while ago from
: their main office asking them if they had a
: Blue Bond model when they didn't. I figured
: it was just a case of a switched box. They
: were very helpful, but then thier mananager
: dude came over somewhat full of himself and
: started trying to tell me that the number on
: the card shouldn't match anything on the
: outside of the watch and the serial number
: is only on the inside. I pointed out where
: the serial number was and it took a while
: before he found it. Despite the numbers were
: very close in value and format to what was
: on the wrong card he kept insisting that it
: wasn't the serial number. I was pretty sure
: that it was from what I'd read here so I
: stood my ground. Anyway it ended up causing
: more of a fuss than I anticipated, since I
: figured that it was just a case where they
: had two watches in the same store and they
: mixed up the boxes. But apparently it was
: more of a home office mix up. I should
: stress that the ladies that were helping me
: we're extremely professional, but this
: manager guy had a screw loose or something.
: Go figure.
It just shows you that you can be a complete moron and still make it into management. The serial number must always be on the chronometer certificate card - no ifs, ands, buts, or maybes. Any manager should also have known that the serial number on the watch should match the serial number on that card. What good does it do you to know that someone else's watch has a chronometer certificate???
I could write a book about all the absurd things I've been told by Omega AD's. That's why I'm very picky about who I buy from.
