In Response To: Re: New Seamaster Chrono ()

Hi, I just got one from them as well and paid the good price for grey market. Although, I am happy.
I know it is a real watch so I am happy. I do however wonder about resale value if I ever wanted to........... no serial number can be a bummer here and there. The watch is the watch though. kim

: I got it from World of Watches,
: www.worldofwatches.com
: They have a 3 year warranty and I emailed
: another owner who had service on his Omega
: done through them and he was very satisfied
: with the work. They arn't some fly by night
: company that will leave you wishing you had
: purchased elsewhere when you need something.
: By the way I have no affiliation with them,
: just a satisfied customer.

: I was pretty nervous before I got the watch,
: but once I opened up the box, all my fears
: (rip off, scratched off serial, etc)
: evaporated. Even today I was at a customer
: site and I looked at the time and
: smiled--the face was glowing after the sun
: hit on the luminos and it was semi dark in
: the room--it was glowing so bright and
: looked very impressive.

: No serial number, but you can't tell that there
: ever was one, very professionally done. In
: my research I found 1 other company that was
: about 300 more for the same watch with a
: serial number--if I hadn't read about the
: serial issue prior to purchase I would have
: never even known. The watch is genuine and
: was brand new, all boxes, warranty, even the
: plastic protector on the band and face were
: intact. All things considered, it wasn't
: worth 300 for me just to have a serial
: number when the watch has a limited warranty
: anyway, and I plan on owning it for a long
: time.
: World of Watches was very professional, and
: fast. I placed my order on Monday and had my
: watch on Tuesday morning. I took it into my
: local Omega dealer and had a link removed
: for sizing the band without incident (except
: for the salesperson telling me how sweet my
: watch was, and she had never seen one like
: it (in real life) hehe) I think the serial
: number is over rated unless you want to get
: your COSC paperwork (why?) or you feel like
: you will have a hard time selling it later
: (if its after the warranty period who
: cares?) You can still get service on it
: anywhere and I saved almost 1,000.00. Now
: when I see another Omega owner I have the
: satisfaction of knowing I paid less for the
: top of the line, than they did for the basic
: model :) heheh.
