Re: I wouldn't do it.
In Response To: I wouldn't do it. ()

: Can you give me the name of a fair AD. I am in the market for an Omega watch and would like to avoid grey market but get a fair price. Thanks much.
: Hi AR,

: I, & most of the regulars here, don't
: recommend buying from a Grey market dealer,
: regardless of whether the serial number is
: intact.

: Looking through the prices for the Omega
: wqtches on the website you mentioned, you
: can get VERY similar prices from our AD.
: However since you chosen to post anonymously
: ( without showing your E-mail ) we can't
: send you the details.

: If the watch arrives with the serial numbers
: intact & the paperwork/cards all match,
: there shouldn't be any negative effect on
: the resale value. To be honest, &
: assuming you sell it online, the pictures
: & text you use to describe the watch
: will probably effect the end price more.

: However, I think my opinons on Grey Market
: dealers are explained clearly enough here
: => My opinion on Grey Market dealers

: In short, I couldn't save enough money on a new
: watch, to make it worth the risk. You can
: get good prices & 100% perfect service
: from "our" AD.
