: Personally, I wouldn't buy from
: WorldWatches.com. Here is there policy on
: selling Omegas without Serial Number:
: Omega Trademark
: All the Omega watches that we sell are first
: class, brand new, genuine, in the original
: fancy box with papers and our 3-year
: buckle-to-buckle warranty. We buy our
: watches from the watch manufacturer through
: other members of a manufacturer's
: distributing channel like authorized dealers
: or master distributors. We do not alter any
: watch but some of our suppliers do remove
: their identification number to protect their
: identity from the back of the watch, the
: back of the watch looks untouched. The
: reason for it is that Omega prohibits
: dealers from discounting. This procedure is
: common for companies that discount these
: watches but does not affect the accuracy or
: water tightness in anyway. If the watch ever
: needs servicing within three-years just mail
: the watch to us and we will have the watch
: repaired at NO charge (our suppliers use
: only genuine parts, if needed). The one-year
: warranty is not valid. You may send the
: watch for service to us any time after the
: 3-year period but minimum service charge
: will be applied. Our company is committed to
: customer satisfaction --- we have thousands
: of satisfied customers.
Thanks Guys! I appreciate the input. As I see it, I'd be getting a genuine watch, however, without the distributor's serial number my risk would be potential refusal by the manufacturer for any work and resale. Since I get a new watch about every two years and there's no real resale market for anything but a Rolex (I know as I've tried to sell a few Tag's), I'm okay with that. Thanks again.
Regards,
David
