Serial numbers are important because you have a way of proving that the watch is yours. You also get the Omega factory warranty on the watch. Finally, if you purchase from a local authorized dealer, you get the 'extras' not provided by an internet grey market dealer.
: First of all, this is a GREAT message
: board...thanks, Derek, for all the good
: work!
: I'm looking at a model 2551.80 (Seamaster Bond
: auto) and a 2561.80 (Seamaster Bond quartz).
: I purchase many, many bigger-ticket items over
: the Internet and I'm attracted to some of
: the pricing offered by some of the gray
: market dealers. I do not now own an Omega.
: I am looking for a better understanding about
: why so many people say that it's essential
: to get a watch with the serial number
: intact. Any help on this one?
: Also, for any of the lawyers out there, how can
: Omega force resale price maintenance on
: their dealers in light of antitrust law
: prohibitions on vertical price fixing? My
: guess is that authorized dealers are merely
: "sales agents" for Omega and not
: true distributors. Is that correct?
: Thanks, all.
: Again, GREAT board!
