Nice find!

Sounds like you got a great deal. Be a little leery of the c.33xx as it has had its share of problems. Problems that Omega has developed fixes for and are become less reported, mostly on older models. You are covered with a 3 year warranty, so if something comes up you should be good with the warranty. I would say that I would have had no problem buying that watch with that discount from an AD. Its a beautiful watch and a great timekeeper and the newer models should be clear of problems. Congrats on your find!

: First off, I love Omega Timepieces. I own a Rolex datejust, an
: Omega Speedmaster Day/Date with blue dial and an Omega GMT
: Seamaster. I was on vacation last week and happened to stop by
: an authorized Omega dealer-yes authorized. I observed , in the
: counter a bunch of high end watches (what I consider high end)
: offering a 50% discount. My eyes immediately set on the Broad
: Arrow (321.93.42.50.13.001), red gold/steel with the leather
: brown strap for 1/2 price. I looked at it, asked if it was new
: with all the papers, ect.... at which the salesman said it was
: authentic,brand new, but in the showcase as a disply. I left the
: store, went home losing sleep whether to make the purchase. 2
: days later I called the salesman and purchased the watch. What
: do you guys think? I was very skeptical on the purchase of a
: $7000 watch with a 50% discount from an authorized Omega dealer.
: I normally deal with one Omega dealer, but felt I could not let
: this pass. Thanks for the help.
