I bought a Speedmaster Pro from T.O.S
In Response To: Re: Time of Switzerland: Any experiences? ()

I bought a Speedmaster Pro (3570.50) from TOS. The warranty thing isn't that big of a deal. He always ships the watch UPS Worldwide Express (guaranteed 2 day). And he ships them out as soon as he gets them. Plus you get a TRUE Omega warranty not a gray market watch. I'll take a loss of 3-4 days on an Omega warranty over a warranty from a gray market company that might go out of business before the warranty expires.

Pros: Excellent price, Quick response to all my Emails, Omega Warranty, All serial numbers intact, Brand new watch. (Omega said my watch left the factory about 1 week before I got it :-)

Cons: You need to wire transfer the money or fax over a copy of your credit card, Buying from somebody in another country, You have to pay a small import tax (mine was about $30).

Just make sure you know all the facts/risks involved. The only one I had a REAL problem with was wiring somebody I didn't know money, then hopping they send the watch. By paying with a credit card I felt MUCH better about the deal.

I plan on buying from him again.
