: How can you tell when a good deal for a 2531.8
: is TOO GOOD of a deal? (wink wink) aka
: fake/stolen/etc...
Well, anyone can sell at a loss, they just don't do it often.
Excluding clearances and special deals, you will seldom see legit new Omegas selling from any new watch dealer for much over 40% off retail. 35% is the best you might see at an authorized dealer--though that is extremely rare.
But there are always exceptions. I bought a DeVille new from a major jewelry chain that is an authorized Omega dealer for 50% off in a major store clearance. Others have bought clearance Omegas from Ashford.com for some 65% off.
So there is not really any single good answer to your question. Best thing to do is evaluate the legitimacy of the dealer/seller based on other attributes besides just level of discount.
