Hi Gilbert
I am also trying to get some information on Watches-etc. I agree with you that they offer good discounts. I am planning to buy an Omega speedmaster model # 3570.50. Watches-etc claims to be an authorized dealer for Omega. I verified this with Omega USA. But they also told me, there is no authorized internet dealer. It appears that though they are an authorized dealer, they are not authorized to sell on the internet(?)

Thanks
