I've just phoned my local retailer, and my blue Omega SMP has arrived! The watch of my dreams!
I've been saving up for about 1/2 year now, and have found it at a reasonable price (£900 - retails at £1050) for the sealed case.
Most of the shops round here seemed to want to sell me the window model! WHATTT! I'm paying £1K for a watch and you want me to take a window model??? fools!
Although my 15% reduction may seem meager to you guys (in US) it really is about as good as it gets over here. I must have been in > 50 shops looking at this (and other) model. Not many were willing to go to 950, and even fewer willing to order me one in for that price. No 12 month credit or anything... just buying it oughtright!
At one point I considered FLYING to the US, buying a watch at 35% discount, and returning home, but that would cost quite a bit more than 900, and I wouldn't be guaranteed a brand new watch.
...Plus I'm not sure how happy these guys would be size-ing / servicing my watch after I went and bought it elsewhere!
Well I've got to try to do some work now (impossible), but it has helped to post my excitement here!
Ill be sure to get you guys some pictures soon, although there will be nothing you've not seen before - they may be very high quality (grandads negative film scanner)
Bye for now,
Nathan
