Re: Ashford.com being sold to Diamond.com

: Diamond.com, Diamonddepot.com,
: WorldofWatches.com and probably others
: belong to the parent company Odimo. Three
: years ago, Diamonddepot.com sold me an Omega
: with the serial number removed and without
: disclosing this to me.

: Here is current text from the Diamond.com site.
: When I bought from Diamonddepot.com three
: years ago, there was no such disclosure.

: "Notice: Diamond.com offers genuine brand
: name watches at substantial discounts to the
: manufacturer's suggested retail price.
: Because of our discounted pricing, we are
: not "Authorized Dealers" as
: defined by the manufacturer.

: All of our watches are genuine and authentic.
: Excluding our pre-owned watches, all watches
: are new. We buy our watches through
: authorized dealers and distributors and
: other established lines of distribution
: within the watch industry.

: In order to provide you with the best possible
: savings on your watch purchase, our vendors
: must protect their sources of supply. For
: this reason, the serial number has been
: removed from certain of these new genuine
: brand name watches. Laws in your state may
: require us to refer to these watches as
: "secondhand". Under such
: circumstances, these watches are covered by
: Diamond.com's Limited Warranty and not by
: the original manufacturer. Our warranty
: matches or doubles the original
: manufacturer's warranty coverage period and
: our professional watch technicians service
: these watches in-house."

looks like there's one more reason not to buy from ashford.com now.
