Re: Grey Market Watch Supply
In Response To: Grey Market Watch Supply ()

The way they do this is as follows. A smaller unathurized watch store/Jewler contact a Autherized omega dealer and works out a deal with them. for example, The unautherized dealer offers to buy 100 SMP at $200 dollars over there cost. The Autherized dealer then buys the watches they need plus 100 extra SMP for the unathurized dealer. The unathurized dealer then pays the autherized dealer for the 100 SMP. Then the autherized dealer removes the serial number from the watch's and sells them to the un autherized dealer. The remove the serial number so that omega can not trace the watches back to the autherized dealer. BY THE WAY STAY AWAY FROM GRAY MARKET OMEGAS!!!!!! YOU CAN NOT GET THEM WORKED ON OR EVEN SIZED!!!!!!!! NO WARENTEE!!!!!! SPEND THE EXTRA $500 DOLLARS AND GET A WATCH THAT YOU CAN HAVE WORKED ON AND PASS DOWN TO YOUR KIDS...
