Re: First Omega AT Purchase
In Response To: First Omega AT Purchase ()

:I would try contacing Omega dealers in larger cities such as LA, SF, Chicago or NY. I have found that you get far better deals in larger cities. And yes an AD will be willing to ship anywhere you are willing to pay them to ship.

Amazon does not sell Omegas directly. They provide a service much and will direct you to a non AD for purchase. This works in the same way as you are buying a used book. This is commonly REF to as the Grey market.

I would strongly suggest buying a new watch from an AD because you get the Omega warranty which you will not get over the internet. My advice is go to Omegas site and start calling AD's in the cities I mentioned and find the best price availabe.

Good Luck
