In Response To: Buying my first Omega, help? ()

Would really love you guys help...

: Alright, I am about the take the plunge and get
: my first Omega, a Bond style SMP Chronograph
: (2225.80). I have been bouncing around the
: idea of waiting for Co-Axial but decided the
: SMP-C is a great, solid, proven design,
: Right?

: I have been shopping around and spoke to
: Tourneau via phone order today. I was
: surprised that they were actually great on
: price and very friendly. They were over a
: hundred less than the local AD here. I don't
: know if it is taboo to talk prices here? If
: not, what do you guys think is a good price?

: Does anyone have experience buying from
: Tourneau over the phone? If not, anyone deal
: with the store? I am tempted to go with it
: but would really appreciate some feedback
: from anyone with experience with them. I
: looked around the web for reviews on them
: and it was mixed what little I could find.

: Also, has anyone used them for service? Their
: price for an two year warranty (for
: everything Omega doesn't cover) was good too
: but should I pay for a two year warranty
: when the first service isn't until at least
: 3 years? This is going to be an everyday
: watch for me.

: Are there any other good alternatives for
: service you guys suggest? Should I just not
: get the extended warranty, wait and send it
: to Omega direct when it needs it?

: Any other first buyer advice?
