Ashford is not an Authorized Dealer........
In Response To: Ashford.com authorized dealer? ()

But they are a very reputable Gray Market dealer(see the section on Gray Market Dealers on this site). I have a watch on order from them right now (my 3d out of 4 Omegas). The Warranty which Ashford offers is only good through Ashford. Omega does not honor it's Warranty on watches not sold by Authorized Dealers. The Ashford warranty is for a total of three years. If you want an Omega Warranty, you must purchase from an Authorized Omega Dealer. Many of their standard discounts can be matched or beaten by some Authorized Dealers. The trick to buying from Ashford is to catch the watch you want at a great price, or find an Ashford coupon which give you the savings not attainable from an Authorized Dealer. Ashford has an unbelievable price right now on the Omega Speedmaster Professional Display Back in their Winter Sale section. It is $1276 or nearly 59% off the $3095 MSRP (the watch I have coming to me). I do think on many items though (perhaps what you are looking at) it would be better to go with a good Authorized Dealer who can give you a good discount. All things being basically equal, I'd prefer to go Authorized.
