In Response To: Please Help!!!!!(long) ()

Unfortunately, its a bit late now, but the watch you purchased lists for around $3395 USD. You received a low 11% discount. Many, authorized dealers around the country offer discounts of between 20 and 35 percent and sometimes more. As an example, my SMP (non chrono) lists for $1750. It can be had at a number of dealers in the New York area for around $1050 to $1150 I believe your watch should cost somewhere between $2100 to $2500 USD.

Having said that, Silvermagic is not an authorized dealer and I believe they may remove serial numbers from their watches. Derek can confirm and give you his opinions on purchasing from them. In addition, if they're telling you you can purchase 2 SMP titanium chronos for a little over $3000, there is something very wrong there. That's around a very unlikely 55% discount. Perhaps they are referring to the all steel version which lists for around $2795 each. Even then, the discount they are talking about seems high, but feasible.
