: I too bought "grey market" and am extremely
: satisfied. I still say read the "Omega Horror
: Story" web sight about someone that got rooked by an
: authorized dealer. Everytime someone says they saved over
: 35% from an authorized dealer I never see them post where
: they bought from. Doesn't Omega forbid their authorized
: dealers from selling below 20%?

: Dave. All the dealers I talked with said the best they could do was 20%. Diamonddepot.com was at 44% plus saving the 6% sales tax. On a $3400.00 watch that is a chunck of change. They send it in the red box with all the paper work but the factory warrenty and serial #. As the watch has a serial number inside the case I don't see the reason to grind it off. If Omega wanted to find the dealer selling these they could take them in for repairs for a fee and read the numbers from the inside to track the watch back if they really want too.
