Hi,

Give me an e-mail. I know the cheapest dealer that will offer 38% off with free shipping. It was 40% off but some ungreatful person e-mailed me, then reported the store to Omega and the salesrep said 40% was too much.

: I talked to worldwatches already, they are out
: of stock for 4weeks++ :(

: The best local Authorized dealer price is
: AU$2200. The Pacific Time price is approx
: AU$1580 + AU$56 Customs + 10% = AU$1795

: I still think $405 is too much to pay for
: Manufacturer warranty esp when a repair
: costs Approx AU$250 to send to Omega Factory
: in Switzerland, I can send it twice and
: still be ok! Also a friend has had 3 Omega
: watches with no warranty claims at all.

: Basically my main concern is 1st and formost
: Serial Number, then Manufacturer warranty.

: But if I can get a Authorised dealer price that
: comes close to AU$1800 YOU GOT A DEAL! :D
