I see... When I was browsing Filene's Basement I was shocked to see Omega, (not just the SMP Quartz they had 3 women's watches and an AT w/o box or ppw!), Breitling, IWC, and Movado. The prices for all these watches were too good to be true. I think they may either have something wrong with them or... who knows, they don't come with the box. You only get 5 days to get your money back and once the thing is sized you get NOTHING BACK.

I think I'll stick with authorized dealers. So I take it these authorized dealers may have been going out of business so they sold their stock to Filene's Basement? And why don't they include a box? They just wrap it up in one of their gift boxes. Strange...
