: Hey guys, finally got my Omega!
Congrats!
: $675 (I know, I'm a hard leaner, but I
: really can't afford a new one). This one
I hear that EXCUSE a lot. And it is usually followed with a description of the mistakes someone had then made or the absurd risks they are planning to take.
The truth is that if you believe you "can't afford" a new one, then you certainly can't afford to lose your money on risky purchases through shady sellers.
: one, I consider it WELL worth it, as I've
: wanted one for years! I got the 2062.50.00
: model, black dial/bezel, mid-size, quartz.
Glad you're happy, but this should be a lesson to others that try to cheap out and take unreasonable risks on the excuse of not believing they can afford what they want.
Realize that you will have ended up spending $650+675+95+95 = $1515 to buy a USED mid-size SMP quartz. That's MORE THAN the FULL RETAIL PRICE of $1450 on that watch!
So it is hard to take seriously that you weren't able to afford a new one.
You could have walked in to ANY authorized OMEGA dealer and gotten at least 10-20% off a brand new, fully factory warranteed SMP. Even factoring in local sales tax, that easily would have been $150-300 less than what you spent.
