Incoming!

I bought my first Omega!
I went to my local Authorized dealer on Saturday intending to purchase. I wrongly assumed it would be easy to get a break off the msrp, but was totally wrong. I was told maybe they could take off 5%. So I left and immediately called a local jeweler who sourced me the watch at a great discount. Picked it up today after work.

Yes. That is certainly the impression i have after listening to other experiences. I'm thinking that maybe omega are tired of giving discounts when Rolex buyers are paying large sums over msrp. Maybe with the reduction in supply they want to make as much profit as possible from every sale. Did the grey dealer indicate how long ago he got the watch in?

Perhaps, you may have had a hard time getting anything off MSRP, based on the fact you live in Boca Raton!

Glad you received a deal you are happy with!

Wear your new Seamaster diver in good health!
