Help with pricing???

Hello everyone! I am new to world of fine watches. I currently own a few different models of Tissot's and am looking to purchase my first Omega. I have been looking at Ben Bridge jewlers and am interested in the Mid size Aqua Terra. They are asking 2,900 for it. Is this an exceptable price?

Thanks for any help

What's the MSRP on it?

Ben Bridge doesn't really discount much. On an Omega, it's common to get at least 20% off.

The MSRP is 2,900. They said they do not take anything off of MSRP. Where would I look to get a better deal or maybe a pre owned one?

Thanks

Interesting...I got 5% off my wife's Rolex from them. Of course, anything more than 5% requires them to call a VP supposedly. So it's BS that they don't discount.

I would find other Omega ADs in your area and tell them that you're interested in purchasing and ask them how much they are willing to budge on the price. You can get good deals on a new one, so I wouldn't move too quickly on buying pre-own unless you absolutely can't get a better price. Remember that it doesn't hurt to ask for a discount so ask every Omega AD that you can.

Is discounting normal?

Omega ADs discount a lot. For example, have a look at www.prestigetime.com for the prices/discounts and go shopping with the ADs.
