Other than my dealer whom you already know, I am unaware of anyone that deals in Omegas as our guys do here on the sales corner.

My dealer's discounts on Omegas are about as good as they get.

There are some trusted sellers on eBay that we go to for pre-owned Speedy Pros.

Thanks!

I have been wanting the ladies SS olympic watch, and I NEVER see it used. I figure it wasn't a bad idea to get some more ideas.

Cheers!

I typically get used speedmaster pro's once in a while but used ladies omegas you might have to go to an AD or through Fr. John's source.

DavidSW can get anything. PM him a model # and let him work his magic!

I've bought three or four Speedmasters over several years from jmryshi on eBay. He's THE pre-owned Omega source on eBay and offers nothing but top quality authentic watches. All my purchases from him were near mint and Ok'd by my Omega AD.

Just my luck I decided I wanted a discontinued watch.

And I have to say the guy that multiple people referred to me in DC hasn't even responded to my inquiries. My guess is he didn't have it, but the fact that he can't even respond gives me a feeling.

DavidSW couldn't get the watch, but at least he replied promptly.

A few folks on TimeZone said they saw my specific desired watch at Omega Boutiques, so I have to take time to call those places and see if they still have it. I know it'll be full retail though, so I'm not overly excited about that part of it.

Cheers!

Suzy

Did you speak with him personally?

All of my new Omegas have come from him since 2003 and I have never known him not to get back with anyone.

Yep. Last time, and he didn't call me back.

And this time I emailed, he replied, I replied back and he didn't respond with the final answer.

DavidSW would be the guy I'd go to next time for sure!

I would try to call him and speak to him rather than email. He has a lot of customers and I'm sure he has a lot of things going on. Last time we spoke, he told me he had over 2,000 customers from various watch forums alone

Whenever I call him and someone says he is busy, I just call back a little later and try again. Plus, I find things go much more quickly than via email.

Good luck!

Jim receives several hundred emails/day so the telephone is really the only reliable way to communicate with him.

Plus, Jim is, to put it kindly, "technologically challenged" which is not unusual for someone his age. He'll be 79 next Friday.

And being "old school", he much prefers speaking personally with his customers over the phone.

I never would have guessed that! I've talked to him many times over the past 5 years and I pictured him to be much youunger.
