Believe me, you want the Omega 5 Warranty. Sent my new 3861 in the first week I wore it, Power Reserve issues. Took 6 weeks but it back on my wrist every day and last I checked, a 60 hour +/- Power Reserve plus a flawless timekeeper. Returned bad parts and no charge either way. The DoN bezel and the stepped dial are irresistible👍
I really wouldn't be buying a 3861 at this time. Frankly, in general, Omega seems to be having more than its share of technical problems with their modern movements. Not the best brand these days IMO.

What if the silly dealer games involve them shitting in your hands and making you clap, whilst you say “yes daddy I like it, please sell me a watch”? I’ve heard that’s going to be a requirement for 2023 Rolex’s.

I think it's a matter of 'it's not who you know, it's who you blow at Rolex'.

I'd buy a vintage birth year speedy.
Bought my Speedy in 1994... it ran every day until 2016... over 20 years before needing a service 👍
Just curious: was there many parts that needed replacement due to wear?
Omega changed the spring, the little hands of the subdials, the gasket and the hesalite glass... these parts came back in a little plastic bag.
I don't buy anything from boutiques or ADs, but given that the 3861 has had some issues, I'd probably make an exception in case I needed the warranty. You don't say where you're located, but if you're in the U.S., OF member Demollo is a great seller of new 3861 Speedies, both hesalite and sapphire, for a substantial discount and with the warranty. He's located in Poland.
