    No, but it came in such a cool box I couldn’t resist.

    Huh, never heard of that. Any special perks? Google doesn't have anything definitive

    Available at the Omega Boutique. Quick credit check and it showed up via UPS two days later.

    It is a bit strange though. The credit part is pretty cool

    Not sure if you want to call it a perk but it allows 24 month interest free financing. Nice box, wallet and personal note from Arnaud Michon (pretty sure it's a form letter and signature stamp but a nice touch).

    24-month? Damn, that is pretty strong. Never heard of anything past 12 or 14 months. Is it one-time though?

    I believe it's the whole point of the card, all your purchased can be paid for over 2 years. Sweet deal.

    Not a one-time thing. I've used mine to purchase two watches so far (although I've specified 18 months, to give myself an incentive to get the balance paid in a timely fashion). I think some earrings for Mrs. W will end up in her jewelry box for our anniversary thanks to this.

    Not a bad deal if you're already paying full price for a limited edition anyway.

    Actually over $7500.00 it’s 36 months no interest with equal payments. I have the Apollo 11 50th anniversary in that CC. You can always get the free financing on your purchases with them. The length is going to depend on the amount that you are financing.

    I thought we decided that unnecessary luxury items shouldn't be financed. Let me find that thread where we all agreed to that ... ::stirthepot::

    Great. Another vulnerable point for CCs that can be hacked. Hope you gave them those throw-away VISA numbers. ;)

    I do generally prefer not to finance watches (unless it's a super awesome vintage piece and I can swing it in a reasonable timeframe) but 2-3 years is quite attractive for a LE Speedmaster. Will have to look into this...

    I don’t really see a problem with financing anything for zero percent interest. Specially if you don’t get any discounts for paying cash.

    So if I lended you 10k with the condition on paying $278 (0% interest) monthly for 36 months you would not take it?
