    If you are not aware, sll watches comes from the factory are boxed in this plastic box. Then the shop arrange it in a box case.

    I requested the OB not to open the plastic box till i am present so i check it freshly.

    Interesting. still can't believe you went to ad as you probably paid 20% more than needed.

    Are you confusing AD with OB?

    In either case, why do you think he paid 20% more?



    To the OP - Love the watch and that strap but I do wish it didn't taper as much as Omega made it.

    aren't prices at ADs supposed to be the same as in OBs? I've heard that omega regulates the prices...

    All manufacturers attempt to regulate prices but the ADs are free to do as they choose.

    Rolex, is one MFG that is able to influence the AD the most to keep prices at or close to MSRP which isn't hard to do given their demand.

    AD's will haggle on some watches. Depends on the AD and a bunch of other factors. Yes Omega has taken steps to reduce this about 5 years ago.
