·It carries a Jomashop warranty, in plain speak it's a grey market watch not covered by Omega. This usually means the Omega Warranty Card is not included.

·Pretty much within what I expected to happen. Some enablers over here did their almost best to have its beauty supported expecting market price will go up wise as well but with 6969 pieces and Buzz bottom parts on dial it ain’t an easy job. Looks like Apollo 11 will follow the destiny of Apollo 17 40th Ann. Some like me like it a lot, but majority find it well off any reasons being in love with it.
lol,,,, i giggle at buzz bottom..and feel the same way..seems like a whole lotta meh....but the box is cool

·The number on Chrono24 is relatively small, about 25, or less than 0.5% of the total, I dont see massive flipping like a lot of people are arguing.

··Oooo subtitles!I am not sure what you say is right. That would be the case only if warranty card had been lost. In any case grey or not watch has been bought from either OB or AD, and they may not sell the watch without warranty card being dated and provided to buyer. That is the law in EU, and I doubt any other country has it differently.
On an LE like this the lack of card will dent resale significantly, maybe to the tune of 10-15% over a full set but it hardly matters. The bubble has now burst and some flippers may get burnt. If you like the watch all good, if you bought it to make money umm that ship may be sailing as we speak.

·Omega gives you a 3 year warranty on the piece right?
All watches get a 5-years warranty now 😉
Except those bought through Jomashop and co, where the warranty is provided by the seller - 1 year in this case - and no Omega warranty will apply.
They either never get it or it is destroyed. The card identifies the dealer supplying Joma and supports the warranty. The dealers don’t want to be identified and the warranty is void so the card isn’t provided.
The card is just a physical item, it's there only for the customer. Omega doesn't need anything more than the serial number to know where does a watch come from, if required...
I'd rather think guys like Jomashop remove the empty original warranty cards from the sets they sell in order to either avoid conversations with customers who realize they only got one year of warranty instead of five or to prevent people from cheating by filling cards and reselling. 😗

The warranty is only valid if the card is stamped by an official Omega agent, Jomashop are not.
Also the claimed rrp and discounts claimed by Jomashop are nearly always wide on the mark.

·He s right and no that is not the law. Joma warranty the watch themselves, tha satisfies the law, you don’t get the original card and you don’t get an Omega warranty. Of course this is not as good as a full International manufacturer warranty.
On an LE like this the lack of card will dent resale significantly, maybe to the tune of 10-15% over a full set but it hardly matters. The bubble has now burst and some flippers may get burnt. Far be it for me to say I told you so when it was launched.

·Not surprised by this at all. There are a lot of these watches out there, flippers grabbed too many of them. Legit buyers are starting to get tired of waiting. Omega gives you a 3 year warranty on the piece right? So that's definitely worth something above and beyond a 1 year Jomashop warrranty. W.r.t. the warranty card missing, speaking only for myself, its the least valuable part of a complete package to me and If I could save $1500, yeah, I think I could live without a card and a year or two factory warrranty as the cost difference pays for a couple of additional services. I want to have the inner box most of all, and any COA, from there I want an original receipt of purchase as that helps tell a story as I hope any modern watch I buy will eventually become a vintage watch with an interesting story behind it. Hang tags are cool, and lastly the pictogram and warranty cards and the sleeve they come in. But that's just me. I expect to see more of these show up on Grey market, although I don't expect they will fall much below this price, i think this is the bottom.
I believe the warranty on these is 5 years, plus I doubt the price quoted is the actual rrp.

·Anyone else noticed this? Sign up for their e-mail newsletter and you'll also get a $20 voucher. I've done the numbers for Australia, and while the extra AU$1000 might be worth it if you could get it new from a Boutique, this offer from Jomashop looks like it might dent the prices being asked in the secondary marketplace.

·So what are you going to do with your third one now. Not looking such a good buy...

·The authorized dealer that sells them to Joma will destroy the card, or just not give it at all. It's Grey Market because officially the AD's aren't supposed to be offloading these to third party sellers, but in order to cut their losses, they may sell them to Grey dealers at around cost to not lose out on too many watches. If the watches you bought from Joma were stamped by the original AD that sold it to Joma, Omega would be able to trace back to them very quickly and get them in trouble. The way the system works now seemingly works for Omega as in the end of the day they are offloading watches, but I remember a thread where someone stated that Omega wants to cut down on Grey dealers.
Of course, this is just my understanding. Glad to be educated otherwise! ☕
