Just picked up this Omega tray. Hopefully, this isn't stolen but hey, it's pretty cool to have for whatever senseless WIS reason.
If you want to try on a watch at the boutique or an AD, they're supposed to put on gloves and take out this tray and place the watch there. Maybe it prevents scratches or something, no idea.
Enjoy your tray. Here is the one I've purchased on bay for my explorer 2 ...Sometimes you can get really good stuff for cheap money and its not stolen or fake))))
Valet trays like that are often given out as gifts by brand boutiques. I got an Omega one when I picked up my Speedy Tuesday. Wouldn't worry about it being stolen The tray that OP got, however.... while I don't think it's stolen, those aren't usually given to customers. Could be from a closed OB though, or from an AD who lost their Omega account when Omega opened up an OB nearby.
Hmm. So I looked on the underside of the tray and it has the address of the boutique stamped multiple times. It's a Swatch-owned boutique in Paris, not an AD store. Store is still in business. The seller of the tray sold and shipped it from Brisbane, Australia. The mystery deepens...
Aussie tourist in Paris: "Mate, if you expect me to be paying that price for a watch, you can throw the bloody tray in with it" OB salesman: "Certainly Monsieur, and will that be cash or credit....?"
Being an Ocker from Brissy, it was probably more like: "Hey mate, what's that behind you! " Pittatapatta, pittatapatta, pittatapatta, pittatapatta (sound of a bloke running away while wearing thongs) "Merde, où est-il allé? "
So it was from an Hour Passion Boutique? These trays are used when showing watches and not meant to given away to any customers. Also, you can use leather cleaner to clean any spots on the creme leather. It looks like to be in great shape.
It didn't come from Cairns, Australia? Hope the Hulk looks good on it. And thanks for the positive feedback.
If it came from my neck of the woods it would have had the gloves with it as well. Title always reminds me of this http://www.thecoast.net.nz/shows/ni...ralian-man-tried-to-sell-new-zealand-on-ebay/
LOL, didn't think that the seller would be a fellow collector. At least now I know it's not stolen! And yes, the Hulk looks sassy on it
