    Do you guys have a recommendation for an AD that you can send me for my 1st Omega. I am looking for a Omega Speedmaster Professional 311.30.42.30.01.005

    Thanks so much!

    Where are you located? You could also search Omega's website for their list of dealers in your area.

    Have you done a search for an AD in your area?

    I bought that watch at https://www.chitownwatch.com/

    Very happy with the transaction and the watch. Good luck.

    Thanks... but it looks like from their site that they're not an authorized dealer but they buy from authorized dealers... interesting

    yea I'll check them out... they seem to not have their prices online and that area is usually known for their inflated prices

    Physical ADs will always be more expensive than one of the online dealers, but Chitownwatch and Kringkily both are honorable, legit sellers.

    You could also check Omega's website, look around the homepage for the store / dealer locator and enter your ZIP

    Not necessarily. I got my Breitling for the same discount as most established grey market dealers (Jomashop, WatchMaxx, etc.) by printing out their pages and taking them to Bailey, Banks, and Biddle who were a Breitling AD at the time. I ordered a special mother of pearl dial for it and they still gave the same percentage off.

    I routinely use a local multi-brand AD that gives nice discounts too. Even if it's a few bucks more, the peace of mind is worth it.

    I've purchased 3 watches from Matt at Manfredi. Very easy to deal with and they do discount.

    There's an AD in Hartford, Armstrong Rockwell on Trumbull Street. There are a few others in CT - Greenwich, Fairfield, Norwalk, and Foxwoods as others have mentioned.

    If you want a boutique, that's at the Natick Mall in MA.

    They don't need to, because their official price is the MSRP for whatever country you are in, and Omega's site will have them on line...

    Just pick the model you want, and click the magic button:

    And all is revealed:

    Any negotiations to lower this price would have to be done either face to face or by phone likely...

    Cheers, Al

    Now that's certainly different, we don't have many users of Mint on the site.
