just pulled the trigger on my first omega watch i was back and forth for weeks trying to decide between breitling and omega but at the end the price on amazon won me over. is it just me or is this a good price from a reputable dealer (even got free overnight shipping)? i havent bought from amazon before, but by all accounts they do a good job.

stoked for tuesday!

 

that is awesome, i am so excited.

i dont know if anyone could answer this (excuse my ignorance), but i am kind of looking around trying to figure out why the watch is being sold at a 35% discount...is it a "last years" model? i went onto the omega website and its up there with the rest of the collection.

 

thanks, i figured it was something of the sort

 

Pre-owned can be found on ebay for 3500 US. The retail that Amazon quotes is at the highest end. Nice watch BTW

 

i am so paranoid about getting watches from ebay...i bought an oris a few years ago and it ended up being an oris casing with a non oris movement...

 

I'am even worse.......never bought anything on line. Does not mean it can't work out for many.

 

perhaps i should have been asking this before buying the watch but whats i the deal with the 3313 movement? i guess some people seem to have issues with it? reading about it seems like there are different iterations (A, B, C)?

 

when did they stop making watches with the 3313? is the 9300 the replacement in-house movement?

 

I've got the 3313 .pdf from Omega showing what needs to be done to the Piguet based chronographs to make them right. Can't upload the file for some reason though. I can e-mail you if you want to see it. Page 4 and 5 (of 24 pages) show the madated repairs and replacement parts necessary. It was supposed to be done while being serviced whether needed or not at that time.

 

send it please, ill take a look.

i hope i get a "later" version of the 3313...i guess i would since its new. should i send the serial to omega to have them tell me which movement i have? does it matter? a?b?c? i assume the later ones have more issues that are fixed?

another question...

how can i make sure the watch is authentic once i receive it? should i take it down to teurnau and have them check it?

 

Done.

 

thank you sir.

 

The only problem with purchasing your watch through Amazon is they offer a 2 year warranty vs. 3 year from Omega. Omega will not honor the warranty because it was not purchased through an Authorized Omega Dealer. But considering what you paid for yours vs. what I paid for mine from an AD, you are money ahead. I'm sure the watch is authenic coming from Amazon, but you can always post pictures once you receive it and there are plenty of members that can verify it's authenticity. By the way, nice choice. It was my first Omega too!

 

will post pictures when i get the watch...tuesday cant come soon enough.

 

anyone use a winder? i am currently watchless since my oris got stolen last week...so this will be my one and only watch. that being said, i do work from home a lot and my oris spent plenty fo time on the shelf. any advantages to using an automatic winder? does it effect the mechanism function in the long term?
