Tourneau Told me recently that I’m irder to carry Rolex they were no longer carrying Omega. Same as Ben Bridge. Interestingly enough, Tourneau recently bought Baron & Leeds (exclusive Rolex Boutique) that is locates two doors down from the Omega boutique in Costa Mesa, CA (South Coast Plaza)

Could be a CA only thing. But that could be a reason why they don’t have them there.

$18? Such a deal!! In 2008, my wife and I wanted the NYC rooftop cocktail experience. $22 per drink was the cost of entry.

Wow, you got the roof top rip off. As someone who has lived in Manhattan for over 18 years, $22 is exorbitant even for NYC - but they do charge you a premium for roof top. I find that roof top cocktails are not only overly expensive, but also not very good.

I'm a Martini and Old Fashioned guy (mostly martini). In NYC if I'm paying $14-16 for a martini I'm happy, for $18 it'd better be fantastic, and for $20 or more it had better be the best damn cocktail I've ever had! But then I go somewhere, say like the midwest, and order a martini and when the bill comes I do one of these 😲, and then one of these 🙁 next time I have to buy one in NYC!

Good $14 cocktails in the city are somewhat hard to find nowadays I think the norm starts at $16

There are 2 boutiques in manhattan that I know of. Ive been to both. One up by times square and another right by 9-11 memorial. But honestly you are seriously crazy to buy an omega watch from one of their boutiques. They charge retail!

Oh, that was then! Yes, paid a premium for the rooftop thing but now when in NYC it's Employees Only, Flatiron Lounge or Little Branch. Or wherever our friends decide to take us. Love the strong 'adult' slush drinks at Tipsy Parson in Chelsea. Great for hot summer days, but boy o Boy! Watch out! These days, however, I make my own killer Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, Negroni and Kentucky Mules.

I can’t tell you whether you’ll get a discount at the OB on Fifth Avenue (although I doubt it), but I can tell you that the staff there is exceptionally courteous, professional and friendly. Truly a class act. I’ve purchased two Omegas, neither of them from that OB, but every time I’ve gone in to window shop they treat me like royalty and serve me champagne and chocolates while I’m looking. Rather than traveling to a brick and mortar AD, had you thought about buying from one of the recommended sellers on this forum?

......The rest of my experience there was terrific, from being served coffee to the cocktail bar. I was shown some vintage pieces that they had for sale, was never once made to feel like I should consider anything other than what I went there to buy.
