    How does it get delivered to an AD? I thought all STs had to be picked up at an Omega Boutique.

    Why would an employee not pay taxes?

    I have an Ultraman coming next week, I also don’t have any ‘overhead’ if I decided to sell...

    Nope. My watch is coming to our local AD. I got to choose what. OB/AD I wanted to go to.

    People are treating this AD employee as if he ‘is’ the AD. How much would such an employee earn annually compared to the average OF member? (Don’t anyone answer specifically!!!). I’m guessing he earns ‘on average’ less than many or most of us. I don’t get the hate for him...

    What? Physical violence for participating in a free and open market? What harsh dictatorship do you live under?

    The kid works ‘at and AD’... I didn’t understand that the kid ‘is the AD’.

    Now physical violence is deserved for physical appearance? I hope you’re joking (although violence isn’t funny to me...)

    You don’t see people who work for the Lotto playing the Lotto. Would it be ok if he flipped an Ultraman another customer returned to his AD? Of course it wouldn’t.

    You obviously know something that the rest of us don't. Please do tell.

    He did not get anything special in how he acquired it, nor paid any less.

    Do you know something we don’t? He’s acting as a private individual and is just like you or me, he just happens to have annnouced he works for an AD.

    I could be wrong but I thought there was at least one respected member here that is a grey market dealer that members refer to when somebody asks about buying a new watch.

    If he worked in the Omega office that handled taking of orders and managed to get a watch that was taken out of the pool available for private citizens to reserve, then your analogy might make sense, but that’s not at all what happened per the story...

    I don’t see the harm he’s causing it’s just bad optics for the AD. Kinda sleezy. If I were the guy’s boss I’d dock his pay by one pickled herring.

    My understanding from speaking to ADs is that in the future ADs will have to work up a profile of the customer including what watches the customer currently owns, how long the customer has collected watches etc in order to ensure that limited edition Omegas go to collectors rather than flippers.
