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

·Lars probably won’t pay any taxes and overhead for his ill gotten gain. Ain’t the same.
I have an Ultraman coming next week, I also don’t have any ‘overhead’ if I decided to sell...

·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...

·Just my opinion, but there is a noticeable distaste for AD's selling to grey market dealers on OF. Here we have a little douche buying a watch at place of employment to sell at a rather large profit. Just looking at his face is enough to warrant a beating.
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...)

·If you or I could order a watch from Omega and have it shipped to our house I would say no harm no foul.
Definitely is not right in my book. But my book could different than some.

··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...Just so I understand here, my Norwegian is a little rusty.
My little friend Lars
-works at a Omega boutique
-Got one on the same waiting list web application as everyone else and paid the same amount as any private individual
-recieved and paid for the watch from the boutique that he selected on the website like everyone else
-immediately sold the watch to some watch enthusiast for $4,000 above retail, just like at least 1 OF member that I know about

·Doesn’t seem to square with Omega’s new customer profiling policy or the brand’s attempts to limit resale of their watches

··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...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.
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.

·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.

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