[Jomashop.com] Omega watch sale (US)

Deal Link:
Although I cannot comment how good are all those prices, but some prices are definitely better than what you can get in Caribbean (for example, the moon watch). Free shipping in US. Good deal if you have family or friends in US.

Worth noting is the warranty:
Warranty service for this watch will be offered through Jomashop and not the manufacturer. Omega watches have a 4 year Jomashop warranty.

First thing to note is
Jomashop is not an authorized dealer of omega. Omega is not going to warrant that watch, Jomashop does.

The watch may be authentic but most likely the serial number will be sketch off. There's definitely no warranty from Omega. Everything would need to go through Jomashop and shipping back and forth is a pain. Replacing parts will be another pain, because they may not use OEM parts. That's when the trouble accumulates.
The sales seems attractive. i.e. 33% off retail but many find its not worth that hassle you may get the front end saving, and pray there's nothing wrong with the watch, otherwise it will come and bite you back.
go on the net, and you will find all the discussions about buying from authorized or not.
I did lots of research and reading.. for me, its not worth it. Besides.. I managed to find a authorized retailer to sell me with 25% discount. I was very close of buying for my wife. She would rather spend that money on jewelries...
25% is definitely pushing.. but 20% discount is not that hard to negotiate..

So share your source for 25% off. Also you can get it serviced by Al Archer in Ontario with genuine parts.

Check Jomashop or AuthenticWatches near Christmas, I've seen prices goes as low as 55% off retail price. Yes, you don't get manufacturer's warranty but I've read depending on which brand, manufacturer's warranty does not necessarily means the 'best' warranty. Anyways, I've bought two Oris (close to 50% each) from AuthenticWatches last year, no problems.

Grey market watches, prices may be good but if something goes wrong don't expect much of that "4 year" warranty.

IMHO if you're paying over $1K, go with an Authorized dealer. You may be able to haggle with them and get up to 25% off depending on how badly they want to sell something, you have nothing to lose by trying.

Duty free. I bought my breitling duty free on my Alaskan cruise and saved a lot (granted I haggle for ages to get it down beyond their initial offering).
Please don't ask or beg for "thanks". Don't act like this is Facebook. If someone found your post helpful, let them decide if they want to make that click. The more you beg, the less you'll get. Cheers

You will unlikely need servicing within the first four years of a watch from Omega, so I wouldn't be that worried. Anything after warranty is fair game to be serviced by whoever.

I would probably bring it to Swatch group instead of Archer due to the servicing warranty.

Note that Costco sells grey market Omega's too and they have their own warranty.

Agree you can get 20% or so off at a local AD.

My Rolax is a thing a beauty. Nobody even notices that it's not a Rolex... Now if I could just buy a counterfeit car I would not need to win the lottery so badly!

In fairness to the counterfeiters, there are some impressive quality replicas out there.
What are you implying? They are fake?

These places sell real watches with full warranties from their respective manufacturers. I think you should actually think about what you are saying and check your sources before crapping this thread with worthless info.

Hey, I was interested in getting a replica. Could you share your source where you got your Rolex from? Thank you. =)

The serial numbers are in no way scratched off as one previous poster suggested. The watches are simply grey market, meaning the only difference is who the warranty is offered through. With watches like Omega, Breitling an Rolex, the odds of any of those watches needing service in the first few years is extremely remote. These are brands that command high prices due to high wuality, not just because they are the posh thing to wear right now. I bought a Breitling from Jomashop a few years ago, came in the original box hust like from an AD. I still see the same watch for sale in every Breitling store I visit. I would not hesitate again to buy from them if the price is right. AD pricing on watches is getting quite high these days, for what you save if something did go wrong you could pay the AD to fix it and still come out ahead. These watches are all the real thing and Jomashop was good to deal with in my experiences.

FYI, I bought an Oris from Jomashop years ago as a gift. It turns out to be perfectly fine. No scratched off serial number and the watch is still working great today. Their prices are better than Caribbean as I have just been there a few months ago. You get offered 10% off on Omega, with negotiation, you may push to 15% or even 20% off. But not close to 30% off. I think more people have access to US market by having family or friends there compare to a trip to Caribbean. Yes, it's grey market for Jomashop but you do save a lot on watches thousands of dollar. Maybe it's not for everyone, but to me, it's a good deal.

same experience here - bought grey market Breitling from them couple years ago - perfect condition, no scratched off serial numbers. Much of the grey market watches come from AD's. AD's need to retain a certain number of sales or purchase a certain number of watches from manufacturer to keep their AD status. When they can't sell as many watches as they order - they simply sell it under the table to grey market dealers.

Carribean and other duty free places are not necessarily a bad place for a great deal on luxury items. However, you have to know where to look. Places that a cruise director suggests and other places that tours take you - you will not get a good deal. It's all BS - cruise/tours get a kick back, if they don't own the shops themselves. I was on a cruise in May - and I love how they try to sell diamonds. The person on the cruise says she's a gemologist - and to tell a good diamond is see how it sparkles. No freakin mention of the C's... or grading certificate. They just say their dome of light cutting sparkles way better than other cuttings - of course it does, more facets, reflect more light, but hides more inclusions in the diamond.

Anyway - back on topic. My friend worked in Bermuda for a few years... the luxury retailers there - have 30-35% off MSRP for most watches, and they are ADs.

Locally, I've had friends that got 25-30% off MSRP on Omega... but that's YMMV on your negotiation skills.

BTW - IIRC, my breitling was 53% off... haven't seen it for this kind of discount since... and CAD was higher than USD back then, even with credit card conversion rate, it was even. Shipped it to Vegas hotel, as I as going for vacation - no state taxes... declare it, but since was there with a few buddies - had well more than enough exemption room.

This was the breitling deal I got.
