RFX, or anyone who can answer my question..

Is there a way to avoid paying retail for an Omega watch? particularly the Seamaster with the black dial? I see talks about 10 percent off for various Rolex's. I tried searching and found a couple on Amazon. Can anyone vouch for their credibility for buying a watch there?

Thanks.

Ben Bridge is clearing out their Omega stocks right now and they are offering 20% outright without haggling.
Go to the store and see if they have one, if they don't ask them to locate you one if possible.
Most Amazon stores are legit but they are not authorized dealers.
You are better off going to Jomashop.com or Authenticwatches.com.

If you don't mind waiting, PM me and I'll give you some AD you can contact and you'll get a better discount than 10% for sure.
Price on Omegas has increased today though so you just missed out on some discount right there.
Speedys went up by a lot, jumped by 4800 irrc.

I'm assuming this is suppose to be a PAM 188. The thin crown and the protruding cannon pin are a dead give away, and I won't even get started on that on that dial.

Indeed! Dead giveaways , I will give it to him though, he never claimed for them to be authentic, or said anything touting about their value/price... Here is a legit 188, basically the successor to the 162 I have posted up that is my own! Sorry I have been MIA fellas, crazy busy time right now for me! I still owe a few of you a message, and I apologize wholeheartedly! I didn't forget

rfx...whats good w/ tsovet watches? are they any good?

 

[rfx45]

Tsovet are ok but their more of a fashion watch like Burberry.
Not worth it for retail to me.

Also found a very simple but very nice looking Hamilton.
It's a collab w/ N. Hollywood.

Thanks for the help guys. I ended up getting the IWC titanium aquatimer, 3719 model. Since I got a pretty good deal on it, I wanted to get a more dress up watch. Maybe something with a black leather strap. Do you guys have any suggestions?

 

[rfx45]

Post pics of the new IWC if you can.

Whats your budget for the dressy watch?

 

[chixdigggit]

I'll post pics when I get home from the office. I'm looking at 5k to be the max but ideally would prefer to spend around 3500. Do you think the IWC pilot chrono can pass off as a dressy watch?

I sold my 3719 because I thought it was too sporty.  Antrhing with a rotating bezel gives off a sporty look, even a Rolex Sub.  Incidentally, I sold my 3706 because I felt it was too small.  I think the 3717 is a great buy for something that pulls double duty.  It also looks great on a nice leather pilot bracelet.  The AR is magnificent, and the design is superb.  There are a lot of custom makers out there, and you can get a solid pilot strap for about 200, better than the 600 IWC is asking (maybe more with the deployant).

However, you can score a nice Portuguese used off of Timezone at the prices you are looking to pay.  If you are in SoCal then feel free to PM me.  I can get about 30% off IWC since my friend is the PR manager for Chong Hing, an authorized IWC dealer.

$5k is a big budget and yes, the IWC pilot chrono can pass as a dress watch but ti would depend on your wrist size.
On a bigger wrist, maybe 7" or bigger, it can work.

For around $3,500, I highly recommend the Omega Aqua Terra 8500. It is very dressy but can also be pulled off casually.

You can also buy a very nice croc strap for around $100 to replace the bracelet for a much dressier appearance.

Retails is $4,500 (Omega increased their prices recently so I am not sure how much it is now) but oyu cna probably deal it for $3,500.
