I bought mine from Jomashop, and have it maintained @ Omega Boutique. Couldn't be happier. Just my 2 cents. |

The only concern with Jomashop is resale. Jomashop items do not have a factory warranty and the resale value takes a hit if you want to sell it. I sold a watch I purchased from Jomashop... I took a hit on my watch value because everyone wanted the warranty cards from an AD.

It's a pity they don't do the 45.5mm case in steel anymore without a chronograph complication.

It will come with Jomashop own warranty. I'd rather spend the extra money for piece of mind and buy at least from a online trusted seller. I could have spent a little less and bought one that had an overseas AD warranty card, but I wanted one from the US. |

I'm talking about paying for the $550 maintenance service where the watch gets completely taken apart, every part inspected and cleaned, replace all the gaskets, etc etc. Except this service would be done with a brand new grey market Omega instead of an older non grey market Omega that just needs maintenance. Would Omega let a customer pay the $550 to service a grey market Omega and then would they still put the 2 year warranty that is included in the factory service? |

I wouldn't hesitate to buy from a grey market dealer.
I usually don't buy current models in any case (none really appeal to me enough to want to - yet), but I don't care about warranty and have my watches serviced in the after market by qualified service people at much lower price than sending it to Omega. There doesn't seem to be an issue with them getting original parts from Omega, although price can vary. I just had a 15 year old rose gold and titanium Seamaster in for a full service and was told the crown had a worn thread (and hard to get in 18K rose gold) and cost $500 in Canada. Managed to find it in the US and got it here for around $200 less after taxes and shipping. If you want really good condition used watches, look to Japan. I bought a Speedmaster that came with all original box and material and it looked brand new - I doubt the owner wore it more than a few times! There are several reputable Ebay sellers in Japan that sell watches made within the last decade or so for reasonable prices. |

Can't say 100%, but I would say with high certainty that any watch Omega services will come with a warranty for their work. |

Like mentioned above, they won't honor the Omega warranty if it wasn't purchased from an AD, but you can pay for the service and then they'll warranty that service. I used to even send watches back to Bienne for that, not sure if Omega still lets you do that. There's a pretty vibrant after market community so Omega sees a lot of watches with a lot of different owners getting service. Just make sure, especially if you're buying grey market or second hand, that the watch does have intact serial numbers. |

Went to try on the Speedmaster Racing with the yellow rubber strap. Really fell in love. Might try and pull the trigger on one by the end of the summer.
I?ve always wanted a good chronograph, and the Rolex Daytona is just too far out of reach right now (and has a stupid waiting list unless you want to pay 30% markup putting the steel watch at over $17k). I?d rather save up for the stainless skydweller with the blue face
