I was in the omega boutique this evening, and tried on one of the new Seamaster two tones. After leaving in seriously considering purchasing it, I checked Chrono24 and there are several for a good 25-30% below retail BNIB.

I have a buddy who purchased an omega speedmaster sapphire sandwich at full retail price. Moon phase and date complication. Realistically a great value for the complications. Yet, like many other Omegas it drops by $2,000 right out the door. 6,100 to $4000.

I know there’s a discussion of “value” and not buying a watch just because of its value. Still, I can’t bring myself to buy an omega at retail. Even BNIB Grey is usually 30% cheaper. If I’m wrong, please correct me, but yikes! I’ve never asked for a discount, because I assume it won’t approach grey prices. Anyone else feel this way?
