Great Deals on Omegas for Military Personnel

Just got through searching the new AAFES (PX) online catalog. Great deals on OMega (and Tag Huer as well) for US Military and Contractor personnel. Great prices, big discounts. AAFES is a AD for Omega and Tag and will ship to APO addresses.

As for Omega, they carry the full line of Seamasters, Planet OCeans, Speedmasters, and the Railmaster.

Nice tool watches for military personnel!!!

Starting to think much better deal than Rolex, due to price, better lumination and the AR coated crystals.

And AAFES provides Free Shipping and NO Sales Tax as well!!!!!!!

Yes, and for 30 days on either side of your birthday you get a 10% of coupon in the mail for the PX as well!

Yep, AAFES beats out any Grey Dealer for a good deal on an Omega, and AAFES is an AD as well!!

I recently heard they lost the contract with Omega and that AAFES is selling out the last bit of Omegas they have in stock. Also, as of right now they are only mail order throught their catalog. You can not purchase them through their exchanges, unless they actually have one on hand, etc.... I wished it was'nt true!

Is this available to anyone? Or do you have to only be a military guy?

They will only ship to a US Military Installation or APO AE address. So you must be either Military Personnel or a Contrator with Orders (Letter of Authorization) stating authorization to use the PX.

I looked at the online catalogue when you first posted this, Chad. They had NOTHIN'. Great deal, in theory--but they had very little to choose from.

Watchhunting seems to be a perpetual tease.

Do you have an account and logged into the web site? Just checked and they have over 3 web pages worth of different Omega models for sale, and the same for Tag. They have most of the popular Omegas and most of the popluar Tags for sale to start with. I would hardly call that nothing. For Omega had Planet Oceans, Railmaster, Speedmasters, Constellations, and Seamasters.

I looked at it again. They do have a few, but nothing I want--maybe why I remembered the pickins being slim. I'm looking for a Speedy Date, DeVille (GMT or chrono), or maybe an AT or RM chrono.

They've got a full page of Constellations. I don't know anyone who likes the Constellation. I'm sure some people do, just nobody that I know.

Actually they will ship anywhere. It does not have to be a post or APO. I did my Christmas shopping online last year and shipped all over the US.

The bad news is that if I buy you an Omega I can lose my PX privileges.

The good news is that the US ARMY is hiring and you can sign up and get your own Omega! :-)

Way back when you had to have overseas orders to buy a Rolex at AAFES. Is that the case with these Omegas?
