In short I agree with Qwiklap's points. The overall experience was pretty cool. Greeted, then left alone until I wanted some help. I was brought a bottle of water without asking, tried on a bunch of Seamasters (damn nice watches BTW) and found the saleperson to be pretty knowledgeable. No pressure or sales pitching going on! I actually didn't talk much about pricing. I wasn't even wearing my Speedy Pro but had on my Sub C. That worked out well for comparison purposes since I was checking out Omega's dive collection. The visit concluded with some nice catalogues, a few pdf print outs of the watches I looked at and a nice red Omega shopping bag. Of course, I didn't need the bag to hold that stuff but a good marketing move by Omega. People walking all around the mall with those red bags = free advertising! In the end I think the boutique approach will work for new buyers getting introduced to the brand. This will allow the boutiques to build new relationships. However, I personally will continue to patronize the AD I bought my Speedy from (thanks again to Fr. John!). On a side note - Omega kicks Rolex butt when it comes to availability of things like catalogues, accessories, etc... at least here in the USA. That has always been a thorn in my side about Rolex. Here are few pics of what they gave me. |
