    I had a call from the AD today informing me the card had turned up during stocktaking. I can have it if I send the AD's warranty letter back. It's a pity to give up 5 extra years warranty and a free...

    A final update, I got my Omega today and a letter from the dealer confirming the 10 year warranty. It also explicitly stated that the first service would be free (that point was a little vague...

    I don't know for sure, but I would guess they did. I am led to believe dealers pay roughly 55% of list price for Omegas (or maybe they have special arrangements for display / demo watches which this...

    The thing is, that property is a piece of plastic that will only have value when and if I sell the watch, I estimate that value to be under £500 (assuming I sell the watch after 5 years). Since I...

    when you put it like that it does sound like smart business by them. But I'm not sure if they made more money from me, you see, the watch I bought has never been sold before, it was a store...

    I may have made a mistake. Is there not a waiting list for a DJ41? are they cheaper than GMT II ? Well, I like them anyway so I'll take that deal.

    firstly, why should I offer to pay for their mistake? (if they had given me the warranty on the day I purchased the watch this wouldn't have happened)

    Yes they do sell used watches and they have about 40 Rolex (what is that the plural?) listed at the moment, but none of them are the sports models and none are above list price.
