    Chance meeting led to an Omega Speedmaster Moon Watch

    I struck up conversation with one of the Mum's at my son's diving class. Turns out she works for Omega (sadly she has now left) I asked about discounts and she said they were allowed to buy one a year. She kindly let me have her allocation for 2018 and this arrived early 2019:



    Obviously the full kit including boxes and packaging not normally seen by the customer:



    You could say I was over the moon.

    I got mine from an AD but I got the tags & "coffin" gizmo the watches actually travel in before being "boxed up" backstage at the AD.

    The box within the box comes within 'another box' to protect the outer box in storage and transit.

    The watch and box arrive separate as two items and the watch head comes in its own box and protective plastic blister.

    I know its only extra packaging.

    No comment on yummy mummy.

    She said they are allowed to buy one watch of each brand within the group at 40% discount per year. I bought just before the price increase so effectively 45% off RRP.

    May account for a lot of the below list new watches that can be found on eBay?

    Why? It only adds a few mm all round in storage and protects the package when shipping.

    Yes, just like that.

    I know its silly, but I hardly ever buy a new watch and getting some extra packaging was the icing on the cake for me.
