Looking to buy my fiancé the Speedmaster Racing current edition as an engagement watch. It’s listed as $8,750 on Omega’s website; Geneva Seal (in Chi where we live) quoted me $8,200 all-in & they’ll cover tax; my jeweler knows a watch broker in NY who quoted me $8,250. I’m not at all familiar with this process so 1) can anyone recommend a better venue for this purchase? 2) are any of the quotes I’ve gotten so far good? (My friend’s watch guy said brokers can get Omegas up to 36% off retail?)

Check with Timeless Luxury Watches in Plano Tx. They are an authorized Omega dealer, really good guys, I have bought 3 watches from them within a year. Really competitive prices and no tax. Ask for Steve.

Hey John - I was able to get a hold of Steve and had a great purchasing experience with him. Arrived yesterday! Thanks again for the suggestion.

Jared is an AD, when I was shopping for a speedy pro I went in to try on (professional vs FOIS), and they immediately offered 10% off retail, and 5 min later offered 20% if I bought that day.... would ty them out, just call first to make sure the location has in stock. Good luck!

Which model exactly? I think you could probably do better.

Thank you so much! I will give this a try. 🤞

Potentially dumb question: is Jomashop legit and is there a reason I shouldn’t purchase from them? It looks like it doesn’t come with an Omega five-year warranty, but you can always send it to Omega at any point afterwards for servicing for $750 (which then comes with a two-year warranty), correct?

Gotcha— thank you!!

I think the Tag Aquaracer is a cool watch

30th birthday present watch accessory ideas.

A lot of knowledge on here so asking for some help. It’s my partner’s birthday and I’ve no idea what to buy him. He’s a watch fanatic - Pateks (sports and dress), Audemars (sports and dress), Rolex (sports), Omega (sports).

I’m obviously not buying him a watch for his birthday (in his dreams!) but any idea for some good accessories? He’s already got a PP watch winder, and has bought multiple nice straps for the dress watches. I’m completely lost.

Why would a luxury watch brand make/sell connected or smart watches? What is the business reason for it? To me it just kills the brand value. For instance I was a big fan of Montblanc but after I see their smart watch line up I instantly devalued the brand in general. Same for Tag (tag is questionable anyways), or Breitling. What is your opinion on this topic?
