Thoughts on this as first purchase on my Patek journey? My AD had one in stock and said I could have it today (so I would assume it goes for under MSRP on the grey).

Sheesh that color looks great on it

I'd rock it

It's normally a little busy for me, but I actually like it in that color

I love everything about it

You can get it 10-15k under retail. I would go grey unless you are building a Patek collection but even then hard to justify unless you will have 4-5 eventually to give you access to hard to allocate pieces (the watch is stellar though!)

Make sense

It’s so pretty!

Needs a strap change immediately, a Patek with calf leather really... But otherwise looks gorgeous

I love the world times but some of them have really small hands on the dial which I don’t like

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

My in-laws used to own a jewelry store, and they had this Omega quartz watch in their storage. I can understand why this wasn’t sold during their clearance sale lol. I had no idea Omega made stuff like this in 1987! I guess they couldn’t help it after the rise of quartz watches in the 70s to 80s. I doubt they’re worth anything even to this day. I see them on eBay for $700-1200, so who knows…

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?)
