Best route is to buy a pre-owned watch purchased originally from an AD that still carries the warranty ---

> [@MrSmith](#): > > Problem is if its not an authorized dealer = no factory warranty. Online retailers will give you their “store” warranty which means a whole lot of nothing. Ive read some horror stories since Ive been doing research. [amazon.com](http://amazon.com) for example killer prices but you better hope nothing goes wrong with it. When i walked into Reeds i was barely through the doors and i was already getting hit with oh these are 15% off retail before I even opened my mouth. Thats only 500 away from what ive seen online. Im sure that I could get darn close to online prices especially in this economy if i was buying something they had sitting there for a while. Problem is I dont want to pay tax. > I am just starting to get into watches and I want new for a first purchase. The co axial comes with a 3 year warranty from Omega and does not need to serviced for 10 years. Price is right around what i’d be willing to spend. I think the trick is going to be to buy from a reputable out of state AD where i can have the full warranty get a decent discount off retail and not pay tax. But i want to see it in person first. I guess im going to jared’s to see if they have it. :tup: I know a very good Omega AD out of state if you are interested. ---

This is a fringe benefit of a bear market. Collectibles are almost all suffering at the moment. It’s def a buyers market for collectibles like watches for example. Funny how when the news tells everyone they are broke they stop spending and try to pawn $hit cheaply. ---

well even if you dont get the warranty with it, my dad and i have a watch and clock repair business. he is factory rolex trained (not certified because rolex doesnt certify) and 35 years experience working on watches. so if anyone has any watch repair needs, just let me know and i can hook you up. ---

You can find some great deals on Movados that are a couple of years old. I bought mine in St. Maarten for less than half of the retail price, it was a 2 year old model that they wanted to dump off. ---
