Re: Seamaster Aquaterra Purchase
In Response To: Seamaster Aquaterra Purchase ()

: Hi folks, a new member of the forum here
: looking for a bit of advice.

: I've been saving for a while for an Aqua Terra
: 2502.30. I'm UK based and the list price
: here is 1575 pounds. However I'm travelling
: to Toledo Ohio next week and was wondering
: if I could take advantage of the favourable
: exchange rate :-) So I had a colleague over
: there contact Jared the Galleria of Jewelry
: who say their list price is 2448 US dollars,
: which is a saving of about 300 pounds. They
: would have to order the watch in for me
: which is not a problem as my colleague will
: be visiting the UK in a couple of months and
: could bring it over. My question for you
: guys is can I expect to negotiate a discount
: with the dealer for a watch he's ordering
: in? If so how much? Would I have any issues
: with warranty by buying a watch in the US
: and exporting it to the UK? Looking forward
: to being a member of the community!

Check your e-mail for a referral to the forum's favorite AD. He'll offer you a much better price with no haggling. Once you agree on a price and then have Jared order it for you, you probably won't have any luck "re-negotiating" the price.

As for the warranty, all Omega warranties are International Warranties, so they are valid anywhere in the world. You can buy a watch in Toledo and have it serviced in London. Since the Aqua Terra is co-axial, you will get a full 3-year factory warranty on the watch.

Best of luck,
John
