Wrist Shot Friday!

I’ve bought my omegas in the states but a buddy bought one form Calgary jewelry last year and was able to get them to move on price a lot. He came down from Edmonton to go to CJ because they had the best price.

I bought two Omegas from Continental Jewellers in Washington DC. This was about a decade ago though. But it was awesome. At the time the Canadian dollar was strong and the US/CDN pricing was such that you could take advantage. In addition with the discount they gave me, I was barely $4k Canadian for the two watches. Granted, one is a less popular model. But one is a Planet Ocean.

A little while later I think I remember reading that they got in trouble from Omega for their heavier discounting. They were the recommended dealer on timezone.com which is how I came to know about them.

the good old days when Jim from Continental would give you 30% off desirable models and 40% off ones that were not very popular. Unfortunately, Omega caught onto what he was doing and pulled the line from him.

Haha - yes indeed. And thanks for confirming - I thought I remember hearing that, but my memory is terrible.

Speaking of my Planet Ocean - has anyone sent a watch to Omega service recently? I need to send mine, but I am hearing other people say don't bother right now as everything is backed up.

Also have one I need to send one to Panerai - I would imagine similar situation.
