Omega

Apparently, Omega is following Rolex in their sales model. My local jewelry store, which picked up Omega when Rolex dropped retailers, is clearing out their used and new Omega watches because Omega dropped them. My son got a great deal on a used one and I picked up a new Speedmaster dirty cheap. Might be deals from other retailers in the same boat. Good hunting!

this sounds more like your AD being an issue and not Omega or Rolex

They are both embracing a direct sales model. Rolex did that quite some time ago.

Makes sense...trying to build up the image of scarcity so they're not discounting to move pieces.

Personally never really cared for Omega. Nice watches...just doesn't have the iconic and instantly recognizable look say a Rolex Datejust or President has.

I am very happy with the iconic appearance of my analog/ digital Omega Seamaster “Albatros” model which was the official timepiece and a copy of the scoreboard from the 1976 Montreal Olympics! 👍🏻

Thanks, I was at those Olympic games, and when I returned to New York and discovered that Omega was selling the watch, I immediately purchased one. 👍🏻
