Omega only has the Snoopy Silver Award moon watch that trades higher than Msrp every other model besides the Snoopy trades way below Msrp which makes the dealers at Omega create a lot of shenanigans!!!! Far worse than Rolex!!!! Example the John Mayer Daytona, you know the one with the green dial DISCONTINUED!!!!!! By ROLEX to stop dealers SHENANIGANS!!!!! OMEGA fuels the SHENANIGANS!!!!! With their so called limited edition, limited production watches!!!! ROLEX PURE CLASS OMEGA PURE CRAP not the OMEGA watches but the disgusting behavior of their employees!!!!! A lot of people complain about Rolex do people really think they are going to get a stainless steel Daytona like the Panda that trades for twice Msrp or other models that trade at $5,000 USD or more above Msrp like the PEPSI or Sky Dwellers with no purchase history whatsoever!!! I asked my authorized dealer which Rolex models are possible to get Datejust easier to get Sky Dweller more difficult to get and so on and so forth I picked a few models and got placed on a customer interest in x,y, and z models shortly after a couple months later I got a Datejust 41 two tone fluted bezel jubilee bracelet Wimbeldon dial!!!! Am I getting a Panda Daytona NO I don’t expect that for at least 10 years of purchase history buying at least one luxury watch per year and some jewelry, not my authorized dealer words, my gut feeling my own intuition my Rolex authorized dealers are not pushing me or requiring me to buy anything that is just my gut feeling why would they sell me a watch for $15,000 msrp and as soon as I walk out the front door the watch is worth $30,000 USD!!!!! Another thing about Omega they don’t allow their authorized dealers to give customers discount but they also don’t allow them to sell the Snoopy Silver Award watches that watch is for boutiques only!!!! Why would anyone buy an Omega watch at full Msrp when they are trading way below!!!! I really want to be an Omega collector also but they are making it extremely difficult!!!!!😅😅😅😅😅

"Cash is King!" The mindless cry of the poor. Person A saves up £5k and buys a watch with it. Person B has £5k but isn't an idiot, so he sticks the money in a savings account and buys the watch on finance. The watch costs each person £5k, but after 4 years person B has more money than person A because they were smarter with their money. However.... If you can't afford to buy the watch outright OR put the equivalent amount in a savings account then I agree that you shouldn't be buying a watch 👍

2 year wait list for a mass produced watch

Shall never forget my experience when I’ve entered a Rolex boutique. The staff looked at me like I was a microbe. Meanwhile people from Omega boutique only had to put a red carpet on a floor when I’ve entered it, I swear. “Try whatever watch you love, sir”, “would you like to drink anything?” “What do you do for living?” As a bachelor student who tried to not get robbed, I obviously didn’t plan to buy any Omega watch that day. And they knew it. But one day, it could be lovely to wear Aqua Terra on a wrist.

Hands down one of the funniest things I've seen this year so far!

Rolex: We don’t even have waitlist, it’s called wishlist now. Omega: Would you like 15% off plus no tax?

This is so true. At the Bal Harbour Boutique Miami I got the door opened ( 2 inches crack) where the sales rep peaked his mouth through it while chewing chicken Brest (I smelled it yes) and told me “I’m on my lunch and second no watches for sale” and closed the door on my face. Mind you I own several Rolex and other top watches but one thing for sure is that I won own another Rolex ever again. Even if it’s offered to me for free.

The Rolex is almost exactly as it shown, just except of slapping they are passively politely aggressive in demeaning way - like you are child in car dealership... where they like "sure look at it... whroom wroom... one day you may be able to buy it when you grow-up". They make you feel worthless for being interested in their damn watches. And Omega is exactly like that as well, you come in, choose the watch and buy it... simple as that. If they don't have brand new one in stock in the store, then they get it shipped to you directly from another store or indeed Switzerland next day for free.
