Got to pick up my bluesy on Monda!

Well, besides the obvious BC Clarks, you have Watches Etc in Bethany. I've purchased from both with zero issues and good prices and good people.

B.C. Clark quoted me full MSRP on both a Tudor BB 58 and an Omega SMP Diver 300m, take it or leave it. I thanked them for their time and bought elsewhere for a few thousand less. I am, however, on the waiting list with them for a no-date Sub which should happen around my retirement date.

AAFES has some fairly competitive sales, but never any of the Omegas on which I'd spend any cash. Maybe a Speedmaster someday.

Maybe post the the few thousand dollars off dealers. Tudors (sit around $3k-$4k) and Omegas aren't really "thousands" of dollars, so if you got one or found one for a few thousand less, I'd like to know where that is. Full MSRP for a base Submariner Date is $9k. A Tudor Black Bay GMT is $4k MSRP. So you found a Tudor dealer selling new for like $1000-$2000?

Also, not everyone can shop at AAFES.

my Dad used to break wrist watches several times a year, the local jewelry store talked him into buying a used rolex, it never broke but the crystal broke about 4 times before he went back to watches that cost less than the replacement crystal, I prefer Tissot watches myself, especially their mechanical pocket watches

I’m genuinely curious how he managed to break the crystal. My daily use luminox has literally been flung off a 30 foot structure onto concrete, submerged in all sorts of solvents, fuel, etc, and been through a few nasty fights and more abuse than any one watch has ever deserved. It doesn’t even have a scratch on the crystal.

Not once, but four times.

I’d like to know where as well, I might be missing out on good deals

Do your own legwork. A new SMP Diver 300m with bracelet MSRP was $5200 until recently and with OKC sales tax it becomes a cool $5635.50, while a California AD was $4500 delivered, and AAFES had them for $3300 (white face only) on Thanksgiving Day. Full MSRP on a BB 58 is $3700, though with sales tax that becomes $4009.88, while other ADs sold them full kit for $3500 delivered. That sure looks like a few thousand overall, particularly when I bought both watches.

Don't care, those weren't discussed.

I can and I'm spending my money, not yours; i.e., I don't care.

Wow! What a classy response.

You are a D*ck Hole and just went to the ignore list.

Promise?

Real A**hole you are.

No wonder my folks were so disappointed.

You're FOS too.

The SMP Diver 300m I'm wearing right now says otherwise, but carry on!
