Nothing wrong with buying from a jeweler either. Just want to throw that out there. I try to buy every 4th/5th watch from a local jeweler just to keep it local if nothing else. And they will work with you on pricing as well. The biggest + to buying from a local jeweler is they will usually service the watch for free, and you can build a rapport with them so when you have another watch that needs servicing, you have a trusted place to take it to.

Online/watch forum prices on Omega is pretty good. They are usually grey market watches or someone who bought it and is looking to unload their purchase. That's why if you're looking for a deal, you never need to pay MSRP on one. You do get the in-store service and a direct manufacturer's warranty card with your name on it with buying locally. It's really up to the buyer if that is worth a few thousand dollars more than the online price.

Some other watches such as certain Rolex models have less difference between online and in-store prices.
