Thanks for the interesting opinions... I prefer to buy from authorized dealers but sometimes the price difference is insane. I've seen up to 40% off MSRP on Tag Heuers and Omegas.
Of course, Tag doesn't warranty these gray market watches and sometimes these non-authorized dealers remove the serial numbers and even change the case back of the watch. A friend of mine recently brought a new Tag from the internet. They told him that they are an authorized dealer, which was BS, and the case backing of his watch was replaced with a cheap looking plastic backing with no markings. Usually it has the Tag Heuer logo, model and serial numbers engraved. I didn't have the heart to tell him.

when you get into the world of watches, you'll soon realize Omegas and Rolexes are the BMWs and Audis of the timepiece world. you can get seriously expensive.
