Best place to buy Omega watches?

time zone or watchuseek

you can get the forum ad contact and get a deal.

what model you want?

For Omega Continental Jewelers 1010 Connecticut Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20036 Jim Gianforte - owner/manager 202 833-3366 800 853-5588

I don't really understand why one would want to shell out in excess of $1k on a watch and not have it be an automatic. Especially, when you are looking at one of history's most famous makes of automatic watches.

To each his own, I guess.

There are many reasons for one not to want an automatic. Accuracy and convenience are the most common but not the only ones. Specter, I would NEVER buy a watch online unless I have prior dealt/met with the seller in person.

I'd like to second this recommendation. These guys were highly recommended to me on the watch forums and I had a very pleasant transaction.

Hey all long time lurker, but felt compelled to sign up after seeing this thread. Continental Jewelers is now closed. That building it was in is currently a hole in the ground. Recently found this out when I tried to find it and could not for the life of me search it out. On a side note if you look at the Google street view for that address the signs in the windows say Store Closing.

Damn, that sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anybody know what happened?

I think Jim is still in business, and I'll second the recommendation. Try the phone number. The street address is 1001 Connecticut Ave., not 1010 if that changes things.

Try the website:

try watchnet.com...........lots of deals on there.

+1 for this gentleman!

Agreed. I purchased from him before and highly recco.

I've bought four Omegas from Jim at Continental Jewelers and will soon buy a fifth. I can't recommend him highly enough as he is an authorized dealer and has the best prices and great service.
