 Omega Men's GMT Seamaster Watch #2234.50.00 By: Omega Average Rating: 4.0 Total Reviews: 3 More Information Beautiful Watch, excellent Amazon service  On: 2008-07-08I have wanted this Omega 2234.50 black dial GMT watch for several years but thought I would have to get one at a local jewelry store to make sure it was a genuine Omega and not something less. I checked Amazon and to my surprise they had the exact watch model I wanted and at the best price I have seen anywhere. I entered the order, got an acknowledgement by email, and three business days later, had the beautiful and rugged watch ticking on my wrist, and I used standard UPS ground shipping. This is the most painless large dollar purchase I have ever experienced via the Internet. I would never have bought this watch on the Net anywhere other than Amazon because they have earned my trust over many transactions. I was surprised to not have an Omega warranty card to return but this is the first watch I ever bought from Amazon and I guess the way it works is that Amazon provides the warranty rather than Omega. If I bought it from an authorized Omega distributor then I would have had an Omega warranty and paid full price or close to it. Pros: Excellent price on this getting-hard-to-find model. Great price. Very fast order handling and delivery. No hassles. Amazon 30 day return and 2 year warranty. Cons: Amazon could have packed it a little smarter. The Omega box was slightly split from UPS pounding. They padded it on the top and four sides but not on the bottom and that was the problem. I tend to keep my watch boxes for decades and I was disappointed to see the very slight box damage. Simple and classy On: 2006-12-31I bought this as a work watch, it isnt too flashy but it is built well and people who know about watches know what it is and that it is a piece of quality. It keeps time well and the reserve on the power is excellent, add that together with the value on here and you really cant go wrong. Beware Ordering This Item  On: 2006-03-23The watch I am sure is fantastic; however, I ordered it and selected next day shipping. The next day after I saw it had not yet processed, I was told I needed to submit the order once more--some sort of technical glitch on their end. I did as instructed and the next day I saw it had not been processed! After many phonecals, I was told the item was not available from amazon.com. The number listed as being available has not changed from the website since that time. Ultimately, I did purchase the white-bezel version of this watch (2538.20) and absolutely love it! You are getting a quality watch at a good price (with serial numbers intact), but the process in actually getting product is difficult--I had to call twice on my second order after it sat for two days!! Overall, I would buy again from amazon.com, but it requires an assertive purchaser to make it work.
