Why would someone own a Omega vs a Rolex? I'm in the market for a new Rolex but Omega caught my eye

No it will not. Bought my seamaster from this website and contacted omega about it and they said this website is not a authorized dealer even tho I've seen some ppl getting their cards signed. My card did not come signed.

Don't listen to this user, aafes is an authorized dealer.

We thinking it could be an extra 5% off on Black Friday?

Depends what you like, I like omegas and the ability to actually own one more while others enjoy the scarcity/name of a rolex.

Do these watches appreciate in value like Rolex?

Nope, far from it. It decreases in value

AAFES is confirmed to be an official Omega AD and "shopmyexchange" is their official website... some people did say that their cards were not stamped though. So if yours are unstamped, contact Customer Service and get new cards issued.

That isn't true. I bought an omega from them. and it shipped to me directly from SGUS in Secaucus, NJ...no way the watch ships direct from the manufacturer for a dealer who is not authorized.

I own a Vaheron Constantin, but it was a gift to my dad and now it's mine. I wore it delivering his eulogy, and I will wear it for other special occasions. I will either hand it down to one of my nephews or my grandson if I have one someday. It's not the Pulp Fiction watch, but it's pretty special to our family.

As others have said, it's better to think of these watches as functional jewelry. Maybe not all of them will turn into family heirlooms, but some will. No one will ever care about my Casio daily driver nor will they want to wear it for the most important life events where the most important family memories are made.

Been interested in creating a "family heirloom". . Life comes at you fast and very few things create a lasting memory but I would love to get a watch that can be passed down the generations (assuming people will continue to want to wear regular watches in the future I guess!). Hard to decide what to get though. I wouldn't want it to be something that will be a huge target for theft for instance so something like an Omega might be right up my alley. Anyone have any recommendations/pointers?

Anyone ordered an omega from them before can confirm if they come with full boxes?

I've not ordered an Omega from them. There was a time when there was a shortage of boxes. Omega was sending the watches in a factory bag then sending the boxes at a later date. This was a temporary thing and I believe it occurred with only the previous model Speedmaster and only for a short time.

I've been wanting a Speedmaster for a while, but I'm not familiar with the pricing. In 2022, what would be considered a genuinely "hot" price for one (i.e., I should jump on it immediately)?

Some people are able to get 20% from their AD on a regular basis. I have never gotten any discounts from ADs I have dealt with. An added benefit is these are tax-free. If you can hold out, in years past on 11/25 the watches have gone 25% off.

Did it come with Omega 5 year warranty + the stamped cards? or is the 5 year warranty under ShopMyExchange?

They aren't the best about providing signed warranty cards. You can reach out to the manufacturer and they will send you the proper documentation. This goes for most of the brands they sell.

Some brands accept the original sales receipt from AAFES. Some require you to have a signed card. The manufacturer can get you what you need.
