How do you discern a "gray market" watch?
Grey market is a dealer based watch that isn't sold by the dealer. Sometimes the dealer will sell a bunch to an online source (they aren't supposed to do that and can have their dealer line pulled). The online seller will sell to us. The warranty could possibly be denied by the watch company. Or the dealer could mark the warranty accordingly and the warranty is actually good to go. You'll have to ask the seller if it's gray market or AD
Some gray market watches come with serial numbers scrubbed from the watch. Those will NEVER be able to be serviced by the watch company. They just refuse it.
If a seller can prove it was purchased from an AD it doesn't matter at all where the AD is located.

Thanks for the info Broke.
From what I am seeing, a new gray market watch (jomashop for example) is priced about the same as a 2 year old mint used watch from an AD.
How big of a deal is the lack of factory warranty? Keep in mind with regards to Omega, their website states there are no AD's in Louisiana anyway. So unless I wanted to ship it for service I'll be dealing with a local repair shop anyway.
