Chrono24 and jomashop are reputable, just check who you're buying from. Not sure about Prestige

Those are good
I recently used a site called Bezel

You can actually bid on watches

Teddy Baldassarre’s website is great, price-wise and offerings. They carry Omega

I don't suggest going to Jomashop for a high end watch. You often end up forfeiting your manufacturer warranty for their warranty which is inferior in every possible measurement.

I've probably watched about 100 of Tim Mosso's watch reviews from the thewatchbox.com and would consider his site just because of his knowledge of every single watch.

I was a horologist in college. Now I just like watches.

I had the one that had a crude "game" where you had to cycle through 0-9 as numbers marched across the face and hit the "enter" key to erase that number and reduce the march.

If the numbers filled the display all the way you lost.

Sort of like an early version of Tetris.

We had one round going so well that after recess we had to take a math test and my buddy and I would hand it back and forth under the desk to keep our streak alive and give the other person a chance to answer a couple math questions.

Not sure how we didn't get busted.

I got my Pelagos from DavidSW.com. Ordered on a Saturday morning and it was on my wrist on Monday.

Toppers Jewelers in Burlingame CA. They’re an authorized Omega boutique and are well known as one of the best dealers when it comes to Omega and pricing. You should be able to get at least 15% off retail easily, and might even be able to push for 20%. If you’re not in California there’s no tax, and they’ll ship it free to your doorstep in about 2 days.

ETA I linked the Sapphire Sandwich, the Hesalite version is $1000 cheaper.
