What is an Omega Boutique?

[DaveInLA]

There's one in Beverly Hills, the only one in the US, I think. I don't go to that part of LA too often, and certainly not to Rodeo Drive, which is where the Boutique is, because it's WAY too swanky and posh for my tastes. Other than selling Omega watches and maybe some accessories (probably at full MSRP!), what's in there?

I assume the Omega jewelry line could be seen/purchased there.

I think my wife might like these earrings, so maybe next time I am in BH I will see if I am correct:

Although I haven't actually been to the Omega Boutique, I have spoken to a salesman at the one in Beverly Hills. At the time I was searching for a specific ladies watch (a gold seamaster professional, which it seems does not exist).

What I was told is that the boutiques are actually operated by Omega as a showcase for Omega watches. I was told that they try to keep every current production model in stock all the time. They also have a good supply of out of production models as well.

This is in contrast to a AD which stocks what they think they can sell.

I figured as much, but ADs can special order pretty much any special model you ask for and still give you a decent discount.

You also get an Omega catalog free from the Boutique, located on Rodeo Drive. :-)

You should go to Rodeo Drive at least once in your life-- if it's not your kind of place. :-)

Cheers.

The one in Omotesando, Tokyo is small but has a good selection of Omegas, including the special collections, over two floors. They also carry spares including a full line of straps. I bought my deployant and a croc strap there. They also offer servicing - but in my particular case, this meant they had to send the watch to Bienne. The cost was the same as if I had personally sent it.

A bit upmarket ( but in tune with the area ... ) and obviously no discounts but the staff were all friendly and helpful.

Seriously the best place to go and try on a great range of Omega watches - though they do not always have everything in stock. The staff in the one in Bond Street, London have always been polite and helpful, but as no discounts available I have not purchased from there. Definitely worth a visit!

Deffo worth a visit for getting a feel for the watches on your wrist and if u want a discount. buy from somewhere else.
