The warranty is worldwide, you'll have no problems as long as you buy from an Omega dealer.
I lust after this watch. Orange bezel and steel bracelet for me. Unfortunately I can't justify the upgrade from my Seamaster Professional at the moment.
As for bringing it back, with electronics I normally bin the manuals and box but you won't want to do that with the box the watch comes in.

A good mate of mine had a matching pair of his and hers Rolex President watche is in solid Gold (very bling) he had purchased many watches from Watches of Switzerland and was on very good terms with his salesman
On returning from a vacation in Florida he and his wife got pulled and questioned about the watches and how new there were , he told them where he bhad brought them , they took all his details and gave him a very hard time .
The next morning he called WOS to ask their opinion of what to expect from the HMC boys , to be told that they ad already been called by HMC to confirm his story ,, they are right bastads so make sure you get your back up plan B story right

Post the box back with all the gubbins and mark it gifts, wear the watch. Not entirely sure what customs do if they choose to open it, it is afterall an empty box of little value, but it is pretty obvious what you have done.
great idea. will do
Better still post it to a friend, just in case Mr Jobsworth, Customs officer gets more than curious.......
I've had a Seamaster since 1984, (bought abroad - worn home) wear it day & night and it's been very relaible - I had one problem about 5 yrs ago with the date sticking on 10, due to corrosion from a leaky seal but that's been fixed and other than a few new pins/screws in the strap & occasional servicing it's been great.
BTW, nice watch

Ok next question, how often do you get them serviced. i heard they say every 3-5 years. is that worth it and does it need to be done that often

i really love my omega. it has never let me down and i now feel confident enough to descend to 1000ft below sea level should the need ever arise.
Mine works pretty well at altitude too..
Tend to wear this one all of the time now, (unless out to a posh do) as its simply more robust than a couple of others I've got. Doesn't look too bling and keeps time accurately enough for me, (i.e plus or minus a bit - I'm never in a dreadful hurry..)
The 007 special editions are worth more, and may well keep their value better, but I've an ordinary automatic which tells the time, which is what I want it to do..
I have had my Seamaster GMT for a little while now. It looks as good as the day it left the factory and keeps time better than I had thought. It tends to gain around 30 seconds per month. I'm not sure if this is classed as good or not, but it amazes me given it's a mechanical device suceptible to forces, shocks etc as it's worn.
Lovely piece and good value for money compared with a lot of other premium brands, IMHO.

Before you buy in the states, try and get a price from these guys. I got a very good deal on my Omega. A better price than even in the States or the Middle East.

Don't worry about the customs, just hide the receipt well and I'd bin the box. I've never been stopped by them and buy stuff abroad all the time.
All mail packets will be opened by them, just label it as a gift as someoen has already stated.
