Omega de Ville

More DeVille info needed!
I posted a thread the other day about an Omega DeVille. Thanks to the Team for providing me much -needed information. I still have one question, however. Unlike the DeVille shown on the official Omega website (detachable leather band), my watch is an integralbraided gold bracelet and florentined gold case all made into one piece. The clasp has the Omega logo and also some hallmarks and what appears to be "55%" just below them. I thought this might indicate some carat of gold, but the stainless case back states "20 micron gold plating". What I would like to know isare these integral watches any more collectible than the plain leather banded ones? Were lots of them made, or were they special order? Thanks in advance! Jack

Omega pricing discounts
Anybody know of a real hungry Omega AD? I have seen Omegas on gray market sites at up to 30% off (no warranty or card) and located one AD that typically goes to 25%, but would like to find an AD that will go 35%.I have done a lot of business with my local watch dealer and he usually allows me 35-40% off most brands they carry. They carry many of the major brands, except Rolex (Breitling, IWC, TAG, Jaeger, Ulusse-Nardin, Breguet, Blanpain, Glasutte, Cartier - to list a few). I can usually count on 38% off list and the warranty, but they no longer carry Omega. Omega dropped many dealers last year. They can get me one from another dealer, but the dealer won't give it to them at cost, so my discount isn't a good as it would normally be.
