New owner...did i get a deal?

Just bought my first tudor. Spoke with several ADs in the area and found one that would match any grey market price if I paid cash. Found the cheapest one on jomashop. I think thats a steal...but as quickly as it happened and this being my first tudor...i guess i'm trying to make sure that it really is a deal? Oh well too late now but i love the watch. Complete with big box and manufacturers warrantee card. Also comes with the blue, orange and white strap as well as the steel bracelet. I was thinking the strap was sold seperately...bonus :) Watch number six in less than a month umm...being a newb to this watch thing....when does the urge to buy lessen or wear off?

I thought Jomas offered their own warranty instead of Rolex/Tudor.

Got it. I believe you got a good deal if they matched Jomas.

Well you'l buy less watches when you go up in brands, after Tudor comes Rolex, after you have tons, after you have AP, Patek, RM and the skies' the limit, since you got 6 in one month think what great watch you could have gotten for the price of these 6, at one point you will want better quality/more expensive watches, works like this for all of us, you'll get there. Congrats for the Tudor

Depends how much you paid. Assuming it's the THC Blue?
