I bought my Speedy (w boxes/papers) from an AD in DC for about 35% off list a few years ago. I doubt you'll get that much off in Canada though, and since then Omega has started really cutting their AD network and going boutique. These days I would buy a used one off of a reputable poster on watchuseek.com or via watchrecon.com (watch search aggregator).
I actually bought mine for a bigger birthday too (although 3-0). Nobody else was going to, so what the hell. It was one of the best purchases of my life…I love this thing. If I don't buy another watch for the rest of my life, I'll be ok with that.
