In Response To: Interesting thaughts Joey ()

: Hi Joey

: Interesting thaughts here. Omega launched some
: new models too quickly and hasn't been
: probably taken enough in consideration the
: persistance of the 33xx unlike Rolex who
: solved the 4130 problems from a definitive
: manner. Frederic Piguet is manufacturing
: movements and modifying them for Omega so
: you can't say that Omega is a manufacture
: because now it is just an assembleur. An
: assembleur cases a movement that was
: modified for him put the hands and the dial
: but the movement is not made by him and not
: even modified by him.A manufacture in the
: true sense of the meaning is a firm able to
: control all the process from designing a
: watch, its movements, its dial and all its
: other details without having recourse to a
: subcontractor like Rolex, Philippe
: Dufour,Speake Marin,Seiko,Zenith,Lange &
: S�hne,Glassh�tte Original,Union Glassh�tte,
: Jaeger Le Coultre,Frederique Constant,Patek
: (despite some of its handwound movements are
: from Piguet and JLC),Dornbl�eth, Richard
: Mille, Vianney Halter, Antoine Preciuszo
: (design watches made to order) and Fran�ois
: Paul Journe who are all true manufactures.
: About HP like my pc tech says, you can't repair
: their pc if you don't go buy them and very
: component has to be baught by them even if
: it is not a high quality component. However
: I do have a hp printer from year 1999 that
: works very well and was always well cared.
: My first PC was a nec pentium II 350,I never
: had a problem with it, then I switched for a
: custom made one and was more happy.
