I was sure about one thing
In Response To: Is it just me or is NJ picking up where Lancaster… ()

Hi Everyone

When a bad story rehappens (after Lancaster now New Jersey)you have to ask yourself if Omega USA has only uncompetent n00bs working for them. I can't say that Omega France is good too. I was pretty sure that New Jersey would be the second Lancaster. It also makes you think twice before giving your watch to restore or service to a big company. If Omega New Jersey watchmakers can't service a basic modified eta 2892-a2 or an eta 7750 there is no reason to trust them. I would rather go with an independant with many experience, less troubles and at least I am sure of the result. You can also have bad surprise with Bienne and the way Bienne restored some watches makes you think twice. Luminova dial and hands on a vintage tells you a lot about these so called restorations. Restoration means putting the hands and the dial into their initial state and not changing them.

just my opinion (to take with two grains of salt)

regards
