I agree with you that there is a difference in finish/design of the case/dial, but are you sure that Omega does more finishing work on the movement itself? Have you actually checked it and compared it yourself? I am not questioning what you are saying,so please don't take offense as I don't intend any, I just wonder how you know this is all. Sounds like you also like the DeVille, which I do as well and my original post was mainly intended to find out why it seemed to be an unpopular and little discussed dress watch when to me it seemed to have a lot of advantages. What you are saying makes sense to me, I just wonder how you know Omega puts a higher level of finish on the movement is all. Thanks in advance for your help.
