my personal thoughts

In Response To: Re: Co-Axial Service Intervals: CONTINUED CONFUSIO ()

Omega is basing its facts on marketing hype and test mad ein laboratories. Test made in laboratories aren't real wear and aren't enough significant to be judged as something real.Omega perhaps badly concepted the movement, something which never happened when it was a 100% manufacture. Subcontracting movements is not the same thing than manufacturing them. Manufactures make far better movements than subcontactors two exceptions however with Piguet and Lemania. Some people at Omega belived the 33xx to be flawless when it was and is full of problems. Marketing hype again.
Paying over $2000 for a watch that will have to be serviced in less than years in my opinion isn't the greatest investment, I would rather go and buy a watch with a movement that has been proven as reliable and that don't need too much tlc. Omega is a marketing brand now and nothing of what it was before.
