Re: Feedback Requested for Online Petition to Omeg

: I will sign this, just direct me where to go.

As soon as my AD looks it over and I have received enough feedback, I'm going to post the link to the petition here on this forum.

: And again, another thought...
: If Omega is worried about other brands (someone
: stated somewhere that they bought a part of
: another upscale watch company) why not
: request the dealer carry some of those
: watches that the Swatch Group now own part
: of instead of just saying to ADs you are no
: longer good enough?

I know that in my post I mentioned that Swatch Group bought a share in Tourneau, which isn't a brand but an upscale jewelry store chain throughout the US. They carry Omega and every other brand under the sun, so my feeling was that Omega is trying to eliminate the competition to Tourneau since they can make a profit both ways (first by selling the watch to Tourneau, and then getting a share of Tourneau's profits on the marked-up prices). Those folks at Swatch Group are slick, aren't they?
