Re: Co-axial technology, a bad coice after all!

: I bought a brand new Constellation double eagle
: chronograph. The watch stopped after a
: couple of days and was serviced by the
: agent. A couple of days later the watch
: stopped again. The watch was then sent back
: to switzerland for repair. The watch is with
: them for almost three months with no
: resolution as to this point. I am frustrated
: because I spent a hefty amount on what
: supposed to be the best of OMEGA watches and
: yet have to go through this bad experience.
: so next time if you are planninmg to go for
: that dont think twice, but trice since you
: might go through the same experience. For
: the records, I bought the watch 6 months
: ago, stayed with me for three weeks only and
: the rest it was with the agent and the
: service center in switzerland. Does any one
: have an idea how to pressure the Company to
: reimbuse me for the price of the watch.

Omega's are really not that durable. I'm still an owner of the 2531.80 Seamaster, because for me they look nice. But durability wise, they're no good. They are not worth the money you pay for. Given a second chance I should've just purchaesd one of those quartz watches Tag Heuer or Tissot or if I had the extra money should've purchased the ral thing ROLEX!

An Omega a watch of this price needs to give accurate time for a minimum of 10 years without servicing for an automatic. Mine broke down after two and a half years just when the warranty expired. Had to pay heaps to have it repaired. Really dissapointed!!!
