In Response To: Re: SS Bezel on 300M Chrono? ()

Reading your description have you looked at a Rolex Submariner? I have had 2 Omega's (Bond Watch Seamaster and a 2298.80 Titanium Chronograph) (Sold Now)and have had so many problems they spent more time at Omega then on my wrist. Best decision I ever made was to go to Rolex. They have not earned there reputation for nothing. And you just get a different felling, I can’t explain when the Rolex is on your wrist. Over-priced yes happy with paying too much – yes. No problems and the finish and precision of all items lining up perfect is there. As just about any dealer who formally sold Omega that is quite a few will informed you of their terrible customer service, parts availability and they just don’t care about you. If you can afford one go take a look before you waist you money on a Swatch owned company. Sorry to bash Omega on this forum but I am only telling the truth about my experience. One more point the Northeast authorized Omega service center The Watch Maker in Stoneham Massachusetts stopped selling Omega and just repairs them now. Reason Omega as ruining their reputation which is outstanding without Omega as part of their watch sales. By the way Rolex + ¼ second per day. Does not matter what position I put it down in for the evening. And take a look at the resale value should you ever decide to sell the watch. Good Luck.
