For the answer to the NUMBER #1 most frequently asked question here--for details or value of a specific older Omega watch you have--go to: Tell Me About My Omega. | Learn more about How To Include Photos and HTML In Your Postings. | To contact someone with a question not relevant to other readers of the forum, please click on their email address and contact them privately. |
On the other hand, with reference to newer production we seem to get a fairly large number of people annoyed either with the product or with the service or both.
Let's just also think about Chuck's own perplexities and recall to mind at least the following:
1. The date issue of the older automatic triple calendar Speedmaster automatic.
2. The brushed finish of the titanium Seamaster 300 (last-but-one version), so delicate in what should have been the toughest of watches.
3. The vicissitudes of the first version of the coaxial chronograph movement.
All of these on top of a strategy of pushing up prices also for models where no major improvements have been carried out...
Don't get me wrong, I am not bashing Omega, I love their late '60's to mid-80's stuff and the Moonwatch is a work of art, the watch if one should have to have one watch only. Still I cannot blame people who spend thousands of bucks or euros and end up dissatisfied a few months later.
Cheers.
