Post on the Omega Forum, then Duck!!


Very interesting photo and message!!

Based on some recent Heuer-bashing on the two major Omega discussion forums, I would expect that if you post this same photo and ask this same question, you will start a string of messages about how far superior the Omegas were (and are), how the Heuer are just "tool watches", how Omega timed the Olympics more often than Heuer, how the Omegas were worn on the moon, etc., etc., etc.

Post it on the TimeZone Rolex Forum, and you will get blasted from all sides and see smoke coming from your modem.

The Cortina is one of my favorites; I admire the Omegas, to this point from a distance; and these comparison shots are fantastic. THANKS!!

Jeff
