Re: america's cup chronometer(2594.50)

: next week im getting my new omega.
: is 2200 euro is a normal price?

I have the AC Chrono 2594.50 with the rubber bracelet. I have had it now for 5 mts & ABSOLUTELY love it. I have found that by adjusting the position of the watch, it stays within 1 sec/day.

I did NOT pay that price for the watch, from an AUTHORIZED & LEGAL dealer. If you are getting the metal bracelet, it will be more. Trust me, the rubber bracelet is MUCH lighter & looks GREAT with the watch....

As for scratch resistance, I have bumped it occasionally with NO effect to the crystal or case. It is larger & heavier, but you will get used to it, & over time will not notice the difference.

I wear mine constantly (except for sleeping) & I have even worn it while motorcycle riding with NO adverse effects to the watch or mechanism.
