It is not just their website that falls short. I went into the local authorized dealer the other night while waiting for the wife to do some clothes shopping. They had the moonwatch on display so I decided to play shopper. Asked a few questions, sales person knew NOTHING so pulled out the Omega catalog in the big binder. I asked about the difference in several Speedmaster pros - clueless. I then pointed out the picture of one with the display back but shown on a leather strap and asked if I could order the watch with a display back but on a bracelet. She seemed pretty sure that I could NOT because it was not pictured that way. The next day I returned to the same store (more clothes shopping!) and another salesman was able to figure out that there were 2 different movement calibres involved but could not tell what the difference was.
