In Response To: Re: Marcello c Nettuno 3 ()

Thank you for clearing up a lot of things for me.
Sorry if I mistook your wording into a different meaning.

Yes I do agree Marcello C look a lot like Rolex but if you know there are others out there that have the same qualities and with cheaper brands than marcello c, then can you can please list some here?

I think when choosing a watch we look at different things but I have a hunch we look at them somewhat the same in general. As we know most women watches are quartz even omega women most of them are in quartz. Reason for that is because most watch manufacturers know women don't care about the movments wether they are automatic or quatz, they only want something that looks good and something expensive and ofcourse the famous brands.

When it comes down to man we choose watch more than just the look and price. Ofcourse looks does matter but it is definitly not the foremost important factor.

You keep saying movment doesn't matter. But the thing about watch is all about movment and then the look and then probably the quality of the materials used and funtionality of it.

So why did we and all of us here choose omega?
Because omega is just a brand? I don't believe so. We like our watch to have chronometer why? Because we want our watch to be as accurate as possible. If omega are off 10 seconds a day I don't beleive most of us here will purchase an omega no matter how it looked. It is the right combination between price/branding/value/ that makes us choose whatever it is on your wrist.

To say the movment doesn't matter then omega will never have to tell us or even list what kind of movement it is used because it doesn't matter no?
