Re: Omega/Rolex wars?

In Response To: Re: Omega/Rolex wars? *LINK* ()

Had a recent experience visiting an Atlanta jewelry store. When I asked if they carried Omega, the salesperson responded by saying "No" they didn't, but that they carried Rolex. When I stated I was looking for an Omega dealer, they stated they didn't know where one was. Their tone was that same Rolex snobbery that the previous writer described. Interestingly enough, less then 500 meters down the road were three Omega dealers in one mall. I recommend the Tourneau shop, if you've never been to one. The largest collection of Omegas and other great Swiss watches I've ever seen. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. My SMP is two years old and I like it more today then when my wife bought it for me. Problem is that I have a tough time finding any other watches with the same quality case, bracelet, clasp, crystal, etc.
