Re: So Omega is....

In Response To: So Omega is.... ()

: Not very customer service oriented, surprising.

I think you'll find that most product manufacturers (outside of computer makers) stay away from part swapping between products. The problem is that Rolex having been very unique in allowing this in the past created an expectation that this was normal thing to do.

: Iron fisted Rolex will allow dial changes.

Actually, my local Rolex dealer says that Rolex has stopped doing this.

: My guess is Omega wants you to buy another
: watch?

Not really. I believe their greater concern is in maintaining their well-earned reputation for style and quality by not having bastardized 'frankenwatch' versions of their products floating around.
