: I think that you could ideally customize a
: watch, as long as the customization is done
: by Omega in-house and the customization is
: only cosmetic, IMHO. Omega already produces
: high-quality mechanics; why mess with that
: aspect? I compare it to customizing your car
: at the dealership or before it leaves the
: factory, to ensure the quality and its
: workmanship. You can install the greatest
: interior and luxury electronics (stereo and
: non-essential gadgetry) and still have a
: great working vehicle that maintains the
: factory standards. But the minute you mess
: with the engine, you open yourself up to
: potential problems. For example, I purchased
: aftermarket rims and tires for my truck and
: it never drove the same. It looked great,
: but the drive was definitely different. I
: re-installed the factory tires and rims and
: the drive was much improved. Just my two
: cents....

Well your idea of customization certainly appeals more to me than KVS's:-))because its based on more reasonable changes--Thanks for your input.
