Re: Omega Seamaster 300M or Coaxial GMT / Dealers?
In Response To: Re: Omega Seamaster 300M or Coaxial GMT / Dealers? ()

: First of all, check your e-mail for an
: authorized dealer referral. I think you'll
: be extremely pleased with the discount.

: The retail price difference is actually $1400.
: For that you get the GMT function, a
: sapphire display back, nicer applied hour
: markers, and the co-axial movement. All of
: these features add cost to the watch.

: I own three Omegas, and the one with the
: co-axial movement keeps the best time BY
: FAR. In fact, it keeps better time than my
: Swatch quartz watch. So, I am biased toward
: the co-axial movement and feel it is worth
: the money. All current Omega co-axial models
: come with a 3-year warranty (instead of the
: standard 2) and the co-axial movement
: requires less frequent servicing (every 10
: years rather than every 5). It is designed
: for better long term accuracy than the 1120
: movements in the SMP 300M watches.

Please forward me e-mail of dealer you recommend.
Thanks for your help.
