Omega's New Website

Is it just me, or did Omega's website go from bad to worse? I know the old website had some outdated model numbers and incorrect pictures shown with certain models, but this new website is abominable.

I click on Seamaster 300M Chronometer, and I get a CHRONOGRAPH on a rubber strap. I try to change to steel bracelet, and the SAME WATCH comes up. The old model 2054.50 is still on there with the Bond bracelet, and the only way I can figure out to find the 2254.50 is to use the watchfinder and type in that model number.

My problem is, what if I don't know a model number? I don't have all day to keep messing around, clicking on options but not seeing all of them. At least the old website had all appropriate watches grouped together so you could look at the same watch on a bracelet, leather strap, etc. With this site????

Sorry to complain, but the more I visit this website the more frustrated I become. For such a high end watch company, they could do a much better job displaying their products.
