zOwie Omega Discussion Forum

: Hi

: Reminds me of an old discussion I had with
: someone on another forum.
: Seiko was always a middle of the range brand.
: And even in the 70's the grand seiko's were
: never able to match the quality of Omega
: products, never.
: Comparing Seiko with Omega is like comparing
: Nissan with Cadillac.
: The movements of seiko even the springdrive are
: averagely finished. The coaxial watches has
: an extremely well finished movement and a
: guarantee of three years.Seiko movements
: aren't cosced and the Grand Seikos are not
: sold worldwide not in Europe probably in USA
: and in Asia but in Europe people buy more
: Omega or Rolex than Seikos.
: The movement of the Aqua Terra itself is better
: than the Grand Seiko movement on nay aspect.
: The case of the Omega is better finished and
: more sober than the Seiko's case.
: The Omega bracelet is a reference in terms of
: comfort and solidity, the Grand Seiko has a
: cheap copy of the Oyster braclet and I don't
: feel secure about the clasp.
: The dial on the Omega is cleaner and more
: sober.
: The Omega is water resistant to 150m dunno
: about Seiko.
: Warranty is three years with the Omega dunno
: about Seiko.
: Precision is stunning out of the box with the
: Omega not the case with the Seiko.
: Conclusion is that Omega status is justified
: and the price of the watch is justified as
: well.

I would have to agree here with your conclusion Georges. Although I must say that Seiko does look impressive--not to compete with Omega that is, just looks good for Seiko :-).
