In Response To: Re: here is all I know about Omega's movements ()

Hi John

In fact, the lose of manufacture status by Omega had a strong impact on its future. Who were the potential buyers of Omega in 1984 switch down to manufacture firms when Omega ceased its movements production.
My watchmaker is used to work both on Old and New Omega calibres. He said me the old ones are more robust, more trouble free,less subject to problems as compare to the eta based calibers.
The Omega old inhouse calibres can work even in bad conditions even if not being properly serviced case of the 30t2 and all Omega inhouse movements.
As I told you before some AD who were selling Omega dropped the brand.
You often hear it is just a rebadged eta, not false because Omega is not a manufacture anymore.
