reasons why I prefer vintage Omegas over new ones

In Response To: Re: Air King ()

I will explain why my preference goes for vintage Omega.
Vintage Omega have:
-better movements (inhouse and made to last decades and they were not known to have problems unlike Etas)
-better value than modern Omegas (the price of a vintage Constellation is higher than the value of second hand smp,I am not talking about 321 and other 1040 and 1045 chrono which are sometimes more expensive than a modern Omega)
-better overall quality, reliability and accuracy over the very long run
-very sober design and very high functionnality
-tritium dials which glow better than the sucky luminova
-they don't need a service every unlike Etas.

The conclusion is simple for me, vintage over new models any day.

regards

georges
