Georges -what happened with the broad arrows ?

In Response To: some thaughts ()

: Hi

: Omega is relatively good value for money. But
: its vintage models keep a far better value
: than new ones.
: Omega despite using non inhouse movements is
: the second most recognized brand after
: Rolex. However the problems that happened
: with the Broad Arrows should take your
: attention and think twice before the
: purchase. I think that the price increase is
: mainly due to marketing and advertising
: costs.
: I would go for a vintage pre 1967 speedmaster
: with a 321 caliber which is the best chrono
: you can get in my opinion.
: Wishing you all the best for your next
: purchase.

: regards

thanks for your comments on this subject Georges,

even after all my concerns about the ETA movements in Omega watches, i still much prefer the omega design direction compared to Rolex.
again, re your comments, what happened with the Broad Arrow watches ?
