Re: If you h ave seen vintage omega inhouse moveme

In Response To: If you h ave seen vintage omega inhouse movements ()

: you wouldn't have never said that.
: Omega quality of inhouse vintage movements is
: by far superior to the quality of any eta
: movement.
: The winding system on the old omega automatic
: movement ia jeweled pivot system ensuring a
: maximal bidirectional winding and maximal
: power reserve of the watch. Not only vintage
: Omega movements have a better power reserve
: than Omega eta based movements but they
: don't need to be serviced every 5 years.
: The manufacture status is what made Omega
: truely unique.

I'm afraid our priorities are different. Omega can ramp up in-house production and produce these movements again to please movement aficionados, raise the price considerably because of the higher unit price, and lose sales overall because of higher prices. Omega is in the business of making money.
