Omega Advertisements in the US
In Response To: Sams Club days might be over? ()

: Darn, I was used to going down to the local
: Sams Club and finding a larger selection of
: Omega's than at my local AD. I think they
: have a serious image problem over here, and
: have yet in the 3 years I have owned Omega's
: seen an avertisement in the US for them. I
: would say that they have a huge mountain to
: climb over here, and I doubt that pricing up
: will help.

They do advertise in men's magazines like Mens Health, GQ, Esquire, etc. I've seen a lot of the "Pierce Brosnan's Choice" ads in those magazines. In fact, the very first ad I ever saw for the Bond SMP was a "James Bond's Choice" ad in GQ. I had the watch a couple weeks later.

The only other ads I see are on mall directories in malls with Omega AD's. We have quite a few here in Central Florida, but I'm sure this varies a lot by location.
