Re: Omega Advertisements in the US
In Response To: Omega Advertisements in the US ()

Hi

Bond is just pure marketing. They should tather make advertisement in the quality of their movement than on watches worn in movies. Movies doesn't tell you how good is a watch.In the past Omega always used the quality of its movements as an argument, not really the case today. 2006 Big Year for Omega? It will be a big year only if Omega solves the problems on the 33xx in a definitive manner and probably takes in consideration that the after sales service in their subsidiary in USA has to be greatly improved. Rolex has two great service centres in USA, the beverely hills and the new york service centres, not the case of Omega who had failed mediocrily with Lancatser and I don't know how is the successor of Omega Lancaster doing in terms of service. At last but not least, Omega USA shouldn't give complicated watches to young watchmakers who are most of the time n00bs who hasn't got enough experience for repairing comlplicated movements.Marketing doesn't tell you how good is a watch, the movement makes the whole difference.

regards

georges
