Re: You won't get perfection if you don't ...

I agree. It is your money and you have a right to certain expectations particularly at certain price levels. I think most people would agree that the expectations for a $50 Casio or $75 Timex would be lower than for a $2000 Omega. Higher expectations are presumably why one is willing to part with more money...it is for quality. (Ironically two of my best performing, closest to "perfection" and toughest watches were a Casio and a Luminox).

So Tibor, to answer your question...I believe at this price level you have a right to a "dust free" watch if that is important to you (it would definitely bother me too). Besides, Omega would want you to be satisfied...there is no worse advertisement that an unhappy customer!
