I'll Second That...

: I completely agree with you Chuck, and
: hopefully your motto at the bottom of every
: post you give will come true!

In fact, it always angers me when Chuck is so viciously attacked over on timezone for simply stating the facts about the 33xx series. Those that defend the movements are only giving their opinions, but Chuck has taken the time to actually compile the data to document the 33xx failures. Thus, Chuck's posts are based on actual real-world data, not mere hypotheses or "gut feelings".

In fact, things have become so nasty that I have seen Chuck attacked by people who say that "Chuck must be happy to see another 33xx series failure to add to his blog." Give me a break!!! We would ALL love to see Omega and Piguet get their acts together and fix these movements once and for all. How do any of us benefit from buyers spending thousands of dollars on watches that break?

In response to Felix's post, I honestly don't think that Omega cares what we, the consumers, have to say about their QC shortcomings. After all, we had over 240 people sign a petition to get my AD reinstated, and many of the signers also wrote personal letters to Omega. Not one person, myself included, received any reply from the powers that be at Omega. Even if Omega didn't agree with our petition, they could have offered us the courtesy of a reply.

I think Omega has an agenda, and making improvements based on what loyal and knowledgeable consumers have to say is not part of it.
