In Response To: Re: Further proof: Bizzare stuff going on at Swatc ()

Greetings, I’m a long time first time.

The problem I’m having is that even though some of these embarrassing gaffs may be able to be laid at the feet of say advertising or a related department other than R & D, the fact is, watch “mistakes” … err … design flaws are hitting the market. Wasn’t there a Seamaster with “Speedmaster” written/applied on the dial or vise versa?

So, is this a further example of Swatch’s ideal of commitment to accuracy and quality. We’ve already seen Omega’s problems with certain movements and increasing “misadventures” in U. S. servicing. On top of this, we have Swatch applying the proverbial thumbscrews to AD’s as they plan to take Omega further upscale? Does anyone see anything wrong with this picture?
