Re: omega/local jewelry store "incident"
In Response To: omega ()

If this happened to me, I would put some pressure on the local jewelry store since they are the folks you entrusted your watch to. Surely they could work with Omega to resolve this unusual incident, provided they actually did send the watch off to Omega in the first place. The jewelry store's explanation sounds a bit fishy to me, though. Just my 2 cents worth.
