Re: Omega represents top quality

In Response To: Omega represents top quality ()

This is what I bought:

SMP 2264 model with non-us bracelet.
I love it.
However, further to the discussion,
I must say I scrutinized the watch very carefully and here are the "minor" bugs I�ve discovered (I do not care much about them, just mentioning it ;)

1. Quartz movement: the second arm seem to "bounce-back" a very small portion (approx. 01 mm) every 2-3 seconds. Hardly noticable, but if you observe it you can notice it. (is this "normal"?)

2. Luminance: The "twelve" mark is not uniform in the application of the luminant material. Should I say.. the upper/right part of the marking is little more elevated then the lower part. Hardly noticable, but in a dark room, the luminant performance isn�t equal all over the spot.

..same with the hour arm, the luminant materia isnt appliced uniform.
It is specially noticable when looking at the watch in darkness.

But! I love this watch!
