Omega quality? Omega service?

I had been planning on buying a full size automatic Seamaster Pro. until I found a web site which has about 50 people talking about how bad the customer service is with Omega (3-12 months to get a watch back from repair). There were also many comments about Omega mandating that the seals be inspected yearly at $100 an inspection, that the bracelet links keep falling off, that the underside of the bezel rusts, that water leaks into the movement and fogs up the crystal. Most of these people said they would never buy an Omega again. PLEASE, you are more knowledgable than I on this subject, please let me know your experiences with the Seamaster. I want to buy the last watch of my life, but also don't want to "baby it." I want to go swimming, play tennis, run, skydive, etc., with it on and not have to think about it falling off my wrist or fogging up, etc. Can you help me here? Is the quality on a used Seamaster as good as a new one? I'm very tentative on buying a Seamaster after what I read from folks like you and me. HELP!! I need input! Thank YOU!
