Re: Omega hand fell off after 5 days !!!

: Why are you reluctant to buy a specific brand
: simply because you received a damaged one
: from an UNauthorized dealer?

The question is why am I reluctant to buy another Omega, nothing really to do with the source it comes from. The bad taste is the combination of a $4,000 watch falling apart, and the fact that, it sometimes happens that some dealers tamper with the inner parts or the bracelets, this is a fact. That is not to say that Asford does that, but they ARE not authorized dealer, and that adds to the suspicion. I also rec'd a note from another customer who purchased Omega Dynamic Chrono from Ashford and it didn't work. Coincidence, perhaps....

Thanks for your response.
