Re: I'm sorry to read this John.

: "In light of the proceeding globalization
: in the field of luxury brands (Chinese and
: other developing markets), Omega just intend
: to get rid of the mass-product-image by
: reducing the numers of their outlets. This
: is a painful process but without this
: consequent step, Omega will dilute with
: other mid- and low-level brands like TAG
: Heuer, Ebel, Sinn and other brands. This
: might be a way too, but they didn't choose
: this way to go."

: How about if Omega started focusing on quality
: again instead of reducing its outlet
: capacity?
: In my opinion, Omega is merely trying to fix
: its image problems from the wrong end.
: Firstly and mostly, image is upheld by
: QUALITY. Omega can limit its outlets as much
: as it likes, and it will not change this fact. If the company has to resort to
: such pathetic measures, it seems as if the
: more urgent quality issues have remained
: unaddressed.

: John, I'm sorry to hear about your
: disappointment. Fortunately, Omega isn't the
: only brand I admire, (its one of many brands
: I admire) so my chances of being completely
: disappointed by them is much smaller. I do
: hope, however, that you will not decide to
: leave this forum because of your
: disappointment with Omega. Your
: contributions have been extremely valuable,
: especially since Derek's demise.

: Common man
