realism always hurts

In Response To: Why so emotional? ()

Dear Felix

In many forums threads about several problems touching Omega are still made:
-the 33xx problems are far to be resolved because in every place of the world there is not a single person who hasn't complained about this movement
-if the 1120 wasn't subject to the sudden stop, then there wouldn't have been threads made about it
-customer service improved lately? You gotta be kidding. Read the many horror stories of various Omega customers and watch owners in every forums then maybe you will realize that you are in the few minority who think that Omega evolved positively when it isn't the case.
-Omega was near perfection before Hayek and his crew made bad changes

Check their price rise and you will see that Omega tries to be at the same level than Rolex and therefore prices its watches to be competitive with Rolex.Manufacture status isn't a myth or a urban legend.You lose more value with an eta based powered like a smp than with a sub or a sea dweller and manufacture means better quality than having recurse to a subcontractor except Lemania who is the best chronograph and complicated movements manufacturer.

just my 2 cents
