Re: Omega Seamaster 2221.80 vs. 2220.80------WebKi

Thanks for the welcome! (ignores rest of post...looks like you are having a bad day).

BTW: Rolex, Omega, Tag...they are all good.

: Peter
: First let say welcome to the Omega family ....
: you've made an excellent decision to get an
: Omega.
: Having said that I'm wondering why you feel the
: need to in at least two postings that I've
: read by you on this site, you've let it be
: known that you own a Rolex and a Tag ......
: and in this posting you seem compelled to
: tell us how much you spent on your Omega
: (really tacky} ...... and you worry about
: what people will think of you and your
: purchase.
: It's been my experience that many if not most
: of the Omega owners I've had the good
: fortune to have met over the years also own
: other "Luxury" watches such as
: Rolex, unfortunately Tag can't quite make
: the leap to the luxury watch category. And
: when talking about about our watches, we've
: usually agreed that we weren't real
: impressed with our Rolex's which is why we
: switched to Omega and we've never regretted
: or cared about what others may think of us
: for having done so ........ why is it so
: important to you......... and who really
: gives a damn if the second hand doesn't fall
: EXACTLY on the hash mark unless you're the
: timer at some sporting event......I don't
: look at the second hand long enough to
: determine EXACTLY where it is ... and I
: don't know anyone (except you) who does. I
: think that most of us have more important
: things to do with our time than obsess over
: our hash marks .Unfortunately your posting
: reminds me of the same type of elitist
: snobbery that seems to afflict folk who try
: to buy status ....... take some
: advice....... enjoy your watch .... while
: you can ..... regardless of the movement
: ....... cause' you've only got so much
: .......... time ........left.

: Rod ...
