I do like the watch, and the price seems right... but your comment about waiting 6 months is ominous! If these days, $500 can purchase 100 shares of GM stock OR a gold Omega Seamaster (not your chronometer, but the plain Jane I'm seeing) what will things come to, by May Day? Somehow I'm reminded of Dan Ackroyd, in "Trading Places"...

Pawnbroker: I'll give you fifty bucks for it.
Louis Winthorpe III: Fifty bucks? No, no, no. This is a Rouchefoucauld. The finest water-resistant watch in the world. Singularly unique, sculptured in design, hand-crafted in Switzerland and water resistant to three atmospheres. This is *the* sports watch of the '80s. Six thousand, nine hundred and fifty five dollars retail!
Pawnbroker: You got a receipt?
Louis Winthorpe III: It tells time simultaneously in Monte Carlo, Beverley Hills, London, Paris, Rome and Gstaad.
Pawnbroker: In Philadelphia it's worth 50 bucks.

I may have to take your advice about buying two watches, if the world's fair market values are in wholesale collapse!

:The warranty was generally one year in 1992, so it has expired.
: However, if Omega still offered the watches for sale in 1992 and
: they still appeared in the catalog (which is entirely possible),
: the 15 years they guarantee parts will be available would run
: from that point.

: For $500, and you like the watch, its hard to go wrong. If you are
: like the rest of us, wait six months, then buy the Deville as
: well!

: A couple more shots of the Seamaster
