Seamaster Apnea

Hi,
I was just wondering if the Apnea has indeed been already discontinued by Omega?
This is because i still see it in a few stores, albeit few and far in between. Could it be old stocks? and if so how long would it already have been on the shelves?
I read somewhere that due to it's mechanism, the watch would need to be serviced as soon as it is purchased from the store....is this really true?

I have also read a few posts here that gave less than stellar reviews about it, but something about the watch that just appeals to me.....don't really know why maybe it's just me :P
Honestly from an unbiased opinion, is this particular model from Omega really that bad??

Thanks!
