hmmm...seems pretty weird that since it's such a unique piece but yet not popular among Omega enthusiasts.
Is there any particular reason why this model is not so well received?
Would you say that perhaps it is due to it being different from the 'standard' Seamaster movement produced by Omega?
: : Hi,
: As far as I know, the Apnea has not been officially discontinued by
: Omega. Its still listed on the Omega website. Very few people on
: the "forums' actually own one so there are not many reviews
: of it that I have seen. The movement is a modular type also used
: in some of Omega's other watches and I haven't heard of any real
: trouble with it other than that its hard to service and most
: time the module part is just replaced. If you see one at an AD
: its probably been there for a while as its not a popular watch.
: There is nothing i have seen about having the watch serviced
: immediately after purchase. This seems somewhat ridiculous to me
: as sitting dormant in a show case doesn't deteriorate the
: movement. New in box should still come with omega 2 year
: warranty, so no worries there. If it appeals to you, then get
: it, but I would guess that there is not a large secondary market
: for it so if you decide to sell it, be prepared to take a
: significant drop off the purchase price. Personally, its a
: unique piece and pretty scarce so you won't run into anyone else
: having one. If anything its a good conversation piece for sure.
