Re: MOONWATCH BOOK WARNING
In Response To: MOONWATCH BOOK WARNING ()

I've read the long string of posts regarding the Moonwatch Book and I'm still confused. Is it available through Omega UK or not? I emailed them but no response. Should I phone them?
I really want a copy of this book, but probably not at the price that people are asking on ebay.
Does anyone know for sure if they can be ordered from Omega UK?

: I feel I must bring this to the attention of

: You are doubtless familer with the

: A lovely piece of work by the Omega marketing
: people of 158 pages.
: I recently purchased a copy for £50 on the

: and no longer available.
: After a tip off I phoned Omega marketing here

: book readily available (though no longer in
: print), it costs a mere £15 inc post.
: I am dismayed to see that the person I bought
: my copy from is an ebay seller who regularly
