Yep.....you win! What an ego!!! Just because Omega does something today doesn't mean it was the right thing to do or in their best long term interests. They USED to make their own manufacture movements, and if they had continued would not be running 2nd place to Rolex and others! Some of their finest movements were chronmeter cal. 551, cal 561, cal 564, and cal 752.
Great quality and still in demand today, some in fabulous 18K screw back cases......but not one truly "water resistant" on a par with the Rolex "oyster" cases for moisture protection for the period. Why not?.......because Omega "said" so, so it must have been right.
Yep.....Omega made the choice to stop making their own base calibers........and lost ground to Rolex by not providing water protection on their flagship models at a time when the technowledgy was readily available.
.......but then you win because Omega chose their own path, like today by continuing to put that useless Helium valve on the SMP! Only in your little mind! geeze......
Kid?.....at 48 and a 160 IQ smart enough to see you don't measure up in the important areas. I can only respond to what you say, dumdum......i'm not a mind reader!
Next time you want to make a point.......voice your oppinion and back it with some reasonable logic........instead of keeping it all inside where only you know what you're thinking.....like a gleeful idiot!
