In Response To: I think this is even sadder... ()

: Omega Lancaster state that the warranty
: doesn't cover the Bracelet & Clasp......

Ah, but don't forget... the quality of the answer depends a lot on exactly WHAT he asked.

Coverage is not a simple yes/no answer, since product warranties normally do not cover just *anything* that might happen to a product. Is it covered for damage, no. Is it covered for scratches, no. Is it covered for defects, yes.

And the sellers of these extended warranties know how to frame people's thinking so they ask questions of their manufacturer's warranties that they know the answer will be no. Such as: Is there a guaranteed, no questions asked, replacement should *any* problem occur.

So if he didn't fully understand what he was asking, or didn't ask the same question at both locations, then the answers -- taken out of context -- may seem contradictory when they might not have been.
