@SimonMac - The Omega Genéve is ageless, and remains contemporary. Beautiful timepiece.I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).Comment

I have had mine (Cronostop version) for over 40 years the last service (£110) was ten years ago and done by a UK specialist. It took two weeks with new glass, main spring and winder.Originally posted by SimonMac View PostOver nine months later the watch is finally back from its trip around Europe after being sent to be repaired

The value of the watch (percentage wise) has increased more than house prices
Omega went bankrupt some years ago and were bought out by Swatch. New Omegas are really male jewellery."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
