Each to their own. For me, I can't see the point of a watch which you have to plug into the mains every day to charge up. I have one which I just wear to keep it going so it doesn't need a battery. I can read it in an instant day or night without having to press a button. Its not blingy, just a beautiful piece if precision engineering. |

In fairness I can understand why. Saying that. I get mine regularly serviced by the makers as they are sent back to the f�ctory. As an investment. Far better than what we drive!!!! My Rolex will still fetch North of �10k. And it's a 1999 ! Tony

Servicing is the downer, you could buy an Apple watch for the cost of an Omega service, but as you say, these things hold their value. |

I will admit to possibly having an obsession with watches, mainly analogue ones though I do have a couple of quartz ones which seldom get worn.

Worth knowing, thanks. Last time it took Omega 6 weeks to do a service. |

I get the point about plugging it in, but it's no big mither it's a magnetic charger and it's on a dock so I just hang it up at night and it charges up. |
