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 fàctory. 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.
