    "Any plans of releasing a broad arrow Railmaster, based on the antimag. cal. 8400 and with the "correct" retro design like the new Seamaster 300 Master Coaxial, but without the bezel of course " . He properly won't answer that, but its worth a shot ;-)

    chasing short-term profit by selling and pushing models is one way of making $$$.

    Another way is to restrict parts to independent repairers, forcing collectors to send watch back to the company, where they continue to "service" by exchanging old parts for brand spanking new service parts, and charge a motcha for their effort. Another way of making $$$.

    Either way, we are doomed.

    thanks for coming up with questions because as a journalist, you then don't need to think or research the brand?? :p :p :D
    But really, you're more a vehicle for marketing and advertising for these companies... in scientific research, positive and negative results are published to minimise publication bias, but from your website, everything seem positive!! guess we all need to take what we read with buckets of salt...

    Johnson, not everyone gets to go to events like these in person, so some appreciate the chance to "get involved". I do the same when I write for Calibre 11 and it's not because I need the help. Nor did we "need" it here.

    As for the website, it's there for everyone to read and make up their own mind. We know we can't please everyone.

    Sorry, I'm just bitter because I visited the Air and Space Museum last year and brought my 105.012 along for the occasion, only to find that Armstrong's Speedy is not on display. Still a sore topic.

    Why in the world was the Brosnan Bond SMP 2531.80 discontinued? Can they bring it back?

    Damn though, you saw how well they pulled off the piepan dial for the Sedna, that'd be a very sweet watch.

    No question they can do it. Would love to have a NNS (same as NOS but newer:D) pink gold Constellation with a 38mm old style lyre lugs.

    Why was the 2254.50 design discontinued rather than incorporated with an 8500 or 8400 caliber?

    Will OMEGA make a digital stopwatch again?
