·Sure, then I expect the warranty to fully cover the issue. We are talking about a diving watch, only12 months old, that get water inside.

··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...Never seen a brand new 3 series leaving people stranded on the highway..
The number of cars with defects found after delivery is actually quite high. Even for BMW and MB. Hand builds like rolls... you would not believe what they find on delivery sometimes.

·It's true!! Not really that big a deal. Have not idea what it was but the other X6 and the x5 cruised beautifully. Now I'm just waiting on my current lease to expire
Unfortunately these cars have too much technology and sometimes strange things happen. But in general BMWs are very reliable cars. I have done thousands of kilometres with them and never had an issue.

Look I’m a BMWphile but the pedestal your putting them on is a little high.

·Lol I have. Then again there are 3 BMW dealerships within 10 miles of me and ones the largest in the US.

I know my friend, I know.. I was just joking..

·.... In any case....
Going back to watches, with my 15 years old Sea Dweller on the wrist I have jumped from the rocks in the sea from, surfed the waves in Indonesia, I dove in the seven seas and never had an issue.
Maybe I am just lucky then.

·I always wonder how people can live through decades of life and still believe anything at all can be “flawless”.

·The biggest troubles I got from a car was a Porsche 997.1
I had to replace the exhaust out of warranty and I has the other famous issue of the oil leak from the seal. I sold it for these reasons.

·I drove a Fiat for 10 years and 150k kilometers and never got stranded, therefore all Fiat cars are flawless.

·Adding to @Archer if the policy was to upgrade a watch when a defect is found I recon we would all.of a sudden have a lot of defects appear around from people hoping they can get a 9g watch for 6g's
My point wasn’t to upgrade, it was to replace, and if the model was discontinued making replacement impossible, then provide the succeeding model (not necessarily a more expensive model). I agree it’s a ridiculous high bar to hold a company too, but some companies will do this. And it’s a watch, not a car. “Lemon” laws mandate replacement for when this happens. But I see everyone’s point.

·I read that also: ideally a next-day "replacement of the exact same model or the model that succeeded it,"
not free-of-charge upgrade to a different wristwatch that is priced fifty percent higher.

·Interms or warranty, it was accepted on both occasions it was a warranty issue but yes.. the inconvenience is a huge ball ache and shouldnt be expected on a watch retailing in the UK at £5500. The issue for me here was the fact it went to the service centre FOR water damage and came back to me STILL susceptible to water damage, therefore not only had the watch failed on qc grounds but the OMEGA themselves had also fallen short with the repair so it was kind of a double whammy.
I was happy to pay the or should we say ‘an’ upgrade fee but the way they went about that was also misleading and a bit naughty citing ‘At omega we dont offer discounts on watches at any of our boutiques’ so in all fairness it was a ‘like it or lump it’ on my part.
