Laughable.
I felt a tad let down by omega given i own a collection worth a lot of money and the situation in general hasnt been ideal, in all honesty after a 20% discount was offered, further so by the fact it was only off the upgrade value but not the rrp as initially discussed. Thats my only moan about the cost.. i never said i was entitled to a free upgrade.. i just commented the offered one thing then changed the paramiters to suit last minute. Had the discount been applied to the rrp i would have utilised it against a higher value £8-10,000 variant of the watch. Most major jewellers here in the uk will give upwards of a 20% discount on the rrp if you haggle between them.. thats more money in my pocket so its absolutely not unreasonble... thats a highstreet non boutique with huge overheads.. if they can do it anyday, them omega directly are still making a whacking profit.
This is simply a watch at the end of the day that was not fit for purpose, not a car that gets you to work etc.. not something you necessarily rely on but something you wear as an accessory. For £5500 on the original model i have every right to feel the way i did and so should omega have gone above and beyond. 10 weeks all together i was without it, with no explanation on either occasion. All i knew was i was potentially out of pocket to a certain point. Clearly your loaded and that kind of money doesnt bother you. But... screwed isnt the word i would use.. messed around abit and yes i came out ontop costing me a further £1300 GBP for the same yet newer model in titanium.
As for the bmw.. i have a z4m sat in the garage that i use for the summer and having also owned an e46 m3 i know what your bleeting on about. Its a well documented fact the m3’s e46 suffered subframe issues amongst others and did from day one, however, mistakenly i thought i had landed on an Omega forum and not a BMW one.
So, out of pure humour and now that hopefully youve finished giving your ego a hand job ill humour the rest..
1. Private plate? I have two, one on each car the RS6 and the z4m, who cares about the plates ;-) im not impressed by them. You bought an e46 m3 probably knowing it had those issues so more fool you. Here in the uk many of the issues were dealt with on a dealer to dealer basis and services / warranty repairs were given free of charge for reasons not limited to age of the car, milage and relationship with the garage.
2. Clearly your not in the Uk and consumer rights aka ‘what i am entitled to’ whether you agree or not are different. Omega didnt ‘just have to service my watch’ i now had the right to reject it which is what i did. You need to know your facts here..
3. I could have just had the new replacement version for nothing or Omega would have comissioned a build in Switzerland for a new replacement of the original model, these were all put to me towards the end. A 20% discount was offered but only in the 11th hour was it explained ‘only on the difference in price and not RRP’ at the end of the day this is simply my day to day dive watch.
4. With regard to your car, how on earth would i know what time period you were reffering to, the year of your car or if it was out of warranty? I assumed you were talking about an e46 but dont happen to have a copy of your service history.
5. As for cold shock, I was asking the folks of this forum what their take was and if it could be explained / related to my watch as an example. Several people have responded with constructive answers explaining the testing process amongst others, you however just pipe up with a typical troll comment followed by jerking off over your car.
Finally, the only person ive crossed swords with is you, i came here to share an experience based on the fact i found very little on google etc. Surely the place to learn and find infomation is somewhere like here, from experts and enthusiasts? Isn't that what ive done? Have i not opened a thread that other people can now stumble on that might contain some relevant information shoukd the find themselves in the same situation?
