·People self-identifying as 'gents', is that a large customer base these days? Did Omega really phrase it like that, or did a really ornery writer just make it up?

·Are these rhetorical questions? Cause I have no clue what type of font, if gents are a large customer base, if Omega phrased it like that, or if a horny writer just made it up.

·If I didn’t know better, you could have told me that ad was in a Playboy magazine from 1978 and I would have believed you.
The font, the colors, the layout, the watch...just blech.

·Approximately no one uses "gents" in the US except once in a long while to reference the bathroom or if they use the MC term "ladies and gentlemen...."

·Bit off-topic I know, but I have a real abiding interest in certain language phenomena, and observing some of them is for me one of the delights of this forum. That includes unintentional errors of tone or style by otherwise fluent users of English as a second language. In this instance, I know how clanging and down-market the abbreviation "gents" sounds to a British English-speaker, but I was wondering, do e.g. Aussie, N American, SA., or other Anglos hear the same thing? What about others? Non-anglophone companies pay a lot - if they are wise - to ensure they don't suffer any damage from these subleties, so I was surprised that WatchTime missed it.
Probably going to need to take it up with Omega, because, believe it or not, "Gents" is what Omega is calling the collection and WatchTime didn't miss anything.
Here's the link to Omega Website and the Gents collection
