I must have the last ever EOA ?
After all the hubub at Omega with the brown dial Philips watch, I must have the last ever EOA ? a true collectors piece now, may be send it to auction ? what do you guys think ? 😗🍿
I could always change the date, print it in light brown and stick it in the oven at 120c for an hour and ask Phillips to list it "no questions asked" they seem good at that sort of thing.😁
Don't go spending your auction proceeds yet. Omega has indicated to several outlets that the suspension is only temporary.
Mine is from 5th June 23 😝
And Omega's statement that the pause is only temporary should be taken as gospel? Their honesty is shot. If I was Omega I'd be asking what does the company get by peddling these extracts? Revenue, hardly. Good will and a service to collectors, yeah some. A vehicle increasingly used by scammers to market dishonest Omegas, absolutely. Omega should say, 'No More' and close that service down.

The extract system was always bent. The extract system was always useful. When Omega themselves didn't suffer any consequences of how suspect the extract system was the management looked the other way. Now they have had their fingers burnt, look stupid and are $3m out of pocket they finally care. It will return in a month or two with different staff and a new set of guidelines that may or may not mean it is more reliable and not the toy of the auction houses or dealers with deep pockets and useful personal phone numbers.
All they need to do to keep it legit and reputable is report purely what is in the records. Or not, and refuse the request for free. The rest (photos, comments by the sender/auction house) is where the problems start.
@Robert-Jan, have a word.
