Thanks for the response guys. I've been feeling a bit of buyers remorse because of exactly how you guys described it...it just feels so.... "feel flimsy and ‘cheap’ " -Speedy D. Like the only thing that gives it value is the 18k numerals/markings and their aren't too many of them. Drives me crazy when I drop it on my wrist to clasp it and it rattles....yuck! I felt it was so bad, I started looking for official pics to make sure the omega boutique didn't sell me a fake. Oh and speedy d, totally agree with you on the clasp...chintzy design.
Have a read up on the movement used in this, and the other master chronometer certified Omega movements.
I know its a bit cliche and has been mentioned but heft doesn't really mean quality.
These movements of some of the most mechnically advanced watch movements ever produced, by any brand.
The certification is pretty scrupulous, tested over several days, at different power reserves, 6 different resting positions, at different temperatures and different magnetic fields. Its probably one of the best time only watches available today.
To give maybe some balance, one of my Jaeger Le-Coultre watches feels pretty flimsy too, and it actually did break when i used the quickset pushers to advance the data and moon phase. Not what you would expect from such a brand as JLC, in a modern moon phase too. All down to the hands being engaged in a date change at 10:40pm - not what you'd expect in a modern movement.
As mentioned, if you are use to divers and tool watches, dress watches, even from the big brands do feel delicate.
