Archer, with all my due respect here i would advice you to pay a visit to Venice. That is a tourist city, locals are few. And these that live there, well majority not at their will. I have been there many times plus i know quite a few Italians that live in the vicinity. Surely there will be locals like from Mestre, Padova etc that both have the means and awareness to buy it, but is this what Omega relies on?
No, clearly not as "metro" Venice is under 300,000. However there are multitudes of wealthy tourists who visit Venice every year...
Honestly this seems to be much ado about nothing, so the reason you are getting somewhat mocking replies is because you appear to be taking this way too seriously. Omega knows what they are doing generally, and if this watch doesn't sell (highly unlikely) then it will be like many others over the years that hasn't sold as well as they would have liked. It's not the end of the company (or world) if a specific model made in low numbers for a small market doesn't fly off the shelves...
What am I supposed to say? That i got what Kmart wrote? My gosh! That's clear. What is not clear is why limit geographically a product if you are not trying even to create desirability. Let us be honest. How many of you would pay a visit to Venice in order to buy the watch? Not many, if any. Who's gonna buy it? .
Expect some pictures during the weekend. My ultimate dress watch is coming...
I'm so excited...
congratulations!!
with that thin bezel, does it wear large?
looks great, I'm getting more excited for mine!
Yes it does, but not too large. It still sits on the middle of the wrist, not dominating the whole arm. 😀
Here you can see it better:
