According to a journalist.

So, the Swatch Group have given up Omega and Breguet to a privately owned company (Rolex), and apparently Rolex has consumed the other high end privately owned company (PP).

Sometimes I wonder if journalists ever research anything, or just print shit they heard when they were picking up their soy milk triple froth extra grande darkest roasted cortado double cupped latte.

 

Funny thing is, they probably could buy GE...

 

Fake news.

 

IF it were true...you'd probably end up having to buy a few Constellations before you could get a Speedy Pro or a Seamaster 300!

 

Speedy and seamaster are SS, they will be unobtainium like Rolex SS tool watches

 

I sent the author of this article an email asking for the background of this merger for my research paper.

If Simon responses I will let you know.

 

Hah please do!
(Internet) Journalism has gone to complete shit...

 

<checks calendar> Well, it's not April 1st...

 

Would you expect more from ‘shaking_my_head.com’?

 

Not to be too pedantic, but doesn't it say Breitling instead of Breguet?

 

Bah! Breitling, Breguet......both start with "B", let's not get too accurate. Keep up with the journo standard.

 

It's OK, they've corrected the story.




Either he's a WIS having a good shitstir, or a complete tool.

 

RU FKM???

 

I think he's given up.

Some journo 's don 't let the truth get in the way of a good story.

 

I expect the watches this guy wears are as fake as the news that he writes.

 

I had such a good laugh at that - not because they got it wrong a second time, but just imagining all the Rolex fanboys heads exploding if that were true...

 

No email response from Simon on his fabulous reporting.

 

I imagine it would be something like this:

 

a true limited edition! something omega can learn about
