How is it counterintuitive? My friend asked me the same question if I thought Ferraris should be flawless given the price (our mutual friend recently bought an F12 for low $200s and I warmed him about warm restart issues on that engine). To his surprise I told him no, not even remotely flawless. They are low production cars and handbuilt for a lot of it. If I was looking for something flawless and without issue I'd buy a Toyota where they make them by robots by the millions (Toyota Lean Six Sigma). Anyone buying a low production (partially) handmade good would expect this.
What I said. But most people who don’t buy these goods expect them to be perfect as they are sooo expensive -> counterintuitive for them as for most original posters in this thread.

I am over the moon and wish to thank Roltime and Omega.
I am happy for you! Omega knows, that this gesture and act of goodwill will be noticed by maybe 100 members of this forum. Target group! And maybe 2 - 3 or even more future decisions made in favor of Omega.

According to this line of reasoning Omega is Toyota and not Ferrari. I guess, that is what you meant to say too, didn't you? The same for Rolex. Purely Toyota. Patek, yes, Ferrari, but such comparisons are always relative.

What amazes me is the thinking that a $10k anything should not have a fault. Try buying a 500k newly built house. And you have a Check sheet of issues.
How is that amazing ? A 10k€ watch is a luxury product, whilst a 500k€ house isn't - unless you live in an impoverished area.

How is a half a million dollar house not a luxury to 80% of the world’s population that lives on under $10US a day 🤦


Did you know… Half the world lives on less than $2.50 a day. And 900 million people cannot read or write.

Happy to update that Roltime, the importer and service center of Omega here in Israel, made good on their promise.

This morning I received a factory fresh watch with cards.

I am over the moon and wish to thank Roltime and Omega. I didn't even think of asking for a replacement watch, although, in retrospective, it makes sense that it was replaced given the circumstances.

I've edited the OP as well.

Congratz, the best possible solution. Now time to enjoy that beautiful watch!

My Opinion then…..

When they fix it, it will be all good.

Small gift for inconvenience would be nice and probably given without asking.

Compensation expected, your coming across as a spoiled brat.


I think he meant a small gift, when he says compensation?

By 1st world (pre-emptive lexical commentary : this means "rich countries" - in case you're somehow stuck with the Cold War terminology) standards, that is. Because I don't think many of us on this forum are part of that 80% - far from it. I thought it would be obvious.

It's actually more than zero. If you're going to try and be going as classy as nouveau rich me - by way of launching personal attacks - you better dig a bit more at my posting history.
