路Decided to use a new camera to review the watch in High Def. Hopefully this will help anyone who is planning to purchase one of this vintage.
P pregesBe cautious if considering Omega for function as opposed to appearance. You have to read the fine print. The dive watches are only water-resistant if you take them in annually to an Omega Service Center and pay to have it serviced (appx. $350/year). The seals need to be replaced regularly. (My titanium Seamaster automatic has rusted from the inside-out.) Further, the timing/accuracy and the stopwatch features are reliable if you have a sedentary lifestyle. The representative informed me that using the watch at work (I'm a helicopter pilot) exposed the timepiece to unusual vibration and stress, and thus it was not Omega's responsibility that it was unreliable/non-functional. (Remained reliable for just under six months.) Plan for the repair bill if considering an Omega seamaster: $1700 and annual check-ups. Go into your purchase with eyes open. (Possibly these watches really do belong only on the hands of actors, and not people in the real world...)
