1. Do you think that Omega Seamaster Master Co-Axial is too wordy?




BAM !!! he really liked that question…paused him for serious thought.

You actually may be responsible for the eventual re-naming of an Omega watch. That's pretty freaking surreal if you think about it.



Digression: This guy is incredibly open and frank for a CEO of a major brand / company. Mr. Urquhart is a man's man - my kind of guy!

Mad respect for admitting that he takes some sort of sedative in order to sleep on those damn long-haul, red eye flights. Real down to earth dude.

I thought it was pretty cool that he addressed all of those questions, I wasn't expecting that at all especially on the ones regarding parts supply

Morning,

We are interviewing Omega's global CEO for 45 mins tomorrow and wanted to see if there were any questions that you'd like asked? No guarantees that we'll be able to get to all of them...or that we get answers, but we'll do our best!

Can you repost the interview?

Discard this if it is an inapropriate newbie type of question.

Can we have that plastic part replaced with a metal part in the cal 1861 movement?

I wouldn't mind a new link to that article as well.

As for replacement of the Delrin brake "Al Archer" explained the differences of it in a few past posts. Really no need to change it, it was simply for aesthetics.

No need to change it from a working point of view. But plastic in a swiss movement, no thanks. I have my Casio £8.99 digital for that.

This post is not in the vein of the lofty attributes of the contents of the first few posts of the summer past, but I could wish that the watches didn't have to be quite so large and one could opt out of any sort of date feature. So often, the watches would be so much more attractive without any date feature. Only one opinion.

Agreed with losing the date on dress watches. It makes the dial more balanced. Sub-37 mm watches are few and far between nowadays, and sometimes the brands are dumb enough to label them as women's watches which alienates a whole group of vintage collectors who might have bought a modern watch that wasn't a hubcap.

For example, Roger Dubuis makes the Excaliber in 42mm for men and 36 mm for women, but they look identical unless you add diamonds to the bezel:

It's a very contemporary look that I like, but what heterosexual male wants to own a lady's watch?

Non-date means you can set more easily too when you own multiple watches which I like

It would be nice to have a few non date small ones like the 60s Seamasters.
