That's interesting. Omega's usual practice is to return all parts . . .
. . . that were replaced during service. Perhaps that policy has changed recently. Art
Congrats on this great addition!
As a dive watch fan, I hope to be able to add one at some point. While the reissue whether in steel or titanium is great, it's hard to beat the charm of the old lady. Here's a photo I took quite time ago: ...
if you want a 1200m, be quick
I heard recently from a couple of Omega boutiques in Paris that the titanium Ploprof is no longer produced. Either nobody wants it and it costs more than its revenue, or they're preparing for a replacement. I just hold once the steel and once the titanium...
