People seem to forget that Omega is a BUSINESS to make it's shareholders at the Swatch group money. Yes they make watches for collectors BUT they are a business earning profit.
We seem to forget that and get disappointed or angry when they do not cater to our every whim. No one else to be complaining to AP, Patek, Rolex, etc...who does it even more than Omega. This bothers me a bit 😑
Regardless, if we look at the watch purely from a neutral standpoint, the price is MORE THAN justified.
You have a MATAS certified chronometer from a NEWLY developed movement.
Then you have the unique animation for the caseback which is a first I have seen for any watch in this price range.
Not to mention the design and time spent for production and logistics.
All that for under 10k euros which is around the same price as a new Submariner or GMT.
Sorry but for me, it is not even a close choice or fair fight.
Would I rather have an UBER cool and unique piece or another Sub/GMT/insert whatever Rolex you want here.
I know where my money is going and people can choose as they like.
No one is forcing them to spend any of their money so why complain or hate?
As for the speculators and supply and demand, I have no idea but guess we will see 🤷♂️
