can't please everyone, huh?

3-4 years warranty? That's great. From omega boutique multi-brand stores as well?
Eventually... watches are items of hobbies, no matter what brand it's originated from, or whom the engineering design originate from.
Collectors are made up of different percentage of folks. Some look for long term serviceability. Some look for long term appreciation because of the branding or depending on the niche of the engineering.
So as watchmakers, some percentage prefers to stay with what they know, depending on the complexity and sourcing of the watch parts where applicable, some are adventurous enough to take new challenges. However, eventually the owners are the one who will be biting the bullets... just a matter of how big the "calibres" they willing to take the shot.
The biggest challenge which i see on Omega's co-axial movements, base on the discussions on other forums, is expensive to service, not to forget that the prices of parts and components plays some parts in affecting the sales...
Something for everybody's reference...
