10 yrs ago hunting my first "proper "watch I was against the quartz idea in principal but couldnt get the Bretling Aerospace off my want list , made the mistake of handling / trying one in Beaverbrooks & nothing else would do . Still my all time favourite even with a battery
I have to agree with you on the Omegas now RE the prices new ( same for Breitlings , Tags & most others i guess ) , great news if you already own or get chance of a good deal 2nd hand but topline a lot of money for what was initially a third of todays price
