Omega watches and there being sold on the web. Also the famous Moon watch.

Omega watches are some of the most prestige’s and classic timepieces in existence today.
The Omega Speedmaster, which is more commonly known as the moon watch, is a manual wind chronograph with a tachometric scale bezel. This watch was chosen by NASA over 12 other brands to be the watch used in space missions. This Chronograph went thru extensive testing including exposure to extreme temperatures, vacuums, humidity, corrosion, shock, extreme acceleration, pressure, noise and vibrations. Making this a timepiece that has proven itself worthy under extreme conditions it is definitely one you can trust. To this day this is the only watch that was ever worn on the moon. It is also the only chronograph that was flight qualified for extra vehicular use by NASA. The Russian Space agency NPO Energija also uses this Omega for their Astronauts. The Seahorse that you can see on Speedmasters and some other Omegas originated on the Moon watch. This chronograph has become so popular there is now a speedmaster line that have different styles that appeal to men and women.
This is not the only quality watch that Omega makes. I personally own 2 vintage Omega's. One is a 70's Constellation and the other is a Omega Seamaster. I have loved both these timepieces. They are quite accurate and have served me well.
Let me talk about Omega's ongoing attempt to keep the Omega line off of the internet. The companies stance is that they do not want any of their watches sold over the internet and that anyone who is selling their brand on the net is selling either fakes or watches of dubious origin. Well let me address this. What is happening is the following. Omega is really serous about no one selling there products on the net however as one day they will find out there is no way that you can keep stuff if the net. Well the Omegas that you can generally buy from websites unless they are used have the serial numbers removed this is because Omega will come and buy a watch from you and track the serial number back to the account they sold it to. Then they will shut down the account and no longer sell watches to them therefore when a new Omega watch is sold over the internet the serial numbers are removed from the movement so that there is no way to track the number back to the original account it was purchased under. These watches are covered by a 2 year warranty which equals Omegas own warranty. I hope this makes sense to anyone reading this. Basically the serial numbers are removed so the watch cannot be tracked back to the account that originally purchased it from Omega. Since there are not any serial numbers present the watches are warranted by the company that is distributing them over the web since Omega will not do warranty work on any watch that does not have a serial number. So I guess its up to you, pay full list for a Omega or save 10 to 20 percent for the same watch without a serial number. No one will ever know the difference except for a jeweler that can pop open the case.
I have a real love for Omega watches I love their style and the precision movements cant be beat. My old Omega Constellation still keeps time accurately I have had it cleaned once in the last 7 years. That is about the biggest pain about having a watch that actually has a movement verses quartz watches without any moving parts. Personally I just like the fact that there are tiny moving parts in there that are working in conjunction with each other in order to precisely keep time. The draw back is that these watches do need maintenance from time to time other then that they are great, besides I like the ticking sound that they make. I have an old Cortebert which ticks like a tractor. Hopefully I will be able to get my hands on a moonwatch sometime soon. It is my next watch that or a Tag Heuer Monaco. I just ran across the Monaco the other day and I have to say it is a really neat looking watch. I would probably take it right off of the original band and stick it on a leather band which probably would freak out most people want ing a tag.
If you got a cool watch that is either a classic or new and interesting post a comment and share it with us.
