Great looking watch but if its priced anywhere near the Aqua Terra GMT
How do you expect that a 150m watch case would cost the same price as a 600m case with helium valve?
You should expect higher price than the Aqua-Terra Tony.
My point Will is the AT is around $7500 which I think is outragous, so that one in the mid $8's, I dont think so
But then again, here we go with each persons opinion of value
Here in Norway, a site sells the A.T GMT for 5700$ on special offer.
I found them at 6000$ in the US (swissluxury.com).
But I agree with you that the list price up to 7900$ is way too high for a mass produced watch of this kind...
Even with the discount, I would not trigger for it.
You have to remember that Omega's goal seems to be at grabbing a part of the "luxury" market from Rolex, who's already trying to push prices as far as they can before the demand fall.
This is a vicious game where Rolex has a big throne builded by the most outrageous advertising budget in watch history which has to be paid back by the customer.
All in all: More Omega tries to follow Rolex there, less Omega will be affordable.
