Omega watches have always been one of my loves..

But a watch that cost 50 bucks in the 60's is now going for 1,000 or more..  What happened..?

A nice strapless, scratched Seamaster could almost always be found at the swap meets and flea markets....now the same strapless scratched watch head is sitting on a velvet pillow and a couple of zeros nave been added...

It just seems to be taking the fun out of a great hobby and past-time..

What's a guy to do....

Yep, they started competing with Rolex.
Inhouse movements and a yearly price increase...
