NOTHING about the exterior finish and fit justifies the the exhorbitant cost difference! IMHO. Now, "under the hood" is a different story and it's the above par craftsmanship of the movements and the heritage of original design and inovation that justifies the investment. Let's say, for the sake of argument, you take a Standard, intro level Omega that has nothing extraordinary going on in terms of the exterior case; is Swiss Made movement in the Omega that much better than a Valjoux 7750 found in a SAN IV or a SAS or even a SWI with a V7751? How many of the 1st Run SAS 7750's would it take to match up to one standard intro level Omega? __________________ Love the Lord your God with all of your heart, soul, mind and strength.
