I would choose a Brand name watch over a boutique brand watch every time if I really had to choose one or the other.

20 years from now you will be able to send your Omega back to Omega for service and they will be able to fix any problem with the watch including putting it in a new case if it needs it, you will get a new watch back if you wish it.

20 years from now if you send your doxa in to doxa for repairs you will get an apology letter back explaining how sorry they are that they can't fix your old and busted watch.

I realize a lot of people have been well trained by the boutique brands to think their thousand dollar watches are disposable but the truth is real watch companies service what they sell... forever.

In reality you are not getting anywhere near the same amount of watch for the money.

If you are really choosing one watch or the other long term serviceability would be a major factor to me, however if we are actually talking about which one to buy first then it's not such a big concern because the doxa really is a freaking great watch and I know not all my watches were created equal.

I guess what I am trying to say is if you will go hungry to buy a 2k watch then I would buy the Omega, if it's play money then buy whichever one floats your boat! ThumbsUp02.gif
