Omega Men's 2317.30.00 Seamaster Aqua Terra Quartz Two-Tone Watch

I originally purchased this watch nearly 10 years ago, and I also have several other Omegas in my watch collection. This was my first luxury watch, and I paid more than $2500 10 years ago. Battery life has been great, time keeping great, and overall satisfaction excellent. Very nice fit and an impressive item.

I had high hopes for this watch, as it was a special gift for my husband and was a good price. However, when I received it it did not operate - the warranty included was with a third party that you would have to pay to insure it to, mail it out, and pay a $10.00 fee for any service. Omega did not warranty the watch. Since we did not know what was wrong with it, it was returned. For that price, I would expect the watch to be in running condition when received.

When I spend $2K on a watch, I expect it to run when I get it. Perhaps the battery was dead, but I wasn't interested in paying to find out. I returned the watch the same day it arrived.

On the up side, the Amazon return was easy and Amazon promptly credited back the purchase price to my credit card.
