I got the Swatch watch as a birthday present. In 1998 I picked up my new Omega Speedmaster at the Omega factory in Switzerland. The factory is in a fenced environment with a guard at the gate. On the grounds, besides the Omega buildings, there are Swatch buildings. I'm not a watch aficionado, but it seems to me like Swatch must be part of Omega. Like Leica, Omega has always enjoyed a good following. I realize that a lot of watch nuts will make disparaging remarks about Omega. Well, here's a lot of camera nuts that make disparaging remarks about Leica. I read it daily here on the LUG. I could care less. I like and use Leicas. And I like Omega watches. Especially the one I got at the factory. JB
