woof* Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 The president of Omega watches was just on Fox business news. They were discussing the relevance of wearing a wristwatch today. The host Varny didn't wear a watch and took a studio head count, cameraman, producers etc..and five didn't wear a watch. The Omega president brought a couple with him, a special run Olympics Seamaster Chrono and what looked like a white rail master. He said Omega builds and sells 2000 watches a day The Varny guy was beside himself as he didn't think anyone wore a watch anymore. Another thing...the president of Omega pronounces it Oh-mee-guh. Ive always heard it as Oh-may-guh.
triplehd Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 "The Varny guy was beside himself as he didn't think anyone wore a watch anymore." What an idiot. The watch industry is what - a billion dollar industry. Last time i checked, it didnt disappear. I could understand the host stating that no one uses a VCR, but not wearing a watch? Come on...what an ass. As for the name - being half greek, we pronounce it as Oh - MAA - Ga. So, that is how i will always pronounce it.
