That's pretty steep for an Omega book.. That's more than twice "The Best Of Time" Dowlings Rolex book..

LOL no way, simply because I do not feel it is worth anywhere near that price. As an Omega owner who likes his SMP (sometimes lol) there is still no way. If it makes you or who ever happy then sure go for it because it could be a nice keepsake

Yeah, but it is about 3 times thicker than Dowling's book and has about 3 times as many photos I am told. I will have to think about it. Have another Omega book, that was ok, not much info just photos.

Hi guys!
Bringing this one up again, as I just saw the thread... Well, I just wanted to add my 2c here... Said book, "OMEGA - A Journey through Time" is truly amazing. Much more than a simple coffee table book... It is an intimate and intriguing "walk" through Omega's immensely rich history. It is like a virtual walk through their amazing museum in Bienne!! The author being Mr. Marco Richon, the curator of the museum... well, that says it all!!! With over 800 pages (832 to be exact) and more than 6,625 (!!!) illustrations, filled with very accurate, interesting and very valuable information, this book is - imho at least - a true jewel and well worth its price tag. --> @ Omega.ch: OMEGA - A Journey through Time I for one would not want to be without it... as I think it is (together with Mr. Richon's earlier amazing work, "Omega Saga", one of the truest and most authoritative books on watches (and on a watch- company) ever written! Just my 2c... With best regards Petros
