    A shortage of Omega Globemasters?

    Is there a shortage of Omega Globemasters? There don't seem to be many in shop windows.

    And, come to think of it, I've never seen one in the wild.

    Is it un-loved?

    Ive never noticed a shortage, and just have to look in my watch box for a close up ;)
    It's just a matter of time...

    I looked behind the sofa and found 3. I guess it is just forgotten.

    Is it because a) a price rise is due next month, b) a new model containing the next generation model is coming out this Baselworld, or c) Omega obviously want to control supply therefore increasing demand at secondary market level thereby enhancing its prestige?

    d) slow seller so ADs don't want to stock them.

    That Globmaster is now with the extra bonus of dried oils and needing a service!

    I think they were in the local boutique near me. Can’t say for sure.

    Dare I say Omega make some dull watches, and the Globemaster is one of them, and over priced to boot.

    Unlike you, who has history here before and once again ‘rumbled’.

    I was thinking the same. The Aqua Terra range and the Globemaster are definitely cut from the same incredibly bland cloth. Insipid.

    I rather like them, but if I was putting my hand in my pocket I couldn't bring myself to choose one over a Datejust.

    More globemasters than anything else in the window of my nearest AD, there’s about half a dozen of them...
