Nomos for Doctors Without Borders

Will Omega Fail time for a Vote
There has been lots of threads and remarks about the greed and stratergy of the Boutique route Omega has taken. Like many of us I have witnessed empty Boutiques in London on a Saturday surely this must be their busiest day, where it feels very strange and almost like your every move is being monitored. Not an nice feeling. Anyway I'd Love to know what your feelings are about whether Omega will succeed or fail and revert back to ADs to sell their watches for them.
