While I agree in principal, perhaps some brief comments regarding the major aspects and differences between these movements may be in order.
While I am aware of a number of them, I don't feel competent enough to express those features and differences accurately and completely.
As an example, I believe the broad arrow is an auto and COSC certified but the speedy this gentleman is interested in may be a manual wind (not sure) and may be a bit less accurate out of the box. Assuming the accuracy of the above, there may also be other details Mr Reeves would find enlightening. (Power reserve and the like, etc)
: The movement is merely the clock mechanism
: inside. For the most part, you can simply
: trust that any Omega watch has a good
: mechanism inside and not worry about the
: details.
: Rather like the of the engines in BMW, Mercedes
: and other high end cars. Only a tiny percent
: of buyers know or care about the differences
: between DOHC or VORTEC or whatever choices
: there are. They buy a high-end brand so they
: DON'T have to question such details.
: There are a few peopel that debate the
: differences, but those arguments are on a
: pretty esoteric level as any of these are
: far more than sufficient for any normal use.
: Rather like the guys that argue about the
: differences between the top speeds of
: 120-140 MPH on their sports cars -- yet they
: will virtually never drive them over 90 MPH!
