Re: De Ville Co-Axial Advice Needed
In Response To: De Ville Co-Axial Advice Needed ()

: 4832.50.31? I know that the 4832 is the
: Power Reserve model that lacks a second
: hand, but since both models have a 44 hour
: power reserve, why is one model designated
: "Power Reserve"?

The one designated "Power Reserve" has an INDICATOR on the dial of the current level of reserve. That is a rare and unusual feature.

: 2) What are those two little dials on the face
: of the 4832 for? Is one of them a small
: second hand? I noticed that this model does
: not have the traditional large, sweeping
: second hand.

Yes. One is the second hand, the other is the indicator for the power reserve level.

: 3) Does the alligator strap have a clasp on the
: end or is it traditional (i.e. like a normal
: watch band that you would fasten like a
: belt)?

No idea. Omega is bad about not displaying that info on the website.
