: I did. Your Aqua Terra review on your website
: says: "Finally, since the movement is
: viewable via a sapphire display back, Omega
: has stepped up the finishing of the movement
: over the 1120."
: So which is it? Are they the same or does the
: 2500 have finer finishing than the 1120?
Actually, I pointed you to look at the PICTURES I have of the caliber 2500 via the display back in my AT, as well as the movement pictures I have of the 1120 in each of my Seamaster reviews.
But you've pointed out a significant error in my AT review, but one that is easily explained. At the time I wrote my AT review, I had not yet had the opportunity to open the case on a Seamaster Pro, and visually inspect an 1120. However, in researching the article, I came across information which seemed to point to the 2500 being better finished than the 1120.
Made sense right? No Seamaster Pro has a display back, so why have a finely finished movement? Well, if you examine the pictures I reference above, you'll see both movements have the same exact Geneva stripes, waves, and perlage applied on the rotor and bridge work respectively.
I had actually forgotten about that particular statement in the review, so I'm thankful that you've pointed out the error.
