In Response To: my first omega ()

Congratulations on your new watch. I've had the same model for two years now and love it.

As Ishrar said, the bezel is there to be used. It may loosen up a bit the more you use it, but I wouldn't worry about it falling off!!

I'm sure Derek and Keith know a lot more about the proven reliability of the co-axial movement since its inception. I do have a DeVille co-axial that keeps near perfect time, so I personally have no complaints. The co-axial movement is meant to provide greater accuracy over a longer period of time, so you can go about 10 years between servicing. It is also backed by a 3 year warranty rather than the standard 2 year warranty.

Oh, and yes, with regular servicing and proper care, I would expect the watch to outlive me!!!
