In Response To: Re: Omega 2500 movement - concerns ()

: Good question looking at the amount that Omega
: are having to put into it I would say Rolex
: know what the best is for them. If you look
: at the history of Rolex it started with
: taking the best from the watch movement
: market doing some adjustments then calling
: it Rolex then later Rolex produced it's own
: version. the modern example of this is the
: Daytona which was first a Valjoux movement
: then a Zenith movement now Rolex have
: produced it's own. Omega on the other hand,
: have kept faith in what works when you see
: the age of the 1120(2892). I think if Omega
: makes the escapement very reliable we will
: see if not all at least a fair few take up
: on it. You could ask the question why do
: Omega not use a free spring over-coiled
: balance like Rolex this would improve the
: time keeping again. I would guess that
: Daniels own work is as Rolex.
