: rolex uses a microstella adj. system rather
: than a regulator like omega?patek uses the
: same system as rolex. very superior form of
: regulation. rolex will barely depreciate and
: will never lose even close to half it's
: value. i own both and it really doesn't
: matter. pure fact is rolex is better.
The Microstella is also adjustable in height something the Gyromax isn't.The Gyromax system is too fragile to be compared to the Rolex system.I think the fact taht Rolex has an inhouse movement makes of it something highly appreciated. Omega probably uses Eta as bases of their calibres but they are probably the best one who modifies the eta 2892-2. It is the only worthy competitor of the rolex 3135 on the market alongwith the frederic piguet 1150 and lemania 8810.
