: Besides the escapement, you don't have the
: basic etachron accuracy regulating system on
: the 2500 that you find on the 1120, accuracy
: is regulated thanks screws in the balance
: wheel like on Rolex Microstella Balancewheel
: which was introduced years before Omega
: introduced theirs (in 1975 on calibre rolex
: 1575).You also have more jewels in the cal
: 2500 as compared to the cal 1120,27 against
: 23. It is a relatively new caliber nicely
: finished but it has to make its proofs over
: the years to be considered as fully
: reliable. I consider a caliber as reliable
: after 15 years of non stop wear and with no
: change in accuracy, time will tell you how
: good it is.

So....
are you sayiing that
The 1120 has less jewels, but a better accuracy regulating system? if so, does this mean that the 1120 may be more accurate but less resilient?
