: With due respect, I disagree with georges.
: 2892-A2 is a very fine and respected movement
: by itself. A wide variety of premium
: manufacturers from Breitling and Cartier to
: IWC and from Omega to Ulysse Nardin wouldn't
: trust their reputation on that movement
: otherwise. It's true it is not an exclusive
: movement, since they manufacture quite a lot
: of them. But it holds it's ground against so
: many others, even inhouse movements from big
: wathmaking names. Well, this si true in
: terms of reliability and accuracy.
: It is simly not true, taht 2892 will degrade
: after 5 years without service. It rather
: depends on how it was used and handled. If
: we ask other watch brands or watchmakers, we
: are told that a maintenance service after 5
: to 8 years will beneficial, but if it runs
: fine, leave it alone.
: And i just don't agree, that 1120 is the best
: eta 2892 based movement. Yes, it is one of
: the best, baut not the best. I own the IWC
: aquatimer with the IWC-modified 2892 and it
: is equal to Omegas 1120. It's probably not
: better but then it is not inferior either.
This is a fine comment. I was feeling a slight ambivilence about the purchasing of a De Ville Prestige which uses a 1120 movement, I was not sure whether it is a soundly made watch capable of decades of service, or something inferior that has to be babied and fixed (a lemon). At this point I think it would be a fine choice and would compliment my wrist rather well. This comment helped in my persuasion. Thank You
