Re: Something to say
In Response To: Re: Something to say ()

Geo's passage had me thinking...

: The co-axial escapement has been in handmade,
: very high end, watches for a number of
: years. But I agree with you that this
: technology will have to prove itself in
: production over a period of time.

I agree, but is Omega the first to mass produce the co-ax? I understand that the only way to truely 'test' the Omega co-ax reliability is with time. For now, no one can fully back up the co-ax until a reputation is established right? But I truely do trust the Omega name and do take their word for it... (definately NO offense to the rightfully more cautious watch enthusiasts out there.)
of.

I wonder how Rolex became so powerful in the watch industry. It's like Xerox. Is it becuase of reliability of their military issue watches back in the day? The company became so well known, that now some people call a copying machine a 'Xeroxing' machine...

: Georges, while lurking here for a while I have
: enjoyed reading your posts very much. You
: have a lot of knowledge and a pleasant way
: of sharing it. I've really benefitted from
: your input. Geo

Now, that's a statement that everyone can 100% agree on!!!
