Reply to ETA Failure Question

: Now an open question to modern omega watches
: owners, have your watches fitted with an eta
: caliber (1120 or 1128) failed or stopped
: brutally a single time during the last 6
: years?

Interestingly, I did experience the same problem with two different ETA-based calibers. Both my DeVille co-axial Power Reserve (caliber 2627) and a "gift" Seamaster 2254.50 (caliber 1120) failed to start upon winding. They did not just abruptly stop, but both would not start when fully wound without being shaken quite a bit. The DeVille was repaired under warranty and later sold. The SMP is being repaired right now.
