: Thanks. Yes, I was wondering if a watch like
: this, though it is a chronometer, would have
: more difficulties because it also functions
: as a chronograph. I've had it for almost 10
: years and haven't had any major problems
: with it (though showering with the crown
: open wasn't my best day), but I was hearing
: bad things about the 1120 movements lately
: and wanted to know how these ones measured
: up.
I agree. Chronographs are more delicate. As for the cal.1120 movement, there is really not much talk about it. As an improved ETA 2892-A2, Omega 1120 is at least as reliable as its base calibre.
There are always some internet myths spreading among watch forums. More often than not, the people who made bad claims about a certain watch (brand or movment) do not actually own that watch or calibre themselves.
Watches are factory manufactured products. There always be lemons or defective ones. This can happen to any brand and at any price range. But over generalized claims based on a couple of samples is not worth listening.
Reliablity/stability is never a concern for me. Because among the watches I owned, even the really cheap ones (regardless of brand) can lasted 10 years, and counting.
