Re: Chrono Comparison Rolex vs F.Piguet vs Zenith
In Response To: Chrono Comparison Rolex vs F.Piguet vs Zenith EP ()

: Just a question to see if anyone knows of or
: has done a comparison of the followign
: chrono movements. Rolex 4135? I think, Omega
: F.Piguet cal 3313 (Coaxial), and the Zenith
: El Primero. I have seen many posts on this
: and other forums related to opinions of the
: movement, but have not seen any direct
: comparisons such as one I saw between the
: Lemania 5100 and Valjoux 7750.

: Cal 33xx bashing aside, what are the general
: characteristics/ pros/cons of each?

I'm not too well informed about this topic, but I do know that Rolex probably has (by far) the best movement out of those three. You probably should wait for Georges and some other more knowledgeable people to drop on by.

Just out of curiosity, are you going to make a future purchase soon???

Whatever the case....Good Luck!
