Does anyone have any pictures of the new model that they care to share?
I have only seen shots of the new limited Bond model.
: The current model 2531.80 retails for $2150. It
: is set to be replaced by a new co-axial
: model this fall. The differences will be
: applied (metal encased) dial markers, an
: applied Omega logo (not painted on like on
: the current model), red Seamaster lettering,
: and the co-axial escapement. The price is
: expected to be right around $3000, so it's a
: substantial increase in price.
: Other than the cosmetic changes to the dial
: (the applied markers, etc.) which gives the
: watch a bit more "upscale" look,
: most of what you are paying for is the
: co-axial escapement. Omega usually tacks on
: up to $1000 more for this feature. The
: co-axial requires less lubrication and is
: supposed to reduce friction, thus providing
: better long-term accuracy. Since the
: co-axial has only been in Omega watches for
: 6 years, there isn't a lot of long term,
: "real world" data to back Omega's
: claims.
: If you are unsure, I'd wait until the new watch
: comes out and look at it first hand. The old
: model will still be available, so you can
: look at both and decide which one appeals
: most to you and your wallet.
