Re: SMP2254.50 vs PlanetOcean2200.50. Whats your t
In Response To: SMP2254.50 vs PlanetOcean2200.50. Whats your take? ()

: I own a SMP2254.50 and I love it. But
: PlanetOcean 2200.50 do appeal to me with its
: new bezel, arrow-styled hands and co-xial
: escapement movement. I was thinking if I
: have not already bought the 2254.50, will I
: pay the premium to go with a PlanetOcean
: instead? What is your take? Will you pay the
: premium for the newer look and the co-axial
: technology?

: BTW, what is the different between co-axial and
: SMP2254's 1120 calibre?

Don't waste your money, go for the 1120. The Co-Ax is a rip-off, especially now that the service interval has been reduced from 10 to 5-7 years.(I'm still waiting for a public apology from Omega for lying to its customers)

I own 3 Seamasters, two 1120 driven and one 2500C driven.The former are just as accurate as the latter and I predict just as reliable as the Co-Ax will ever be.

In short: Go for the 1120, it is way more bang for your buck than the over priced and questionably superior Co-Ax.
