: What a drag. I've only been researching Omega's
: for a couple of months now with the
: intention of getting a 2531.80 around
: Christmas time.
: So now I guess now my only option is to shell
: out around 40% more than I planned or get
: the older model before it becomes obsolete
: :(
: Though on the upside, is there any chance the
: 2531.80 will drop in price closer to the
: release?
No, the MSRP will remain $2150. However, Omega claims that they will not completely stop manufacturing the 2531.80 until early 2007, so it should still be readily available around Christmas. Keep in mind that this has been one of Omega's biggest-selling models over the past 10 years, so there are lots of them still out there in dealer cases.
: What are the physical characteristics (i.e.
: visual) that differentiate the coaxial and
: non coaxial models?
Visually, the only way you will be able to tell them apart is to look at the dial, since the bracelet and bezel will be the same. The new co-axial model's dial will have "Seamaster" written in red, not white like on the current model. Also, the new model will have the words "CO-AXIAL" written on the dial. The new model will also have applied (metal encased) dial markers and an applied Omega logo which are lacking on the 2531.80. Lastly, the skeleton hands on the new model will be longer than the ones on the 2531.80.
