: Dear watch experts
: I am thinking of buying an Aqua Terra 36.2 mm
: coax with the 2500 C movement. I love the
: looks of this watch and I am fascinated by
: the coax-technology. Have you recently heard
: of any problems with this movement? Is it
: robust for use during sport activities? Is
: it rugged and a watch for life?
: Thank you for sharing your experiences!

First off, I'm not a watch expert, but I'll tell you what I know....
I haven't heard of any serious problems with the 2500C yet. Although there is still the debate of whether Omega misguided the public on overhall issues (originally, co-ax movements were thought to be able to last 10 years without service, now it appears that it's actually between 5-8 years..... Only time will tell). Besides that, I've only heard good things about the 2500C. It definately isn't the most robust movement (quartz watches win that category) and I wouldn't want to play football (American) with it, but someone here posted an article in which watch testers drove motor bikes on rough terrian with the AT without any problems. As long you treat your AT well and send it in for service every now and then, it should last for a long time.......
Hope that helped.
