I dont know georges...

In Response To: Re: If you were to choose between these two which. ()

I'll conceede on the helium valve but then again I personally think they are all stupid...but the movement I don't think I agree on, the Co Axial has been in the real world in the 2892 form for a while now and many say it is very reliable, and personally I would rate the base 2892 at least as durable if not more than the Rolex 313X series, this is discounting the balance issue which was corrected with the co axial versions...

Also as far as value over the years personally I don't care much, every Rolex I have bought new and sold has lost money, I have done calculations and if I did the same with Omega or many other brands I would have lost less...YMMV but as long as the watch is good I don't care much about resale, but with my track record I don't make out any better with Rolex
