Re: The Movements Are Identical...
: I think that was a typo or miscommunication in
: Mathew J's post. Caliber 2500 is the same
: whether it is used in the Planet Ocean, Aqua
: Terra, or DeVille. If Omega made a luxury
: version of caliber 2500 (i.e. one with a
: luxury finish), they would give it a
: different movement number like they do with
: the 33xx series. For example, caliber 3301
: and caliber 3303 are mechanically identical,
: but caliber 3303 has the deluxe finishing.
: In this case, though, caliber 2500 is
: caliber 2500. There's no special finishing
: for 2500 movements that are used in
: DeVilles.
: As I said, it's all a matter of personal taste.
: I do agree that many DeVilles have nice
: looking dials, but I feel the same way about
: many Aqua Terra dials. It all comes down to
: what YOU like best and what you think is the
: best value for your money.
: Good luck in your decision,

Thank you John, I was thinking in the back of my mind that Omega always used a different model number when they did more finishing to the movements, which is why I wondered how the above gentleman knew it was different. Thanks for clearing this up for me, I suspected it was the very same movement/finishing. That being said, I still like the DeVille. I am not quite sure what I am going to get yet but I appreciate all the accurate information you have imparted to me. Thanks again.
