In Response To: Re: coaxial movement versions ()

The URL below from this site also contains some interesting information about the 2500 from John Rochowicz-- it's from a thread i started when i was asking about the 2403 movement in my AT Railmaster, which is basically the 2500B without the date complication. Enjoy --

: The easiest way to make sure that your watch
: has the 2500C is to buy a brand new one. I
: mean a really brand new one. This is
: becuase the 2500C is extremely new (I don't
: know when it actually came out, but for
: comparison the Aqua Terra made its debut in
: 2003 with the 2500B). I don't know it you
: can determine the age of the watch via the
: serial number on the case (you can
: definately do this to the number on the
: movement, but that obviously means opening
: the case, which is what we're trying to
: aviod right?).

: This leads directly into your second question.
: Since the 2500C, let alone the 2500B, is so
: new, no one is sure whether this movement is
: 'bulletproof' yet. Omega used to claim that
: the co-ax movements could stand up to 10
: years without regular servicing, but now
: that claim is down in the 6-8 year inverval.
: But on the bright side, there hasn't been
: much reports of failing 2500Cs.......yet.

: Just for the record, I, personally, would trust
: a watch with the 2500C.
