Re: my thoughts
In Response To: my thoughts ()

: The speedmaster pro is indeed an outsanding
: watch, that has established itself a leader
: in the chronograph field. One mustn't forget
: the flightmaster another legend made by
: Omega in the 60-70's as well as the 1040 and
: 1045 chronographs. Omega built a great watch
: in the past it was the Seamaster 300, which
: was initially launched in 1957 for years
: after the rolex sub. The 300 became
: instantly a fvorite among collectors. But
: there were/are so many fakes produced.
: I am not trusting the 33xx powered chronos and
: not the coaxial as well. I think that even
: today of the whole Omega chrono range I
: would go with the speedy pro.

I don't want to start a long co-axial arguement like on another website but I am puzzled why you put the co-axial in the same bucket as the 33x?

I understand why you don't trust the 33X and I agree with you totally (I avoided the Seamaster Chrono for that very reason) but I don't remember hearing anyone with co-axial problems and even if there is the odd one with an issue they would not be in the same league as the 33x problems which are well documented.
