SMP Inside...

Dear Folks:

Being totally new to this horological kingdom, I have found this Forum quiet interesting, as I have been reading it, ironically, days AFTER getting my Bond SMP. (Nevertheless, It is not easy to describe how it feels to have it around my wrist. How sweet it is!)

I have noticed some questions about who is who, what can our could not be compared to, etc., and, as you sure know, the Omega Caliber 1120 is a somehow different than the base ETA 2982-A2. The Omega web site states Rodium Plated surfaces, polished bridges, Geneva Waves decor, etc. In short, some nice "art" works (my Bond has been running, out of the box, at an incredible +/- 0.5 sec/day, which I was not expecting at all).

Question: is there any place on the web with a nice picture of what is under the "hood" of an 1120 SMP? As an engineer, I really need to know how this thing looks inside, what is beautiful and what is not so... without opening mine :-) Something like the "Anatomy of an $85 Watch" would be absolutely delightful.

I sincerely appreciate any comments, pictures or resources.

Very best regards, and thanks in advance,

Ferenc
