The Co-Axial May Be Better Than We Thought... *LINK*
I thought I'd share an interesting thread that I've been participating in over on the watchuseek Omega forum. In all of my years browsing the forums, I never came across a post from anyone who owned an original co-axial caliber 2500A DeVille until last night. As you'll see in the thread below, this gentleman bought one of the first limited edition DeVille co-axial models, and it managed to go 8 years before requiring its first servicing. He admitted that caliber 2500A was "quirky", but Omega is now replacing the movement with caliber 2500C and only charging him for the routine servicing.
Frankly, this really impresses me. First of all, caliber 2500A was known to be problematic, yet this owner managed to get 8 years out of it. If this is the case, then perhaps owners of the newer and better 2500B and 2500C movements can expect equally long service intervals. Also, from a customer service standpoint, I think it's great that Omega is replacing the movement for this gentleman. After all, the movement alone will cost more than he is paying for the servicing. Granted, Omega probably doesn't want to have to deal with any future 2500A problems, but it's still nice to know that Omega is giving him the newest movement at no additional charge.
For those of you who are interested, here is the link to the thread on watchuseek.
Cheers,
