Re: Omega Seamaster pro buying questions

Thanks John! I will reach out to them tomorrow.

Also thanks to everyone who has posted all of the information on buying/movements/bracelet/repairs/etc... I am new to this tier of watch market and it has made it immensely easier to get up to speed and make an informed purchase.

: I just sent you a referral to the forum's
: favorite AD. As for whether the co-axial is
: worth the extra money, that's a highly
: contested debate. Omega officailly claims
: the co-axial can go 6-8 years between
: servicings, while non-co-axials can go 4-5
: years. Omega originally claimed the co-axial
: could go 10 years between servicings, but
: they have since backed off from that
: statement.

: This is just my personal opinion, but I've
: always felt that the Seamaster Pro models
: with caliber 1120 (non-co-axial) offer a bit
: more "bang for the buck". I wish
: Omega hadn't discontinued these 1120-based
: models, but rather kept them as sort of the
: "entry level" Seamaster. In
: Omega's efforts to move more upscale, they
: want to sell only co-axial equipped watches
: that obviously cost more. In the end, it all
: comes down to personal preference and how
: much you are willing to spend.

: Good luck,
: John
