: omega caliber 1120. The quality of this
: movement is good? very good? VERY, VERY GOOD
: or one of the best? Thanks in advance

Do you even know that those levels of differentiation would really mean?

How "good" does something have to be when all it does is tell you the right time? The 1120 is a superb movement, but you start getting into ridicilous definitions when you try to differentiate watch movements with that fine a gradient of goodness.

Frankly, the movement is NOT really an important part of the value of a watch. Most of what you pay for on a $1000 and up watch is the JEWELRY value -- not the actual parts, mechanics or materials.
