Others have flown the nest to pastures new. Fond memories, but times change and collections are never constant. Two Breitlings have gone and an Omega PO has been added in their place: "Change is Constant" (anon)

Yeap. I am right there with you. I had to let the SteelFish XPlus go to make room for the PO. mmmm..... unlimited funds.... "sigh"... something I don't see in my near future....
I take it that's the 45mm?

I take it that's the 45mm? It's the 42mm - I think Omega have cracked the accuracy secret with this incarnation of the co-axial movement, it's around the +_1sec variance / day at the moment. Lovely . But then my CWSLE was also very good at around the +2sec/day mark. Cheers M

My Aqua Terra Chronograph runs +1sec / week! Sam can vouch for that too since he borrowed it from me for a while. That AT of mine runs circles around my PO in terms of accuracy. Makes no sense...

Makes no sense... +1/ week on the AT Chrono +7/day on the PO I was amazed by the accuracy of that AT Chrono of Chips. For some reason the PO seems to be running quite fast. My personal opinion is that the co-ax doesn't run any more/less accurate than the caliber 1120 movement in the SMPs....all 3 of mine are running +1/day. Maybe once regulated, the co-ax will stay put and not drift over the following years. Just thinking out loud. ;D

Maybe that has something to do with it (a guess). Any mech. movement that reaches +1sec\day or better is excellent in my books. For super accuracy my B-1 which is +3sec\9 months is in a different league with it's SQ movement.

the AT uses the 3301 movement which is the less decorated 3303 found in the Broad Arrow. It is NOT a co-axial movement though. How it gets +4 seconds a month is beyond me. I just got lucky I guess.
