: I thought you guys might be amused at some of
: the things the AD "educated" me
: about: 1. The Co-Axial chronometer was
: developed by George Daniel and 4 of
: "Omega's Best Engineers"...and
: they spent 12 years building it in a
: "secret department" within Omega.
Yeah, ok
: 2. The Co-Axial is the toughest, most
: sophisticated, most accurate, most
: complicated and most shock resistant
: movement ever made. EVER!
I thought the CoAxial was an escapement, its a movement now?
: 3. The 1957 Limited Edition (identical to
: current moonwatch, but with a hippocampus
: logo on the dial) of the Speedmaster is the
: first and only version of the Speedmaster
: the is designed for diving. I can only
: surmise that he fed me this tripe because I
: happened to be wearing a Seamaster.
If it was designed for diving, I believe it would be a Seamaster, not a Speedmaster

: friend" of the Vice-President of Omega.

: Browsed a bit more and left with my wallet
: intact.
And left a little better educated on Omega's also, it seems
