1): No need for sources. I own a Broad Arrow, and I know it's uni-directional winding,specifically, clock-wise winding .

2)I had to decode the link in order to get a
peek. Wow, it's a great page even though I
don't read a word of French.

3)By the way, that 3303 movement picture on that
page was photoshopped by myself , not
Omega as the article credits to. (no
problem :-)
4)Well, that's some expert opinions/impressions
but not facts. Claiming who is more reliable
than who, one need many years of track
record. 5 years is too narrow a time window.
IMHO, from 36K bph to 28.8K bph, from 55hour
power reserve to 72hour, are significat
differences between watch movements. Again,
Rolex is better or not only time will tell.
Claims are just claims.

1)So you are saying that Marco Richon, Fabrice Bonjoux and Daniel Anselmi who are working at Omega are wrong and you are right? I trust people at Omega. I will email Omega for more details.

2)If you have firefox you could use the automatic translator

3)ok

4)A watchmaker who works at rolex and independant who was a former rolexmaster watchmaker have both more than enough experience to claim what is excellent and what is better than another product.
Their statements are founded. Many rolex movements are the leaders in their category want it or not. For instance cal 3130,3135,3185,3186, 1620 and 4130 as well their predecessors 3030, 3035,3085 and 4030 have always shown their superiority against their competitors. Iam not defending rolex but just pointing out that rolex prefers a robust and ultra reliable calibre to a complex and too difficult to service calibre.
Why do you think Rolex modified the EP? For a better reliability and increased accuracy.
