Re: Pre-purchase dilemma
In Response To: Re: Pre-purchase dilemma ()

Some very solid advice in this thread.
I'm glad my decision was easy.

The stainless Rolex uses is also less hypo-allergenic.

The co-ax has had a couple of updates since it's been out, most if not all the bugs have been worked out. Yes, it's only been out for 6 years, but that's 6 years, not 6 months.

The co-ax should require less servicing, not to mention the lower servicing costs involved when compared to Rolex movements.

If you like the looks of the Rolex better, and you have the cash burning a hole in your pocket,that's the one to get.

The difference in quality is so minute to me, it's not even worth mentioning.

I'd rather have 2 nice Omega's.

I haven't added much to this topic, but it's one I enjoy.

Good luck with your purchase, and make it a fun experience!!

Regards,
Ken
